Michael Schmidt with Alice Jongerden on stage in British Columbia.

About the interview: “Wednesday, 02 February 2011 Alice Jongerden, the founder and former operator of a 450-member Fresh Milk cowshare in Chilliwack, BC, has been under attack by the Fraser Health Authority since 2009. In March 2010, the Health Authority obtained an order preventing Ms. Jongerden from distributing Fresh Milk for human consumption.

In December 2010, Ms. Jongerden was cited for contempt for breaching the March 18, 2010 order, although no penalty was imposed. She has since ceased operations. Ms. Jongerdens is now applying to set aside the March 18, 2010 order on the basis that the order is founded on a constitutionally invalid law. She says that she and the other members of Home on the Range have a constitutional right to make nutritional choices. Alice will join us to talk about the benefits of raw milk, any health risks involved and her path to trying to make it accessible. Follow Up Event @ Rio Theater 1660 E Broadway: Lastly if you are not able to attend the event and/or live too far away please consider making a donation to the “Real Milk Legal Defense Fund” to support Farmer and Agister Alice Jongerden and the coop in its constitutional challenge for our food rights and to overturn the various injunctions to stop the fresh, unprocessed milk flowing to private coop members by going to www.homeontherangefarms.com”
