On Dec 12, we release Farming on the Brink, a documentary focused on the exploding labor costs crushing our farms and hurting farmworker families who rely on those jobs. Politicians claim these costs help workers. The truth on the ground tells a different story.

The evidence is mounting: this legal attack on WA dairy farms was never about the environment. From paid bad science to backroom pressure and nitpicking over font colors—this is about power.

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the farmers who push through long days, tough weather, low prices, and relentless regulations to keep us fed. Your grit and stewardship inspire us every day. Thank you, farmers.

Lawmakers are finally acknowledging the huge pressures pushing WA family farms out of business, but acknowledgment isn’t action. With the 2026 session coming, it’s time to ACT to reduce burdens & protect WA’s food security. #PNW

The EPA’s “expert” against Yakima dairies? A Wisconsin professor who’s never set foot on a single farm here, but got $200K to say we’re polluting. That’s not science. That’s spin.
