Government intervention challenged by farm owner as Virginia Health Department drops legal action over raw milk sales
Triple Oaks Farm Defends Raw Milk Sales Amidst Dropped Lawsuit
In Campbell County, Virginia, Triple Oaks Farm, a private membership association, continues to operate amidst controversy over the sale of raw milk. The farm's owner, Bryson Lipscomb, has been vocal in his defence of the farm's practices, claiming that the milk is tested every 48 hours to ensure its safety and that the farm has an open-door, fully transparent policy, allowing customers to visit during the milking process.
The farm's operations have been under scrutiny following a lawsuit filed by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), which accused Triple Oaks Farm of selling raw milk to the public. However, Lipscomb vehemently denies this claim, stating that the farm operates solely for its members. He believes the lawsuit was a violation of their constitutional rights, as the farm's status as a private membership association exempts it from public sales regulations.
Despite the legal challenges, Triple Oaks Farm plans to continue its operations without interruption, providing pastured beef, pork, and raw milk to its members. Lipscomb encourages everyone to know exactly where their food is coming from and stands firm in his belief that the milk sold by Triple Oaks Farm is completely safe.
In a surprising turn of events, the lawsuit filed against Triple Oaks Farm by the VDH was dropped before it went to court. The Attorney General's office declined to comment on the ongoing investigation related to the lawsuit. The only entity that has expressed concern about raw milk is the Virginia Department of Health.
However, no comments or concerns about the safety of the raw milk sold by Triple Oaks Farm have been made, according to the text. This lack of criticism, combined with the farm's rigorous testing and transparency policies, seems to indicate that Triple Oaks Farm's raw milk is indeed safe for consumption.
Triple Oaks Farm's goal is sustainable living off the land, and Lipscomb's dedication to this ideal is evident in the farm's operations. As the farm continues to provide its members with raw milk and other farm products, the controversy surrounding its practices serves as a reminder of the ongoing debate over the safety and legality of raw milk sales.
