Thank you! This was quite the adventure as it played out in real life. I am sure that Vernon has some additional memories and thoughts from the 3 year long investigation that took place. Yes, it would make an amazing movie...
Pretty sure that this story "script" is the hands of a producer that has been working on a raw milk documentary for the last 6 years or so. This was a part of that documentary, but after this story it most assuredly be a stand alone. Will keep this thread updated...
Great piece. Imagine LEO going after an honest food producer when all the criminals who sent them to arrest a righteous man are roaming the halls of power. Thanks for enlightening us to this case. Yes, a movie or video please!
Wouldn't it be nice if the corrupt people responsible for attacking our food security got a dose of "I am rubber you are glue" from the very people they are forcing to enforce draconian actions against small farmers?
Indeed, it is a difficult situation when LEOs are asked to participate in situations such as this.
In this particular case, the orders were mostly carried out by agency "officials." There is another whole story there... one best left for another day.
What an excellent read! Looks like the makings for a "based on true story" movie...

Yes - regarding a "movie"!
Last November I had inquired: "Was any kind of a documentary ever made on this? ........." Today I wonder: was there any video footage made? .........
The outcome of this case is still worth celebrating!

Chef!! It's so great to hear from you. :)

As far as I know, there was not a documentary made on this. There is some footage.
Keep in touch!

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this. I will share it will my real food community.
Thank you Sally! It was an incredible time throughout the trial and leading up to it. Also precedent setting!
