USDA Threatens $3.9 Million Fine
for Selling Rabbits
With Pete Kennedy, Esq. & John Dollarhite |
Donna Betts has been a farmer in Ohio for 60 years. In 1967, she became the first woman in Ohio ever to be granted an FHA Farm Owners loan, which allowed her to purchase a 200-acre farm. Her sustainable agriculture farm has been home to sheep, chickens, goats, miniature donkeys, Tamworth hogs, and Belted Galloway beef cattle. More...
Donna established an agricultural learning center on her farm called Gwamma’s Farm Retreat and has mentored many adults and children in sustainable farming and marketing. She was also the Farm Bureau Federation Board secretary, a volunteer firewoman, and a member of the Ohio Catholic Rural Life Council Board. She started the Tri-County Graziers Group and aided in the creation of River City Farmers’ Market and Marietta Kitchen Creations, a shared-use kitchen where local farmers can prepare foods in a state-licensed facility.
In 2007, Donna was one of seventeen women featured in Holly Bollinger’s book Women of the Harvest: Inspiring Stories of Contemporary Farmers.

| Diana Austin was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but moved to rural West Virginia in 2001. A graduate of Penn State and Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University, she has a B.S. in Diagnostic Imaging and is registered with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) as a Radiologic Technologist and with the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) as a Diagnostic Cardiac and Diagnostic Abdominal Sonographer. Because she witnessed firsthand the harmful effects of the modern westernized diet and conventional drug therapies on the human body, she decided to move to West Virginia to pursue her interest in raising nutrient dense food on a farm of her own. By happy coincidence, she met up with Donna Betts, and is an original member of the Gravel Road Gang, a mentor and discussion group for female farmers. Her memberships include Weston A. Price Foundation, the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, and The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. Diana currently works at a rural critical access hospital, and has experience raising pastured poultry and grass-fed beef. |
