Title: Farmers’ Markets Have New Unwelcome Guests: Fascists

In public they sell organic vegetables. In private they join white supremacist groups. Now activists are pushing back.

At Bloomington, Indiana’s weekend farmers' market, shoppers can stock up on kale, fresh eggs, homemade jams—and anti-Nazi accessories.

“Don’t Buy Veggies From Nazis,” read a pile of colorful buttons at a recent Saturday farmers’ market.

The buttons were a jab at Sarah Dye and Douglas Mackey, proprietors of Schooner Creek Farm, a vegetable farm. Like other unassuming stallholders at the market, Dye and Mackey sell eggs and seasonal vegetables.

But online, Dye is “Volkmom,” an active member of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa, according to leaked chat logs. “Volk” is a nod to the Nazis’ back-to-the-land völkisch movement.

“Any Whites who have spent time living in a neighborhood or attending a school with a non-white majority know the strife that Whites endure,” Dye wrote in an Identity Evropa chat in January. “I can attest to it myself.” She also wrote of trying to win over a family member by showing videos from a white supremacist channel.

After the couple’s connections came to light, Bloomington locals campaigned to oust the couple from their weekend stall at the city’s farmers’ market.

The farmers’ market face-off isn’t not the first of its kind. From Chicago to Sweden, farmers’ markets have become a surprising battleground between the far right and its opponents. The far right’s love of the markets plays into a larger fascist talking point that idealizes pastoral life and demonizes “degenerate” urban living. The contrast attempts to cast white supremacy as a purer alternative.

“A bunch of us have been passing out flyers at the farmers’ market to say ‘don’t put your money in white supremacy,’” Abby Ang, a Bloomington community organizer, told The Daily Beast.

Across hundreds of posts in chat rooms for Identity Evropa and other far-right groups, Dye discussed her dislike for living in areas that were not majority-white, and her search for “non-PC history books” to read to her homeschooled children, including a “history of the White race” by a former leader of a neo-Nazi group. Many of the posts were in a private chat room specifically for Identity Evropa members who have passed a vetting process.

Dye and Mackey did not return a request for comment, and have not spoken to media since Dye’s posts came to light, although they put out a fundraising call on their website. “We have recently been the target of radical leftists/extremists in their attempt to destroy our livelihood and reputation,” they claimed.

The couple has made contact with a pair of alleged extremists—but not on the left.

Last summer, another Indiana couple spray-painted Nazi flags on the side of a local synagogue and lit a fire nearby. (They originally planned to use Drano bombs to burn the entire building, prosecutors allege.) The couple were Nolan Brewer and his then-underage wife, dues-paying members of Identity Evropa, Brewer told an FBI agent in an interview. Brewer was recently convicted and sentenced in the incident.

Brewer told investigators that in the weeks after vandalizing the synagogue, he and his wife had dinner with other Identity Evropa members. Brewer only identified three by name: Mackey, Dye (whom he also identified as Volkmom), and someone named Steve.

“They’re extremely nice,” Brewer said of Dye and Mackey, according to the FBI.

White supremacists don’t always dress in Klan robes or jackboots. Some, like the set that orbits Identity Evropa (now renamed the American Identity Movement, likely to distance itself from involvement in 2017’s deadly Unite the Right rally), try to break into the mainstream with more wholesome outward appearances.

At least one prominent YouTuber who made videos about farming recently announced himself as a white supremacist.

“I've been far-right ethno-nationalist since about 2014,” ChuckE2009, told his more than 500,000 followers in a recent video, where he praised the man accused of murdering 51 people in a New Zealand mosque.

The phenomenon is international. Speaking to the New York Times about neo-Nazi recruitment in Sweden last year, scholar Helene Loow said Nordic Nazis make organic eating a cornerstone of their ideology.

That "movement" per se may not exist, but the sentiment grows ever larger with each passing day.

“Don’t Buy Veggies From Nazis,”

I wonder if they tie their shoelaces in little Nazis. ;)

unless one lives in an ethnically pure state.

That is what Hitler wanted to do under National Socialism. The great cream of The cream of Germany's young men were sacrificed on the Eastern Front among other places.

According to their doctrine you had to be at least 50% Aryan ancestry or you could not be a National Socialist.

Germany's pogroms (krystallnacht) against the Jews started because Herschel Grynszpan murdered the Deputy Ambassador to France in Paris. Ernst vom Rath just happened to be an anti-Nazi. ;)

After living in the hood, or diversityville for 9 years, I would buy whatever from whomever I chose. Because let me tell you. Being a white guy in the hood, I have been pushed and fucked with by lesser creatures and will no longer allow myself to be the victim of some social justice wannabes telling me who I can and cannot buy from or sell to.

It is okay to hate, so long as you hate the right people according to their ideology. Hate is still hate. I tried being kind to people and help people and found that it made me a fucking doormat in their eyes. Now, I teach people lessons in loss the second that I am fucked with.

My house was recently broken into by children coached by their parents. They beat my dog and killed a pet rabbit I had. Turning the other cheek is not a fucking option. I straight up hate everyone equally until they give me a reason to believe they are worthy of fair treatment. No matter what color or persuasion.

Is your plan for relocating still on schedule, I hope?

Not quite true. The war was engineered by the Jewish Communists of the Soviet Union, His Majesty's Jewish Government and Franklin Delano Van Rosenfeld to expand Jewish interests.

The SS had African members as well as 2 divisions of Hindus.

Actually I have sped up my time table. I am so fed up with society that the only way I see living in this country is to not be a part of it and only socialize with the people I choose on my own terms

How about this: don't sell any food to communists/Antifags/Progressives. Starve those bastards to death.

Excellent. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of small towns and communities below the Mason-Dixon line that would welcome you and your family.

Try south of Nashville. Safe areas. No state income tax. Max gun rights. Some counties are 96% white. Some 97%. Nashville has everything you might need. No big rivers and no flooding. Far enough away from New Madrid to escape the next quake if you have a wood frame home. NEVER live in brick or concrete block anywhere near a quake zone.

I expect Nationwide Food Riots and then a Civil War.

I expect a Grand Solar Minimum like the Maunder Minimum when wheat prices rose 400% in the UK. You will need to garden and have small animals. You will need to be below the 40th parallel.

Come to Texas. It’s easier here.

Remember the cry during the Revolution, "No King but King Jesus." ;)

I have a place in Arizona. Though Texas might actually suit me better.

Texas is not where you were born but a State of Heart, Mind and Attitude.
