Amos Miller says he is being persecuted by the federal government for practicing his religious freedom to raise and prepare food the way he believes God intended food to be raised and prepared – in accordance with nature.
Miller practices rotational grazing on his small, holistically managed, century-old farm in Bird-In-Hand Pennsylvania. His heritage-breed cows are raised on organic pastures, with the chickens following behind, eating the bugs from their droppings, and whey-fed pigs trampling all the fertilizer back into the ground behind them.
Around 4000 members of his private food buying club are dependent on his meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as fermented fruits and veggies… and are willing to spend top dollar to get it shipped to them all over the country, as they don’t trust food from the grocery store.
But last spring, a federal judge told Miller to cease and desist all meat sales, and sent armed U.S. marshals to search his property, farm store and freezers. They have taken inventory of all his meat, and now visit him every couple of months to make sure he hasn’t slaughtered or sold anymore animals until his ongoing court trial is settled.
Last summer, the judge also ordered Miller to pay $250,000 for “contempt of court,” and said he will also have to pay the salaries of the USDA investigators assigned to his case, which now adds up to more than $300,000, an amount that would put him out of business.
In May, the judge told Miller he had no right to represent himself in court after Miller attempted to fire his court-appointed attorney, whom he believed was not making any effort to defend him.
Miller has now taken the matter of whether or not he has a legal right to defend himself to the U.S. Appeals Court in Philadelphia, delaying his upcoming September district court hearing.

This is government overreach, lots of no preservative meat is sold in this country. The Government favors Organic only when they are getting their cut. Our Government has become organized crime.-OG
