The Alternatives Exposition website is trying a new self-financing model. We have Google ads placed on the pages to bring in some revenue, but you can make the annoying Google ads go away, by subscribing to the site for a small $1/month subscription cost. (This is charged $3/quarter). Our goal is to bring in a minimum of $40 per month to pay for the web-hosting costs and webmaster support services. More than that is better, of course.

Just remember "Freedom isn't Free" and, if you enjoy what we do at the AltExpo, then please contribute financially through the website subscription.

Thanks for your support! As of this point, we only have 5 subscribers.

 

Co-op concerns

Some food chain concerns:

Recent history has several co-operatives being raided and harrassed. These problems seem to arise from sale of raw milk or accusations of retail sales to the public without a retail sales license. We intend to avoid those problems by the structure and style of our operations.

Raid at Manna Storehouse, Ohio (accused of retail sales without a license):
SWAT Team Like Raid by Ohio authorities on a farm house in LaGange
Raid on Family's Home and Organic Food Co-Op Challenged

Small farms issues:

These cases are suggestive of the need to have legal support.
