Your Local Farmers Market Society Presents Its Eight Annual Winter Market
National Geographic, with its familiar yellow border and unforgettable photography, is an American icon. Millions around the world count on the magazine for its reports on global cultures and the natural world. But those same readers might also be learning about another great American institution: "objective" journalism that lacks the courage to tell the truth. 
A recent court order has required Olera Farms to comply with all British Columbia Egg Marketing Board rules and regulations. It has been a long and draining fight to try and maintain independence for the organic movement. Olera Farms devoted all its resources to this fight and it has personally drained me financially and emotionally. We did so many things throughout the fight. A petition of support for an independent organic industry raised 7000 signatures in 2 months. A letter writing campaign to the Ministry of Agriculture resulted in over 60 communications a day. I thank the consumer support for both these initiatives but at the end of each we were mandated to talk with the marketing boards and no change resulted. I cannot think of what more Olera Farms and those that supported us could have done. Thank you once again.
