Judge Fines Amish Farmer $250K and Threatens Jail Time for Providing Club Members Food They Want

August 29, 2021



A $250,000 fine should just nicely or almost put him out of business

Last month we brought you the story of another Amish farmer, Amos  Miller in Pennsylvania, who supplies healthy and ethical food to local  food clubs in the Northeast, and how the USDA was threatening to fine  him $250,000.00 for not complying with all their regulations, even  though he was not selling through the retail commodity food system, but  directly to consumers under contract through local food clubs. Again, this is NOT due to any complaint from his customers: those who  pay him to raise the food. This is about protecting Wall Street and Big  Food, and taking away any choices consumers have over how their food is  produced, and who they can buy it from. Amos Miller's Organic Farm   is our century-old Amish family farm in Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania –  serving its Private Member Association.

The farm raises its animals and  other pure foods the way nature intended and we are proud to be  entirely chemical, cruelty and GMO-free. The animals  are born and raised without antibiotics or hormones and they spend their  entire lives naturally and stress-free out on pasture...The farm is now under attack by the USDA about non-conforming  practices, the practices which pre-date the USDA. They are suing the  farm to comply with USDA laws, concerning the way the farm animals are  processed and how our food is labeled. The farm and its members believe  that we have the right of free assembly and the right to choose how our  food is processed and consumed without the USDA dictating to the farm.

Billionaires now own our farmland

Our Farmer,  Amos Miller, needs your help to preserve traditional farming the way God intended. In order to defend the way the farm has produced its pure foods for more than 100 years, Amos has to hire civil  rights attorneys to argue the farm's case in court against the army of  lawyers that the USDA are bringing to the courtroom. Amos and his family know that how the food is grown, raised and  processed has a direct connection to the health of the people who  consume it. We oppose cruelty in any shape or form.  Read more ...
