What happens when your homestead isn't compliant with food laws?

If your homestead isn't compliant, you can find yourself in trouble. Alexia Kulwiec from Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund has helpful tips for you. 
Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) protects the rights of farmers and consumers to engage in direct commerce through legal representation and policy work. Our members receive help drafting the agreements they need to provide food directly to consumers. We are there for farmers facing inspection and regulatory issues and may provide representation of members facing litigation if it fits our mission. We work to influence state and local policy to ease the regulatory burden placed on independent farmers.

What its Like Being an Overweight Homesteader Navigating Through the Healthy Food Movement

As our country embraces an amazing new grassroots health movement for our families, we will also be looking at healthy foods, weight, and childhood obesity. I, for one, am 100% on board for this, as I am one of many in my generation facing the results of an unhealthy America. We have chronic diseases, struggle with our weight, and deal with inflammation, all while helping our kids who struggle with nuerodivergencies from the same food issues. 
This episode is packed with great information on homesteading, homeschooling, and how health can look different for everyone.
