Episode 5: Consumer Access 
Boneta Bill, FarmMatch, and Alvin Schlangen's Trial
Podcast Originally Released on January 26, 2013
With host Kimberly Hartke
     
Episode 5 of the Food Rights Hour podcast is all about farm-to-consumer access. During this three-part episode by host Kimberly Hartke, you'll hear: 
  1. Joel Salatin and other proponents talk about Virginia's House Bill 1430, the "Boneta Bill," which provides that the "commerce of farm-to-business and farm-to-consumer sales" is included in the Virginia Right to Farm Act;
  2. an interview with Liz Reitzig about the new foodie and farm matching website, FarmMatch.com; and
  3. interviews with Alvin Schlangen's lawyer and community members concerning his exciting jury trial win in Minnesota.

 

What did farmer and author Joel Salatin and others have to say in favor of House Bill 1430 at a press conference in Virginia? What makes FarmMatch.com different from other food finder websites? What does Nathan Hansen, Alvin Schlangen's lawyer, have to say post trial about the case? Listen to the podcast to find out!
