Dear Friend,

Thank you for being a valued ally and supporter of Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund!  I would like to ask for your help in spreading the word to your networks about FTCLDF and the work that we do.

Below I have provided some short language and a couple of graphics you can use to help broaden awareness about the membership-based legal defense available to independent farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, and cottage food makers.

Beyond the small membership fee, our members' needs for legal assistance, within the scope of our mission are covered. In order to keep providing these specialized, protective legal services, we need a wider base of supporters and members. 

We've had quite a year, answering more than 3,000 inquiries, and addressing more than 600 of our members' legal needs from farm raids, fines and lawsuits, to herdshares, on-farm processing advice, business entity formation, and zoning issues. 

We've also fought fiercely to challenge and change unfair regulations at the local, state, and federal levels, making independent farmers, ranchers, cottage food makers, and homesteaders freer to grow healthy foods for all of us.

We have far more demand and far more fires to fight that we can possibly address. In 2024 we need to level up. Will you help us do that by sharing the word about our work? 

Please feel free to draw from the language below. And please feel free to reach out to me anytime to discuss how we can work together for a better world.
