Not sure what the big deal is. If you sell a few ears of corn from your garden to a neighbor who feels you have a nice garden that they a comfortable with, why is raw milk any different? It is only different if I try to sell it in large amounts., If a Mom stops at a farm, sees the cows, the barn, the whole set up and then feels she is comfortable enough to drink a glass why complain? It should be her choice, its her family. If you dont want any than buy yours from the store. If you want FRESH milk stop and talk with your local farmers. The term RAW is just a word used in hopes of steering peoples opinions against the practice. I DO NOT sell fresh milk from my farm, but feel its not anyone, including a dairy farmer from many miles away to tell me I can not sell something I have produced on this farm. I drink it, my kids do, and have since they were pulled from my wives tattas. As my parents health was declining and the end looked near they asked for milk. The Doctors could not understand how my Dad on dialysis could get stronger, and even stop bi weekly treatments for 2 years.The only thing he changed was fresh milk, homemade butter, and cottage cheese. He did have to resume treatment for the last year of his life. Each to his own but I feel it is a healthy option for those who have access to it. If you want to see a true test take a jug of store milk and a jug of fresh milk and place them on your counter top.Leave them both sit for one week covered, but not refrigerated. The store milk most times will turn green and smell really bad. Fresh milk will separate and the water will go to the bottom and the solids will form a cheese on the top. It will smell like yogurt. Some people will eat the solids. I have tried it but do not like its taste. Good milk not only has bad bacteria, but also beneficial bacteria also. In healthy cows the good bacteria will out number the bad. This is what keeps her bag from turning to cheese while she walks around. After you milk her the good bugs kill off most if not all of the bad ones. Pasteurization was invented way BEFORE refrigeration. It was needed to stop milk from going bad. Today Fresh milk can last 3-5 days easy in a refrigerator. This is not even close to the shelf life of store milk. Heck I have seen ultra pasteurized milk that was non refrigerated. If it doesn't need to be cooled just how good is it for our bodies? Each to his own, just dont throw stones at someone because they drink, or provide it for someone else. Al
