This bill would amend the current state law regarding unpasteurized milk to ALLOW unpasteurized milk sales directly from the farmer. Contact your elected officials and let them know you want the freedom to buy directly from a local farmer!

All it takes is a quick, polite e-mail to your representative and senator asking them to please consider supporting or co-signing this bill. You could emphasize that this would be a good idea for supporting local, small farms and keeping money in Arkansas. Right now, people are driving to surrounding states to get their milk - what a waste of gas and time. The legislators are open, but they need to hear from people.
The bill passed out of the House committee on Thursday January 22nd and will go to the House floor for a vote soon, so send those letters!
