Judith McGeary, the Executive Director of FARFA, is an attorney and small farmer. She has a B.S. in Biology from Stanford University and her J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. After a clerkship with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, she practiced as an attorney doing a combination of administrative law, litigation, and appeals. She and her husband live on a small farm outside of Austin, with Quarter Horses, cows, sheep, and heritage-breed chickens and turkeys. After seeing first-hand how government regulations benefit industrial agriculture at the expense of family farms, she became convinced that independent agriculture needed a voice. She quit her legal practice to form FARFA in April 2006 after the Texas Animal Health Commission proposed regulations to make premises registration mandatory in Texas. She and her husband are also active with Holistic Resource Management of Texas, the Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, and the Weston A. Price Foundation. http://farmandranchfreedom.org/content/ http://prisonplanet.tv/
