I recognize that members of Golden Gallon Acres exercise their right to “freedom of association” as guaranteed by the 1st and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various State Constitutions. This means that our Association activities are restricted to the private domain only.

The purpose of this Association is to allow members free and independent choice of nutrient dense diet and natural health through products and services offered by fellow members. The Association strives to provide healthy food choices and the most effective means of delivery of these foods at an affordable fee. More specifically, the Association specializes in raw milk products and grass fed / pastured meats which are offered as alternatives to other, more processed types of food as a service and benefit to members.

THEREFORE the following principles apply to all my involvement in the Association:
- Products and services are supplied by fellow members of the Association and done so in the capacity of a fellow, private member and not in the capacity of a licensed wholesaler, retailer, or provider.

- Within the Association, no wholesaler / retailer / provider and customer relationships exist. Rather, only a contract member to member relationship exists.

- My involvement in the Association is not one of customer / consumer, but as a member receiving goods/services from other members. I agree to recognize the farm owner, Aaron Fisher, as a fellow member whom I entrust as most qualified to provide the products and services of the farm due to his experience and skill. I recognize I am not a customer of the farm, but a member of the farm’s Association.

- It is entirely my own responsibility to consider the recommendations, services, and products offered to me by fellow members and to educate myself as to the efficacy, risks, and desirability of the same.

- Any request made by me to a fellow member to assist me or provide me with recommendations, services, or products is my own free decision in an exercise of my rights and made by me for my benefit and I agree to hold other members of the Association, including the farm owner and staff, harmless from any unintentional liability for the results of such recommendations, services, or products except for harm from instances of a clear and present danger of substantive evil as defined by the United States Supreme Court.

- I understand that since the Association is protected by the 1st nd 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State Agencies and Authorities concerning any and all complaints or grievances against the Association or any of its members including the farm owner and staff. Because the privacy and security of membership records maintained within the Association, which have been held inviolate by the U.S. Supreme Court, I waive any and all legal complaint process. I agree that violation of any waivers in this membership contract will result in a contest legal proceeding against me.

- All rights of complaints or grievances will be settled by an Association Committee including the farm owner and fellow members.

- The Association does not participate in any insurance plans.

- As a member, I accept the goal of helping my body function better and choosing food products that are very safe, realizing that no product testing is foolproof. Other aspects of informed consent will take place in my discussions with fellow members of the Association who provide recommendations, products, or services.

- My activities with the Association are a private matter which I refuse to share with the State Medical Board(s), the FDA, FTC, State Milk Board(s), USDA, Agricultural Board(s), and any other government agency without express Association permission. All records and documents remain as property of the Association, even if I receive a copy of them.

- I fully agree not to file a liability lawsuit against a fellow member of the Association unless that member exposed me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil. I acknowledge that the members of the Association do not carry liability insurance.

- I affirm I do not represent any State of Federal agency whose purpose is to regulate and approve products.

- I understand that the membership fee ($25) entitles me to receive the benefit of lifetime access to recommendations, products, and services as offered by members of the Association with “lifetime” meaning the lifetime of the membership Association, said term beginning with the signing of this contract.

- I understand that upon payment for any product, said product is now my sole property even before it has been shipped from the farm. Therefore, product in transit is my responsibility as it is my property.

The Association will recognize any person (irrespective of race, ethnicity, or religion) who is in accordance with these principles and the purpose of the Association and has paid their dues in full as a member and will provide a medium through which its individual members may associate for actuating and bringing to fruition the purposes of the Association.

I hereby certify, attest, and warrant that I have carefully read the above Golden Gallon Acres Membership Contract and I fully understand and agree with the same. I enter into this agreement of my own free will without any pressure or promise of any recommendations, products, or services. I understand that I can withdraw from this agreement and terminate my membership in this Association at any time. This contract consists of the entire agreement for my membership in the Association and supersedes any previous agreement.
