Let me explain what the #AmosMiller case is about after a court conference. The @PAAgriculture claims ALL food is "illegal" -- as illegal as illegal drugs -- unless it was made by a government-approved facility, and they can destroy it at will. See brief:https://t.co/FXvjc1yJmP

Need more info.

If you're producing strictly for yourself, government should stay out of it.

If you're selling to others, that's a different story.

There are unique situations like the Amish that provide for their community. They don't ask for government assistance, and the government needs to stay out of their business.

Edit: government needs to stay out of local farmers markets too. And local lemonade stands. I guess the key word is "local."

Something doesn't add up. Of all the Amish communities that sell/share food, why this one?

Even if you're selling to others, govt can go F itself.

Lol, I appreciate the FDA for the food I buy that's mass-produced and sold in the grocery store.

Not interested in e coli, listeria, botulism, and you name it.

Local producers however, a different game... "caveat emptor"

That's because those idiots didn't follow FDA requirements!

Sounds to me like the government is trying to criminalize all food production outside of approved government processing facilities. This is the final stage of a long war by Big Ag Food Processors and their government puppets to destroy family farms and wholesome food production.

An order by state Judge Thomas Sponaugie grants the request of the Pennsylvania Attorney General, who has a pending civil action before the court, to permanently prevent Miller and his business enterprises from selling unpasteurized, raw milk and unregulated products because he is endangering public health....

Miller further must notify his customers that his products were traced to two recent foodborne illnesses. Further, the judge ordered him to notify his customers that raw milk collected from Miller's farm on Jan. 4 under a search warrant tested positive for Listeria...+

Miller was last a defendant in a federal civil action brought after 2016 by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on behalf of USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The federal citation ended with Miller and his attorney signing a lengthy Consent Decree 2023 that promises compliance with food safety laws.

Miller's raw milk in 2016 was found to be genetically similar to the bacteria in two listeriosis cases, including a death case.

For a time in federal court, Miller claimed he was not subject to federal jurisdiction because he was a "sovereign citizen."

Miller recently wrote on his current fund-raising website: "It has been a challenging month here at the farm. We are currently not allowed to sell any raw dairy products, and it breaks our hearts that the state of Pennsylvania is forcing us to turn so many of you away when you beg us for the food you depend on for your health.

Also, this poor Amish farmer is using a GoFundMe website, and has raised about $700,000

I read his web site a bit, it appears that they are trying to skirt the regulations by selling to "members only", sort of like our local dairy who sold "shares" of cows.
