Farmers are under pressure from regulations and draconian legislation that restricts their ability to farm, their right to grow, package, sell, consume, store and distribute food. At fu:d, we educate farmers on how they can protect those rights, as upheld by Canadian and American supreme court decisions, by creating a PMA.

What’s a P.M.A.? P.M.A. stands for Private Members Association. Think of it as an exclusive club with a purpose, upheld by both Canadian and American Supreme Court rulings. It is an association of individuals or businesses who come together to achieve a common goal—in the case of farmers, the preservation of quality, growth, storage, distribution, commerce and abundance of food and water, free from government interference.

Does it work? Yes, if properly created. The Amish have found huge success with PMA's to sell raw milk, eggs and more. We can suggest many PMA creators. One in particular offers lifetime support and has over 50 years experience. PMA's don't just work great for farming communities, but also, fitness centers, schools and more.

Lifetime Support. After you make the PMA, and you have an issue with a regulatory agency, you receive lifetime assitance and support, as to what documents you need to submit to resolve the offending issue. This firm is not a law firm, so they can't represent you in court, but they can give you past supreme court rulings, and let you know what documents to use, to address your situation, for your lawyer, or you, to use in court, or to stop the request from even going to court.

What if I already am involved in a legal or regulatory issue? A PMA can also be created for a business doing business in the public, to now conduct business in the private, and current regulatory issues, can also disappear.

A PMA (Private Membership Association) is an unincorporated private member organization—a form of business established in the private domain by a private membership contract, as opposed to public domain entities such as LLCs, S-Corporations, or C-Corporations, NGO's or non-profits. In the private domain, when operating by private contract with private members only—and not with the general public—your private association’s business activities, and even your membership rolls, are confidential. These activities are not subject to the same rules and regulations that have been established to protect the public. (You may want to read that again)

Whether it’s sharing resources, promoting a cause, or simply enjoying the benefits of collective bargaining power. It operates under a unique set of rules and regulations. They’re governed by their own internal agreements and bylaws, providing flexibility and autonomy that traditional structures might not offer.

What are some examples of a PMA? Clubs where drinking or smoking is allowed—where the sale of alcohol to the public was restricted or illegal—are great examples. Drinking or smoking may be allowed inside "private clubs" or "golf clubs" because these are not open to the public. Membership is restricted, and only private rules apply among their members. Other examples include the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, the Hells Angels, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the American Medical Association, and BAR Associations, and more. These organizations follow their own internal rules, not public law.

So, if 5 years ago, during the mandates, businesses and people had simply created a PMA, closed their doors to the public, and opened them to their private members only, then no restaurant, fitness center, church, school, or health practitioner (the list goes on) would have been required to enforce mask-wearing, social distancing, or vaccination. I know, it’s baffling—but now that you know, what are you going to do about it?

With a PMA a farmer, hobbyist, grocer, health food store, butcher, dairy provider, can simply creat a PMA, and invite their customers to become a paid private members of their association. Under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution—and under Canadian law—one have the right to organize, conduct commerse and gather with fellow members with their private association, offer customized PMA benefits and services as described in their articles of association, and do business outside the jurisdiction, venue, and authority of provincial, state, and federal agencies.

What could typically fall under legal scrutiny—and in some extreme cases be considered a criminal act if conducted without a private association—can be legal if such activities are carried out within the protection of a PMA and among its private members. Although the services of a private association may be controversial, unconventional, or lack formal endorsements and approvals, the Supreme Court has overwhelmingly ruled that our freedom of assembly and association cannot be violated.

This is not limited to just a farm-to-table operation or business. You can start your own PMA and operate a health and wellness clinic, or a business in financial services, legal services, homeschooling, education, or any other field—with the same peace of mind and legal protections to practice your chosen field within a PMA, without interference or sanctions from public regulatory entities.
