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.
That's very hurtful.
All I said was trying to bypass food safety laws to sell products to 4,000 non-Amish consumers isn't a religious freedom issue.
Do you think it is?
Yes it is.
Is being able to ignore laws in order to run a business a part of the Amish belief system?
It wasn't with the Amish I grew up with.
The Amish guy has a website and ships all over the country. I guess the website is run by the English and not delivered by buggy.
🎓
Yes it is.
You are an ass

WOW! You’ve now confirmed how right Amos would have been to kick your nosy butt off his property. Typical leftist, always prying into other people’s business. Just couldn’t keep your yap shut, trying to sneakily lecture the man about the need for the kid to have ear protection. All you ‘rat voters are disgusting, now go to your room and play with your favorite toy!
You should get a grip.
I’ve been to that mill many times.
I know the family - even take phone messages for them from time to time.
I wasn’t lecturing anyone.
My point is that the Amish make common sense decisions which sometimes run afoul of the local government.
And you really are an ass.
Read later.
So? The customers of this operation know exactly what they are getting. Screw the feral government and its sick minions.
Vegetable gardens are a great idea. But a supply of shelf stable foods to go with your vegetable garden is an even better idea.

I have a “prepper” friend in Florida who has cabinets jammed full of canned and other packaged foods, enough he says to keep him alive for three years! But when I grocery shop everything I look at has a shelf life that appears not to exceed two years, and often less than that. Also, here at home I sometimes find shelf foods my wife has bought that are beyond their expiration date! So I’m hesitant to stock up on shelf foods. On the other hand, I suppose eating “expired” food beats starving to death!
Miller is being persecuted by the FDA for selling food and milk “the way God intended.” They have told him to stop all sales, even to the members of his private club, and fined him $300K. Please help this American farmer survive. Donate at https://gofund.me/78e6fb0a
