Durham area farmer and raw milk crusader Michael Schmidt is back in the news.
Schmidt was found not guilty last month of violating the Health Protection and Promotion Act.
But the Ontario government is now appealing that court ruling – and Schmidt says it’s a waste of time.
Schmidt says the government is “clutching at straws” after a justice of the peace ruled his cow-share program for raw milk consumers doesn’t violate the law.
The Ministry of Health raided Schmidt’s farm in 2006, resulting in a yearlong trial that ended last month with the acquittal.
