Thanks to all food donors and attendees: you made these events possible and helped fill the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund's treasure chest that will protect access to many more farm-fresh breakfasts, lunches and dinners to come.
Thursday, November 7 | 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Joel Salatin spoke to a full house during his Polyface YOU! workshop as he answered some tough questions like, "Can WE feed the world?" and "What can I do?"
Attendees enjoyed an unbeatable lunch of southwest salad with cilantro lime dressing featuring Olea Estates olive oil, BBQ pulled pastured pork from Miller's Organic Farm, organic gluten-free Bob's Red Mill cornbread, Paleo wraps from Julian Bakery, grass-fed butter from Kerrygold, Pure Indian Foods ghee and honey, Fermenti Artisan curtido cultured vegetables, and fried banana in orange juice.
Thursday, November 7 | 6 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.
After a scrumptious reception and three-course meal, Pete Kennedy, Esq., FTCLDF President, announced the winner of the 2013 Never a Doormat Award, who was a very surprised Vernon Hershberger for his courage in taking a stand against the Wisconsin Department of Agricultural Trade and Consumer Protection.
Then Joel Salatin and Joe Mercola took to the stage in The GMO Debate of the Decade, as the debate got heated over the resolution, "The Federal government should mandate labeling of GMOs on food". Right after the debate, young and old alike danced the night away to activist Caroline Barringer and her seven-piece New York band, Remixx.

David Gumpert, moderator of The GMO Debate of the Decade and blogger at The Complete Patient, and Kristin Canty, filmmaker of Farmageddon, signed books and DVDs during Friday's breakfast.
