Pete Kennedy is an attorney in Sarasota, Florida and serves as the President of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (www.farmtoconsumer.org) and Vice President of the Foundation. He works on dairy issues, particularly, the right of farmers to distribute raw milk and raw milk products direct to consumers. Each week he helps members of the Fund with cow- or goat-share operation start-ups. The Raw Milk Nation Map was derived from Pete’s compilation of the original state raw milk laws and state raw milk summaries posted at www.realmilk.com. He is currently working with others to challenge the federal ban on the interstate shipment of raw milk for human consumption [see information about the lawsuit against FDA, posted at www.farmtoconsumer.org/litigation-FDA.htm].

The Farm-to-Consumer Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization created to expand public awareness about sustainably farmed food, increase choices and access to local sources, and support small family farms growing and raising these foods. We do this through educational and charitable activities. Our education programs raise consumer awareness about the value of fresh, local and non-toxic farm-produced foods. We also teach farmers proactive strategies to avoid harassment by local, state and federal government interference with food production and on-farm processing.
