The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund is often the only thing standing between our farmers and governmental overreach of power.

They help support farmers like Mark Baker who faced $700,000 in fines just because he raised a heritage pork breed that competes with big, industrial pork farmers.

By entering this raffle, you'll be: 

• helping our nation's farmers fight unjust laws,
• preserving our right to get foods of our choice from farmers of our choice,
  
• expanding legal raw milk sales from grass-based dairies, and
• equipping farmers with the information they need to navigate abusive raids and government regulations.

Keep in mind that 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.

You'll also be entering for a chance to win a trip in July 2015* to Alaska with Kristen Michaelis, the Food Renegade.

This trip for two includes**:

• round-trip airfare to Anchorage, Alaska, for you and your guest from anywhere in the continental USA;
• 6 days & 5 nights total lodging in Seldovia and in Homer;
• your choice of 1 full-day or 2 half-day fishing expeditions; and
• a complementary meal with Kristen Michaelis and trip sponsor, Dave Wetzel of Green Pasture Products.

Whale sightings… lush, green trees and mountains, mild temperatures… unbelievable landscapes… this is Alaska in July. The trip is tailored to your interests and schedule, featuring stops in scenic Homer and Seldovia.

 
*The trip is usually scheduled during salmon and halibut season in July 2015. The scheduling is flexible, and the date will be mutually agreed upon by winner, Kristen and Dave. 

**Not included in the package: hotel in Anchorage on the night of arrival and of departure, rental car and gas round trip to the Kenai Penninsula, transfers across Kachemak Bay (via ferry or flights), parking in Seldovia, meals, fishing licenses (a past winner estimates these costs to be $500/person).


Check out the adventures of last year's winner, and FTCLDF member, Barbara G:

"Our trip to Alaska was truly more spectacular than I could have ever imagined!  The scenery was absolutely stunning and the fresh seafood was amazing!  I feel very blessed to have experienced this must see place and now that I have had a taste of Alaska I hope to someday go back!"




You will have the time of your life.

And even if you don't win, you'll be certain that your money is going to a fabulous cause.
