Organic dairy farmers are suing the federal government over six years of payments into a pricing system built for factory farms.

The Coalition for Organic Dairy Exemption filed three federal challenges on April 28 seeking an organic exemption from USDA milk pricing rules.

The suit seeks compensation for those payments but does not ask the court to end the pricing system entirely.

Ronda Rousey walked away from the UFC cage to raise Wagyu cattle on almost 4,000 acres in Oregon.

She and her husband Travis Browne grew their ranch, Browsey Acres, from 2.4 acres in California to that Oregon spread.

They raise Wagyu beef and pasture raised chickens there and sell direct to customers.

She stepped back into the cage once this year, beat Gina Carano in 17 seconds, then called it her last fight.

Yaupon holly grows wild across the Southeast, and it’s the sole caffeinated plant native to the continent.

Whole Foods named yaupon a top food trend, and Florida’s Yaupon Brothers has grown roughly 70 percent a year since 2019.

A wild shrub tea companies used to forage is becoming an actual Florida crop.

French school and work canteens must now serve plates that are half quality labelled food and one fifth organic.

The EGalim law set that rule for canteens run by public bodies and private catering firms starting in 2022.

A canteen required to buy labelled food every school day becomes steady, predictable work for small farms.

University of Kentucky dining has pumped over $31 million into Kentucky farms since 2014.

UK Dining’s own reporting puts farm and food business purchases at 43 percent of total spend, more than double its contract target.

That steady demand gives a grower a buyer who orders lunch every week of the semester.

The state’s Horticulture Mission sells subsidized grow bags filled with soil, cow dung and a biopesticide for roofs and balconies.
