Update - Local organic dairy farm's false statement

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who contacted them. Below is their reply:

 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We were not previously

aware of these two locations until this week when we received many e-

mails regarding it.

 

I have contacted both farms and am waiting to hear back from them.

From the information I received it seems that both locations focus

on animal rescues from abusive and unethical situations. I am

waiting to see if they have capacity for an operation like ours.

 

I will be sure to keep you up-dated as soon as I hear from them.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
