One of the perks of running my own business is having no one to tell me not to send a marketing email with the subject line "First of all, fuck ICE."

Here's the latest Milk Barn Farm email to our customers. I'm proud of it.

And, yeah, 20% off with the code: ICEOUT

Hey Derek – First of all, fuck ICE. I am the son of an immigrant. My dad was born in a camp in Austria to two people fleeing violence because of who they were. They waited in that camp for years after the war for a chance to come to America, because America was supposed to be different. But what’s happening here now is way too close to their story. People are being hunted and killed by masked federal agents because of who they are or what they look like. Our politicians are openly bigoted and sincere in their hatred of immigrants. I know you know all this already. And I know the purpose of this email is to send you a coupon. But I just had to say it because I want you to know the values of the farm you’re supporting. And if you’re angry and scared about what’s happening in this country right now, I wanted you to know you’re not alone. Remember there are more of us than there are of them. We will resist this together as friends and neighbors and family, just like Minneapolis. So here’s that coupon. We know money is tight for everyone and I bet we all could use a good night’s sleep right about now. Rest today so you can fight tomorrow. Hang in there. You are needed. ✨ 20% Off! ✨ Use code ICEOUT at checkout or click the button below to apply the discount to your cart.
