BIRD IN HAND, Pa. — A Lancaster County farmer is facing fines and possible jail time for repeatedly violating food safety laws.
U.S. District Judge Edward G. Smith, Jr. found Amos Miller in contempt of court for violating a 2020 consent decree and ordered him to pay $250,000 in fines, plus an additional $14,436 to cover enforcement costs.
Miller owns Miller’s Organic Farm in Bird-In-Hand, which sells beef, chicken and other meat, as well as raw milk. The farm has been tangling with federal authorities for several years over its food handling practices.
