Mad Cow Lies |
|

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 |

The US Department of Agriculture has been accused of outright lying about its mad cow. The infected animal was said to have been a "downer", a cow too sick to walk. The US only tests downers for mad cow disease, and this case was cited as an indication that the testing system works. Now, three witnesses, including the owner of the slaughterhouse where the cow was found, the trucker who shipped the cow, and the worker who shot it, have gone public with sworn statements that the cow was walking and apparently in good health. If true, this would mean that any of the 35 million cows slaughtered annually in the US could just as well have the disease.

CSA Update |
|
It's 2008 and the new farming year is underway! Sign-ups for 2008 are way ahead of any previous year, with both renewals and new members already in. Share prices have been increased for this season (the first increase since we began four years ago). The season will once again be 18 weeks, beginning around mid-June. This year, you're also encourage to visit the farm at least once, and a new farmwork program is being considered, where you can do some veggie gardening here in the field, in 4-hour blocks, when it's convenient to you. If you're interested in CSA with us for 2008, here are the details for our farm, and the new 2008 printable sign-up form (or email or call for one to be mailed!). And there's more CSA info in the FAQs.
