Attorney Judith McGeary, a founding board member of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, will be your host. This week's guest is Howard Vlieger, president and co-founder of Verity Farms and board member of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance. Please tune in to the interview about the effects of genetically modified foods; how they’re affecting soil, plant, animal, and human health; and how citizens are fighting back.
Verity family farmers do not feed livestock any crops that have been genetically modified and with good reason. In a 1998 experiment, Vlieger noticed firsthand that his cows avoided the genetically modified Bt corn that was on one side of their food trough while demolishing the natural corn on the other side. What do the cows instinctively understand about genetically modified foods that many humans don’t?
Please join our conversation this Saturday to find out.

She is also an attorney, a farmer, and the Executive Director of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance. The Alliance is a non-profit organization founded to protect the rights of independent farmers, ranchers, and homesteaders, and to help ensure the success of independent agriculture.

Howard Vlieger is the president and co-founder of Verity Farms. He began the journey of a lifetime in 1989 when he started using alternative farming practices on the family farm. Howard considers it an amazing privilege to be a care taker of the soil: “The Good Lord made an awesome creation when He created the soil. It is a true joy to continue the never-ending learning experience of working with all of the biological and elemental components of the soil to produce clean, high quality, nutritious food for all deserving consumers to eat.”
Verity Farms works with crop and livestock producers in 7 states. Verity Farms has a successful biological crop production division, a grain division, a feed division focusing on natural livestock production, and a natural meat division. The mission of Verity Farms is the reestablishment of the “family farmer.” Howard also serves on the Board of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance. |
