What course of action can a farm take if they’re being strong-armed by a local privatized bureaucracy?
Mark Baker of Baker’s Green Acres in Marion, Michigan joins us today to share his story. Baker’s Green Acres provides high quality meat products raised in the most natural way possible. Pasture feeding is a main component of their methods to produce the best tasting, "cleanest" meat they can. Using these methods, they raise GMO free and pasture raised pork, chicken, and beef. However, Mark’s farming journey wasn’t all green pastures, daisies, and prancing animals under a smiling sun. Tune into this episode to hear a chilling reality of the Department of Agriculture and what you can do if you’re ever faced with a similar situation!

About the
Guest:
Mark
Baker started his Anyone Can Farm dream when he was a boy and rode
to a farm with his mother to pick up vegetables. When he and Jill
married nearly 25 years ago, they started Baker’s Green Acres with
a backyard garden that quickly grew to include hens, a goat, and
pigs. He’s always considered home grown food to be a
birthright and a means of better health. When these things were
challenged by a government agency order, Mark discovered the value
of the Bill of Rights to safeguard our freedom to farm and live a
healthy lifestyle.
