House fails to deliver Farm Bill Reform

Read the rest of Oxfam’s press release on the House of Representative’s late-night Thursday vote and weep.

But then dry your tears and brace yourself for next month’s efforts to bring some sanity to our food and farm policy in the Senate’s bill!

Until then, enjoy the local harvest of your nearby farmers and help build healthy local food economies through (most) every bite you take!!
