It's a bit more complicated than the FDA going after him just for selling raw milk. They're going after him in part because he processes the meat on his farm instead of sending it to an FDA-Approved processor*. The FDA got all pissy and shut him down, told him to destroy all the food he was selling; he couldn't even feed it to his family or dogs.
Miller basically said fuck that and continued processing and selling his meat and milk to people who wanted it. As you can imagine, that pissed the FDA off even more.
*The FDA requires processors spray some sort of preservative onto the meat they process in order to become FDA-Approved.
I believe sales of raw milk is legal in PA, as long as you have a permit. Might be busting him for no permit.
