The Ontario Landowners Association decided by a vote of its Board of Directors to support Michael Schmidt in his pursuit of the freedom to choose to drink raw milk. The vote was carried by a strong majority on January 31, 2009. Michael houses, feeds and milks his customers cows and delivers their milk to them. This is his customers’ choice.

 This decision to do “what is right” came after much soul searching and rethinking by many OLA members about the core values of the OLA. I encourage OLA members to show their support for Michael Schmidt by attending court with Michael at 9.00 A.M. on wednesday Feb. 4 in Newmarket. I will be there. Address: Court House, 465 Davis Drive – east of Yonge St., Newmarket. At the Tannery Building 2nd floor.
