Save Sonoma County Family Farmers

Today, Sonoma County Family Farmers are under attack. A ballot measure is being proposed by an animal extremist group from Berkeley, CA, aimed to eliminate Sonoma County’s diverse animal agriculture production. If passed, the ballot measure could put multi-generational farming families out of business and as a result, the cost of dairy products, eggs, and poultry will increase significantly. Further, the proposed ballot measure will increase our greenhouse gas emissions since these products will have to be imported from other parts of our state, country or even other countries. The measure will cost taxpayers millions.

WHAT OUR SUPPORTERS SAY

Doug Beretta

“As a Clover Sonoma organic dairy producer certified by CCOF, I pride myself on creating the highest quality dairy products from livestock that are well-fed and ethically treated. My cattle largely graze on open pastures and live in a low-stress environment, but my dairy may still be considered a CAFO because we house our cows during the winter months to ensure the protection of water quality and other natural resources and bring them in to be milked twice per day. The proposed initiative would undermine our ability to maintain our sustainable operations and could put our multi-generational organic dairy out of business.”

Doug Beretta, Third Generation Owner, Beretta Family Organic Dairy
