3 Cycles of Giving
Donate once, once-in-a-while or monthly. It's all good. If you are on the fence, why not consider a cycle of monthly donations - they will help create a more stable (and sustainable!) Foundation.
2 Specify or Not?
Donate to the general fund and we'll put it to use where the need is greatest. Or, if you prefer to specify - earmark your donation for NAIS Fund, CA Raw Milk Fund, or Charitable Relief Fund. The Internal Revenue Service will not allow us to receive donations on behalf of a specific individual.
1 Circle
Consider your donation as an important part of the sustainable food cycle.
This "green" compost will spur the growth of more educational activities and charitable aid - which will in turn spur the growth of more farmers, food and consumers. Coming full circle these enlivening foods will spur us to do more, teach more and give more.
Thank you!
What is AB1735?
It is devious legislation enacted by the State of California that prohibits coliform counts to no more than 10 per millimeter in each bottle of raw milk.
However, coliforms are not harmful to human health and it is almost technically impossible to limit raw milk in the bottle to less than 10 coliforms per millimeter.
If the limit of 10 applied to the bulk tank before the milk is transferred to the bottle then this legislation would not be a problem. However, agitation of the milk increases the number of coliform, as studies have shown, and transferring the milk from the tank to the bottle results in agitation. Consequently, placing the 10 coliform limit on the bottle rather than at the tank effectively constitutes a ban on the sell of raw milk.
The Foundation needs your help to fight this legislation. Please contribute so that your right to consume one of nature's perfect foods will not be compromised.

Farmer Compassionate Relief ...
GIVE A HAND TO A FARMER IN NEED
Farm-to-Consumer Foundation Compassion Relief Fund
Farmers often put their families and livelihoods at risk to be able to provide nutrient dense foods to people who understand how important real nutrition is.
If we don't do anything to stop the government agencies and large food interests from putting these courageous people out of business, then there will soon be nothing left to eat, except the useless calories the corporations allow us.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard round the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - from "Concord Hymn"
