Please support Elect Michele Reneau anyway you can.
She was in the trenches with us helping us save legal raw milk in Tennessee. While she was pregnant she was on the battle ground with us.
With her help as well as others, small family farms were saved and people freedom to choose their food was protected.
If you can’t vote for her please send her a donation and share her posts to help bring visibility to her campaign.
She is supported also by some really great farm loving people in Nashville.
Help us bring this girl to the capital!

Did you know that in 2019, Rep. Patsy Hazlewood was going to sponsor a bill to limit your choice to decide for yourself what milk you could drink?
Without a doubt, freedom from burdensome regulations while buying food is important to local farmers and consumers in the Chattanooga area. Here is the story of how I got involved in the legislative process; my personal experience with regulatory agencies and my resulting desire to advocate for the amazing local farmers who provided nutrient dense foods to my family. I hope you will read the Real Milk article by Pete Kennedy here: https://home.solari.com/food-series-how-one-consumer-makes-a-difference-part-2-with-michele-reneau/
It is my goal to keep the government out of the private lives of law-abiding citizens and uphold the important freedom to decide where and from whom they decide to source their food. In addition to being healthier, locally sourced food increases resilience in the food supply and contributes to greater food security in times of scarcity, as was seen with the egg shortage last year. As your representative, I promise to work towards food and health freedom in our state, and liberty for all.

How can you get the most out of your raw milk in our stand??

Step 1- Buy one gallon for $12

Step 2- Take home and put it in a Mason jar, something with a wide mouth. Let sit overnight- skim the cream off the top the next morning for your coffee.

Step 3- You'll probably have 3-3.5 quarts of the gallon left. Pour 1 quart of it into your instant pot and make yogurt.

Step 4- Use the remaining 2 quarts for your drinking, cereal, and baking needs.

Grocery store prices on organic dairy....
1 pint of cream
1 quart yogurt
1/2 gallon of milk

$20.55

🤷‍♀️ I'll leave you guys to ponder that thought while I drink my Misty Brook Jersey milk....

Did you know we ship our meat all over the northeast AND that orders $50 or more get free shipping?!

CLOSED ON SUNDAYS!

I’m not trying to be rude but we are Closed On Sunday.
I am missing church because I’m responding to customer messages and phone calls this morning.

I know we work 7 days a week but this is our Sabbath and we should have at least one day a week when we have a reduced work load.

Thank you for understanding.

Hey Folks, do you remember this from a few years ago? Don't call now, since we don't need it anymore, but I would like to refresh your memorry and give you some new information.

The picture in this post was from a few years ago when Rep Patsy Hazlewood tried to repeal the TN Herd Share Act , which is how you legally can obtain this white gold in TN if you don't own your own cow. Rep. Hazlewood further has a terrible record on 2A, illegal immigration and much more. She finally has a challenger after 10 years.

Michele Reneau, one of our grassroots heroes who helped mobilize against the repeal of the Herd Share Act is stepping up to continue fighting for you. I hope you will take just a moment to read about her and support in her in any way possible. When the repeal of the TN Herd Share Act was on the line, Michele Lee Reneau along with other local grassroots advocates worked to get the word out and encourage phone calls, emails and discussions with legislators to stop the repeal. She has worked with farmers and local consumers of real food for 15 years and eventually started a food co-op that came under government action that resulted in legislation to protect such ventures to connect farmers and consumers. https://www.realmilk.com/making-difference-tennessee/

It would be extremely valuable for our community all across TN to have Michele Reneau defeat the incumbent, Patsy Hazlewood. Every legislator makes laws from ALL Tennesseans. Would you visit her website and make a donation to help her get the message out to her district? Would you look to see who you might know in her area that you could out to personally to tell them about this true conservative choice?

Visit her page at www.facebook.com/electmichele. Her website is www.electmichele.com. District 27 spans from Lookout Mountain, Lookout Valley, Red Bank, Signal Mountain, Hixson, Soddy to Mowbray Moxie’s Mountain Herbs

The election is August 1st. Please share with your friends!

Thank you!

One of the biggest concerns for many Tennesseans is the issue of illegal immigration at the southern border. I too share that concern. Thankfully in 2018, HB 2315 was passed, which prohibits sanctuary cities in TN. It passed in spite of a few legislators voting against it. Unfortunately, my opponent, Patsy Hazlewood, voted against HB2315. This was one bill in the right direction to protect TN. I believe in putting Americans first, and my promise to you is that I will do that. My votes in Nashville will reflect what is best for my constituents and many communities across the state of Tennessee.

Hi, I’m Michele Reneau and my goal is simple-- to represent the people of Tennessee with honesty, transparency and commitment to the values that underpin my campaign: faith, family and freedom. Follow me to learn more about how I can be your advocate on Capitol Hill for the rights that you hold dear, and turn the tide for future generations in the direction of liberty for all.

Well team, it's go time. Want to stop farmers from being forced to vaccine their livestock? Then keep reading. This is the 3rd & final push.

Currently in TN Code the State Veterinarian and the State Commissioner of Agriculture have the authority to order vaccinations of animals within the state or imported into the state for the purpose of protecting the health of animals in Tennessee.

Our bill, HB2801, creates an opt-out for farmers from having to vaccinate their livestock (should a vaccine be mandated) if the farmer was already not vaccinating livestock on their farm.

This bill has already passed out of House Agriculture Subcommittee & Senate Agriculture Committee. It's in it's 3rd & final committee this Wednesday morning at 9am & it's all hands on deck. Basically every Big Ag entity in the state is against this bill, as is the Ag Dept, the State Vet, & the Farm Bureau. They're trying to take away personal liberty & property rights to ensure that their profit flows remain unimpeded.

Anyways, here's what you do. Please email the following committee members and ask that they vote YES on HB2801 Wednesday morning in House Agriculture Committee. We need 9 to vote yes for this to get out of committee. Please copy and paste this to your friends, your FB, whatever. We win this with public pressure so from now until Wednesday at 9am we need to keep it up.

All the email needs to say is, "Rep x, I live in x & am asking that you please vote YES on HB2801." You can add more if you'd like, but no need to be fancy. We just need them to be flooded with calls and emails. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Bill to protect farmers from mandatory livestock vaccines just passed out of House Agriculture Subcommittee after some heated debate with the State Vet!

Now for phase 2. The bill is up in Senate Ag tomorrow & they need emails!!

We need your help supporting legislation that protects farmers from mandatory vaccines. On Wednesday (March 6th) the Senate Bill 2543 will be up in Senate Energy, Agriculture, & Natural Resources Committee at 11am Central.

Currently in Tennessee code the State Veterinarian and the State Commissioner of Agriculture have the authority to “order tests or vaccinations of animals within the state or imported into the state for the purpose of protecting the health of animals in Tennessee.” SB2543 creates an opt out for farmers from having to vaccinate their livestock (should a vaccine be mandated) if the farmer was already not vaccinating livestock on their farm.

Please email the following Senators and ask that they vote YES on SB2543. That's it. Nothing else needed. THANK YOU!
