Bob; there's technically a 'raw milk license' in PA, but anyone who has one will tell you that they are harassed beyond belief by the PDA. People doing 'cow shate' (where other people don't buy the milk, but buy a share of the cow) are regularly dragged into court. I don't know if they win or not, but who wants to live that way? Their plan is working.They have been concentrating in the last few months (actually, now that I think of it, probably close to a year ) on a Mark Nolt, Amish guy (Beachy or one of those groups, but Amish) somewhere south or southwest of Harrisburg. They've raided him at least twice, hauled him off to jail, and hauled off tens of thousands of dollars' worth of cheeses, other product, and equipment, which so far has magically been replaced (as well as some pretty hefty fines paid), in support, by Amish groups, both his own and others. As far as I know that whole this is stalemated in that stage.
