It is the latest case of extreme government food tyranny, and one that
is sure to have you reeling in anger and disgust. Health department
officials recently conducted a raid of Quail Hollow Farm, an organic
community supported agriculture (CSA) farm in southern Nevada, during
its special "farm to fork" picnic dinner put on for guests -- and the
agent who arrived on the scene ordered that all the fresh, local produce
and pasture-based meat that was intended for the meal be destroyed with
bleach.
For about five years now, Quail Hollow Farm has been
growing organic produce and raising healthy, pasture-based animals which
it provides to members as part of a CSA program. And it recently held
its first annual "Farm to Fork Dinner Event," which offered guests an
opportunity to tour the farm, meet those responsible for growing and
raising the food, and of course partake in sharing a meal composed of
the delicious bounty with others.
But when the Southern Nevada
Health District (SNHD) got word of the event and decided to get
involved, this simple gathering of friends and neighbors around a giant,
family-style picnic table quickly became a convenient target for the
heavy hand of an out-of-control government agency. And Monte and Laura
Bledsoe, the owners and operators of Quail Hollow Farm, were unprepared
for what would happen next.
