This business model is explicitly allowed under PA law. I got one down the road from me. This isnt just a farm being raided for selling raw milk.
'The affidavit claims that Miller has not completed the application process through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for “registration, licensing, or permitting under the pertinent Retail Food Facility Safety Act, Food Safety Act, or Milk Sanitation Laws.”'
Maybe its just a pretense, but PA is very strict with this shit.
But Mcdonalds, Burger King, KFC et all are fine - i think tget need to tale another look at that "food" safety act
Well, this is clearly about compliance with state law, which according to the afidavit, he was not in compliance with. Why does everything need to be sensationalised? Right or wrong, busnesses have law and regulations they must adhere to in order to stay in business. Every type of business. This has exactly NOTHING to do with raw milk. I can walk to 3 places for it right now, one being public farm to consumer (his is private). Major grocery chains carry raw cheese. This guy had 37 items seized. Not even his whole stock. Hundreds of items left unseized. Read the whole article, not the sensatinalzed memes

The laws are in nature if milk is off dont drink it, we dont need 3rd party regulation especially when it is one law for thee and another for me. Anyway, the stuff they approve and class as legit is procssed toxic crap and it will kill people, eventually. Raw is best - senstational i know but its the truth
Start a business and dont file all required paperwork and see how long you are in business. Any business must do so or things like this happen. Do you not understand that part? This is not about raw milk. It is 100% legal for sale in PA. I live in PA. I buy raw milk all the time. From one of three places within walkng distance from me. Its readliy available all over the state. The article/afidavit clearly state he didnt file something that was required. Does this look like something that is hard to obtain in PA? Direct from the farm, just like his business, except this farm is open to all. The private food club is not even a necessary thing.

Curious, what fantasy word do you live in that you dont understand regulatory burden all businesses, no matter what the business does, must adhere to?
Dont take any of what I was saying to mean I agree with any of the regulatory bs. But shit is the way it is. And as I said previously I think, PA is really strict on licensure/permits/etc. We have great food freedom laws, but dont play games with the regulators. We have had raids strictly over raw dairy over the years, but those are headed by feds. This was a state thing only so I honestly have to believe the failed to file reasoning.
It is not fantasy to reject the notion that the states tentacles should be allowed to control and feed off every facet of our lives - Its sovereignity
I 100% agree, but reality is those tentacles do exist and businesses that want to stay in business have to play the game, by the rules. If this was any other business that did something similar, but didnt involve raw dairy, the story would have never been known. But everything needs to be twisted to fit a narrative these days so make it about nothing but raw milk. One of the photos in the article showed two jars of honey that were seized. Next so some other items that werent marked for seizure. Only taking 37 out of hundreds of items is not a raid to shut someone down. That is clearly looking for very specific things. And with the complaint from NY, its kinda something Dept Ag is required to look into. His business is still open. His website still online. This whole thing is just blown out of proportion.
All this raw dairy talk got me craving some so had to hit the store

😍now thats a fridge, no processed food in sight. You are going to live a long and healthy life my friend - kudos
I cheat now and again, but I dont keep it in the house. Make myself work for it. But yea for the most part, my food doesnt require ingredient lists and mostly local. I say quite often, I am truly blessed with the food access in my area. And honestly, the local stuff's prices are insanely low all things considered. Pay 5 and change per pound of ground beef and local eggs go from 4 to maybe 7 a dozen depending on the farm they from. That gallon was 5 bucks.
And if wondering what's in the mason jars, beef and pork/bacon fat from drippings that I save for cooking.
