Help Wisconsin Raw Milk Dairies! (continued)
On October 20, 2002, Administrative Law Judge Cheryl F. Daniels gave her final ruling allowing bona fide owners of a milk producer license the right to consume raw milk directly from the farm. With financial help from the Weston A. Price Foundation, a model Limited Liability Corporation was set up at Hayward, Wisconsin (Hayward Community Dairy) much like the current Corporation we have set up here at Midvalleyvu Farms.

Those desiring raw milk can become a non-voting member by purchasing a share of stock in one of these farms. There has been intense interest in this model farm set up, which has led farms in a total of five states to follow suite and set up their own Corporations.

We three farms in the state of Wisconsin are at risk of losing our rights as well as a large part of our livelihood. If we lose our rights, the other states where these Farm Share Corporations are set up will be soon to follow. If that happens, this Nation will have taken a step backwards in the fight to make raw milk and dairy products available.

Why? The Wisconsin DATCP has decided that somehow we must have misconstrued what Judge Cheryl F. Daniels declared as the final ruling in our cases last October. It is the understanding of the DATCP that we are not set up to conform to the Securities Laws of Wisconsin. In other words, we're breaking the law!
