In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Sadie Howard and Mark Nelson of Hippie Cow Creamery in Cody, Wyoming, to share their unexpected journey from family farm to food freedom advocates. What started as a simple decision to provide healthier food for their family quickly grew into a thriving business—selling raw milk, homemade goods, and popular raw milk lattes under Wyoming’s Food Freedom Act. But their success attracted scrutiny, leading to a surprising visit from a health inspector—one who, as it turns out, should never have been there in the first place. After being told they needed a license that would actually strip them of their legal protections, Sadie and Mark pushed back. With help from advocates and lawmakers, they’re now working to clarify the law and protect food freedom for others across the state. This episode highlights how a small business, a questionable complaint, and government overreach sparked a larger fight for personal choice—and why even something as simple as a latte can become a battle for freedom.
