Honey, I Killed the Superbug

Activist Post: Bureaucrats and Other Pesky Critters on the Road to Food Freedom

For a couple of years or so I have been investigating the legal issues that relate to the rights of an individual to grow and sell meat, poultry, and other homegrown farm products directly to consumers. What would be the problem, you might ask? You can grow or raise, and sell, what you want to sell, right? We live in a free country, with free and open markets, do we not? Well, not so fast.
