Warning to Inland Northwest DUers: DO NOT buy from Whispering Larch Farm

Whispering Larch Farm is a CSA who trades at the Sandpoint, Idaho, Farmers Market. It is owned by one Christopher Herndon.

He posts on the cdapress.com message boards as "StandforTruth."

He is EXTREMELY anti-gay...Matt McLaughlin, the California lawyer who filed the Shoot the Gays Initiative in California, has nothing on ol' Christopher. A couple days ago a high school student who is tired of being bullied over being gay wrote to my paper...you can read his letter here:

Ol' Christopher told him he needed to repent and God would take away the gay. Ugh.

He is also anti-abortion to an extent beyond that of rational man; one of his favorite things to do is to picket the "abortion mills" (his term) in Sandpoint. Since the closest Actual Abortion Clinic to Sandpoint is in Spokane, and the closest Idaho-based abortion clinic to Sandpoint is 423 miles south of Sandpoint (there are only three in all Idaho - one in Meridian, one in Boise and the third in Twin Falls) one may correctly ask what the hell he is doing. Well...he's picketing pharmacies. In his eyes, there is absolutely no difference between someone who stocks shelves at a drugstore that sells Plan B and Dr. George Tiller.

Now, it COULD be entertaining to go to the Sandpoint Farmers Market, look over the produce then tell him you can't buy anything as covered with hate as the shit in his booth...but it would cost me four gallons of gas to do so, and if I really wanted to use four gallons of gas it wouldn't be on that.
