Thank you for posting this video. Definitely food for thought. I had heard about raw milk in the past, but never really understood what benefits it might have. I will definitely be purchasing some raw milk in the near future to try.

Hi Laura!

That’s great! I do have one piece of advice though. I bough some raw milk, and it was sour two days later. So buy small containers, get the latest manufacturer’s date you can find on the shelf, and drink it quickly. It great stuff, but it doesn’t keep for very long.

Take care,
Tiffany

Great video! We’re very into clean and Organic, but I just havent been able to get the family to go raw when it comes to milk. So, we stick to Strauss Family Creamery organic and for now, it works pretty well. Maybe I’ll be able to find a more creative way to convert them now

Hi Michelle!

Maybe they’ll watch the video? Raw milk is really tasty. You just have to drink it quick before it goes sour. It doesn’t last as long as regular milk. But it’s still worth it in my book!

Good luck convincing the family! But until then, organic milk is good too.

Take care,
Tiffany

Hi there! Came across your blog through Janetha’s. I was so happy to see someone else who is excited about raw milk. Before the economy tanked that is what we drank regularly. Unfortunately our budget no longer allows for it but I think raw milk is great and hope we will be able to squeeze it back into our budget in the not so distant future!

Hi Jenn,

Ya, raw milk is expensive. Sometimes, I think it would be cheaper to have my own cow. lol. But in the end, it’s so worth it.
Thanks for stopping by!

I went to our local health food store this week and bought my first bottle of raw milk (thank you California). It was heavenly…that is what milk is supposed to taste like. I’m lactose intolerant, but didn’t have any problems with the raw milk. I’ve found that other states will allow you to purchase a cow-share to obtain raw milk since it’s illegal to sell it to the general public. It is expensive though, so for now it’s more of a treat, not a staple. Thanks for the tip about drinking it quickly!

Hi Laura!

That’s so great! It IS yummy! Makes me want to run out and buy a cow so I can have fresh milk all the time. Sad that it isn’t more main stream so it can be more affordable. But maybe in time…

Thanks for stopping by!

When my now 32 yo son was little I could buy state certified (PA) lab tested raw milk. But the old farmer passed away and his aging daughters couldn’t or wouldn’t keep on without him, so the land his farm was on is now shopping centers, restaurants and office buildings. Yeah, Joni Mitchell called it all right. Now I live in VA and it seems the powers that be have made it illegal to sell raw milk here. So maybe we need to get a cow, or sheep and goats to keep our chickens, ducks, geese, horses, dogs and cats company. Oh, yeah us and the kidlets, too.
For now we buy organic milk and Silk (the only soy milk I like at all-the others I couldn’t even force myself to swallow)

Hi Jody,

I know what you mean. If I had the land, I’d have a cow. We can get raw milk here, but it costs an arm and a leg and an ear. A cow would be the way to go!
