As you heard in the show, when we had to leave Piscataway, at 4pm on that July 10, the authorities had not yet arrived. So we asked Clara Halper, now a former co-owner of Cornell Farms, for an update, which we received on August 1:

I was unable to get to a computer as we were thrown out of our home with no place to go. In addition, McKirdy our lawyer told us to keep moving out because anything we left behind would be charged to us. We gave our lawyer the notice that we would need entrance on Thursday and Friday between 9 and 5. On Thursday, the judge ruled that we needed to pay them $4,000 a night retroactive to Monday.

Additionally, a neighbor who helped us by letting us park some of our equipment on his property is being hauled into court now. The town is horrible!

We went back to the farm on Friday morning only to witness from across the street the town boarding up our house! My little 8-year-old couldn't bear her home being taken. She sat down on the sidewalk and cried.

They finally let us in after 2pm. After 3, the town lawyer came to bully us more to leave by 4 rather than 5. We were drenched from head to toe moving whatever we could in the pouring rain. You tell me how would you feel?

At four minutes to 4, a cop pulls up next to me and dictates that we have four minutes to get off the property or there will be trouble. And if we do anything funny, we will be in trouble! About one minute later another Gestapo cop pulls up on the other side of me to intimidate me -- just a part of the pattern and practice of the Piscataway police department.

I am sure the taxpayers want their money spent this way.

So the exit was horrendous, and we had to leave a lot of belongings and equipment on the farm. And now we have no home or business. Our children's college fund is wiped out and we have no pension. We are like nomads wandering in search of a home.

So much for the American dream!
