In a shocking display of government overreach, the Virginia Department of Agriculture (VDAC) launched a full-scale attack on Samuel B. Fisher and his Golden Valley Farms. This mild-mannered cattle farmer, just trying to make an honest living, was targeted by the state for selling meat that was not processed by a USDA-inspected facility. Can you believe it? Fisher processes his own meat on-site and sells it directly to his customers. But apparently, in the eyes of the big bad government, that’s a crime.
The state didn’t stop at just inspecting Fisher’s farm. Oh no, they raided every nook and cranny, searching for any little thing they could use against him. They even slapped a tag on Fisher’s walk-in freezer, essentially declaring that he couldn’t feed his family with his own meat. Well, let me tell you something, folks. This is America. Samuel B. Fisher has every right to feed his own family with his own meat. It’s his property, his hard work, and his choice.
But the government didn’t stop there. They dragged Fisher to court and seized his products. They even charged him with violating state law and forced him to pay a fine. Can you believe the audacity of these bureaucrats? It’s clear that they have nothing better to do than go after hardworking Americans like Fisher, who are just trying to provide for their families and serve their communities.
Big Government Has Come for This Small-Town Amish Farmer. Here's How He's Fighting Back. https://t.co/7drvhfRn66

But here’s the real kicker, folks. Fisher’s meat is top-notch. Customers rave about its quality and claim that it has improved their health. You see, Fisher raises his cows on a 100% grass-fed diet, ensuring that his customers get the best possible product. Compare that to the mass-produced, preservative-laden meat you find at big-box retailers. Fisher cares about what goes into his meat, and he wants his customers to know exactly where their food comes from.
Unfortunately, the government doesn’t seem to care about quality or the rights of hardworking farmers like Fisher. They’re more interested in flexing their muscle and imposing their regulations on anyone who dares to go against the status quo. But I’ve got news for them. This is America, and we value our freedom and our ability to make choices for ourselves. Samuel B. Fisher is a prime example of the American spirit, and we should all stand behind him and support his fight against government overreach.
So, the next time you’re at the store, take a moment to think about where your food comes from. Consider supporting local farmers like Fisher, who are working hard to provide you with the best possible products. And remember, we must never let the heavy hand of big government crush the spirit of hardworking Americans who are just trying to make an honest living.
