Second Annual International Raw Milk Symposium

8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center

1 John Nolan Drive

Madison, Wisconsin

 

Wisconsin was carefully selected as the site for this year's symposium because of the recent spate of actions taken against Wisconsin raw dairy producers and their customers.  Wisconsin, as the 2nd largest dairy state in the union, and the state with the most small dairies, is a crucial state for raw milk activists and defenders to "dig in" against the erosian against their consumer rights.

 

Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, (DATCP) through creative interpretation of law, and legislators through ill-advised legislation, wants to insure that raw milk never passes consumers' lips- by harassing the farmers that produce it - all in the name of "public & food safety".

 

 

That's why this symposium, at this time, in this state is so important.
