Seller of Raw Milk Gets a Raw Deal
By Bob Small
“Nothing heals the body and restores strength like raw milk”
—Dr. J. F. Lyman, Professor of Agricultural Chemistry, Ohio State University, 1929
“There is no question that pasteurization compromises the nutritional value of breast milk”.
Amos Miller, from Lancaster, Pa. has a private buying club, selling items to the public from various local farmers. This includes the aforementioned raw milk, which led to having his farm searched and property seized.
“Three Pennsylvania State Troopers and seven other individuals spent several hours inside a building on Amos Miller’s Lancaster County farm while conducting a search on Jan. 4, 2024, eventually leaving with multiple coolers containing Miller’s property. “
A search warrant had been issued the day before which included an affidavit of probable cause from the Pa. Dept. of Agriculture, Food Safety division.
US Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) said “With all of the problems in society today, this is what the government wants to focus on? A man growing food for informed customers, without participating in the industrial meat/milk complex.”
Another non-Pennsylvanian who commented was Donald Trump, Jr.
“Imagine what law enforcement could accomplish if they went after oh I don’t know, say, members of elite pedophile rings rather than farmers selling to their neighbors???” he posted on X.
Additionally, there a lot of “alleged and implications” in this story. This is a quote from Miller’s attorney, Robert Barnes “Today, the Department of Agriculture of the State of Pennsylvania suddenly came, without notice, raided Amos’ farm, and detained everything Amos had in the farm’s freezer. They did so in a lawless manner, without appropriate authority, in violation of their own rules and regulations, despite never objecting to the prior resolutions reached with the federal government, and despite a complete failure by the state to even reach out to Amos’ known counsel.”
For their part, the State alleges that Amos Miller has steadfastly refused to cooperate with their regulations. GOP State Rep David Zimmerman, who represents the 99th District in Lancaster said that there’s a fine line between individual freedom and government responsibility and said the Miller case is happening at a time of “so little trust in government”.
Disclaimer. My wife and I have been raw milk consumers for decades.

Still think you’re free?
When the government can regulate a private transaction between two consenting parties, and break their own rules with impunity, fully aware of nothing and no-one to stop them from doing it, YOU ARE NOT FREE….
