A popular Amish farm that had been the subject of an armed raid by government officials on suspicion of selling “illegal milk,” among other products, is being sued by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
The farm has been ordered to halt all sales of its dairy products, inspiring widespread anger over what critics have called a blatant example of government overreach.
