FOOD SUPPLY ATTACK: U.S. government raided and shutdown Golden Valley Farms, an independent meat producer in Virginia.
Samuel Fisher, owner of Golden Valley Farms, is being persecuted by the U.S. government all because his family raises their own animals, slaughters the meat on the farm, and sells that meat to the community.
Mr. Fisher raises and butchers his meat on site and sells it directly to his customers.
The Golden Valley Farms membership program allows individuals to own part of Fisher's herd of 100% grass-fed golden Guernsey cows.
Without warning, an inspector with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services paid Golden Valley Farms a visit on June 14th. That day, the government decided to penalize Mr. Fisher for selling meat that was not processed by a USDA-inspected facility.
His customers prompted Mr. Fisher to process the meat on the farm, without a USDA inspection.
Mr. Fisher's customers preferred that the meat be processed on site.
