@RealFoodRights

The Real Food Rights coalition supports local farm-to-consumer ecosystems, involving direct relationships between communities and small, independent, and family farmers, as the best way to uphold the highest food quality and food safety standards.

We educate the public about the benefits of Real Food and about our fundamental right to choose fresh, nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods, including raw milk and other non-pasteurized and non-irradiated foods. We lead social actions that direct the FDA, USDA and Congress to protect our right to obtain and eat Real Foods.
