Amos Miller, the farm's owner, contends that he’s preparing food the way God intended — but the United States government doesn’t see things that way.
Miller's Organic Farm, located in the remote Amish village of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, has been around for almost 30 years.
The farm supplies everything from grass-fed beef and cheese, to raw milk and organic eggs, to dairy from grass-fed water buffalo and all types of produce, all to roughly 4,000 private food club members who pay top dollar for high quality whole food.
The private food club members appreciate their freedom to get food from an independent farmer that isn’t processing his meat and dairy at U.S. Department of Agriculture facilities, which mandates that food be prepared in ways that Miller’s Organic Farm believe make it less nutritious.
Amos Miller, the farm's owner, contends that he’s preparing food the way God intended — but the U.S. government doesn’t see things that way.
They recently sent armed federal agents to the farm and demanded he cease operations. The government is also looking to issue more than $300,000 in fines — a request so steep, it would put the farm out of business.
This is an attack on Amish religious freedom just 150 miles from Washington D.C.
Making it even more independent, Miller’s farm also doesn’t use gasoline or fertilizer, and therefore the war between Ukraine and Russia isn’t affecting his bottom line, unlike every other farming competitor in the country.
Miller isn't dependent on big industry players or the government, and he’s providing healthy food to his community the way he believes God intended. The government is trying to intimidate his operation and shut it down.
If you believe the Amish should have the right to exercise their religious beliefs and their ability to provide healthy food to their community, sign our petition at LeaveThemAlone.com and I’ll personally deliver it to the U.S. Federal Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania.
There was a 20 something kid working the mill with no hearing protection- when I asked about they said he was born deaf so we put him to work here.

There was probably a church service that evening so they could pray that they never see you again!
there’s far more to this than a few hundred gallons of milk.

Of course. It’s how tyrants enslave the peasants. Been that way for thousands of years!
Seriously? What an absurd comment.
Maybe the Feds just want to control every facet of your existence.

No ifs, ands, or butts about it!
Interesting thank you

Everyone who thinks about donating to GoFundMe should be aware that they’re ultra lib, and WILL take the funds you donate and distribute the money to other accounts they like. (They did this with the truckers convoy.)
If there’s a GiveSendGo account, they’re conservative.
I know and you’d think givesendgo being Christian based, would be a perfect fit for an Amish guy but I guess it’s not as well known
He would have to use a computer to do the type of record keeping that fedgov wants but he shuns new technology like computers.

People are beginning to realize that the Internet is being used coercively to control how one communicates with government and business organizations to the exclusion of any other alternative.
You have your emergency supply, the poor get fed, and if you were already contributing to your local food bank anyway, it cost you nothing.

Too complicated. Just plant a small vegetable garden and buy some chickens and a couple of rabbits (males and females, of course!)

Ya think?
I truly despise our government.

You, me, and tens of millions of others! Free people need to come up with a way to chain it like a junkyard dog, and SOON!
And don’t ever save yourself with good voting!

We tried that in 2020. Didn’t work.
why are seat belts required against the users will, while weed is allowed?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They aren’t required on school buses or public transit!
Every rule written by every agency needs to be eliminated, and the responsibility sent back to congress

President Trump was making some headway to get that done, which is one of the reasons the Deep State sanctioned widespread lawlessness to ensure the theft of the election to put that Jackass from Delaware in the White House.
It’s a shame some here are scared to use the word Negro, yet attack those not able to defend themselves.
Not funny.

Lighten up Torino, I haven’t noticed anyone on FR attacking the Amish.
Nonsense. He is supplying a private club of members who want what he is selling. “Everyone else” is too broad a term. The feds should start worrying about the possible contamination in gay bathhouses, greasy bar’n’grills, roaming ice cream trucks, curbside food vendors and junk-food manufacturers before they hit an Amish farm.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Well and truly said and every word of it! I buy Amish produce and meat all the time and have never had a problem with them or their products. Two words to always throw at Government bureaucrats: GO AWAY!
You will eat what’s put in front of you and like it. Peasant.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
News out recently is that what they’re planning to put in front of us are food products containing ground up crickets and cockroaches! This is not a joke!
Seriously? What an absurd comment.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
No, what was absurd is that you went there to buy lumber and then stuck your nose where it didn’t belong. I would have declined to sell you what you came for and demanded you get the hell off my property!
Aw, sulk elsewhere because your sneering dismissal is not popular on this thread.
