The Farmers and their representatives met with the Sheriffs Department today concerning the eviction of the farmers. The deputy chief told them that they had received the eviction and they could not stop the eviction from going forward.

The eviciton could happen at any time.

We are asking the community to please increase their presence and support at the farm.

We have volunteer shifts as indicated below. You can coordinate through the email provided or on site at the Farm. We would like you to commit to 2-3 hours for as many days as you can (more hours are welcomed and you are also welcomed to spend the night). We want to save the Farm, but we cannot do it without you. Please choose one of the following shifts (you can choose more than one). If you cannot commit to a whole shift, any help is appreciated.

The Struggle Continues...

False alarms from the farm need to stop. Ahora!

No. There is no way to know exactly what the Sheriffs are gong to do.

Lawyers met with the sheriffs Thursday and they made it clear the eviction would come today or tomorrow.

Let's say the pigs don't come Sat.

Is that a false alarm?

No, the alarm is real enough, and there is no way around the cat and mouse game the police are playing except never to issue a call until the eviction is underway - but by then it's too late.

Maybe that suits you.

It doesn't suit me
