FDA raids Amish Farm

We love our Raw Milk. It's one of our benefits of being a farmer. We drink the milk, make yogurt, cheese, buttermilk, kefir, ice cream and our critters get lots of the kefir and the buttermilk.....Even the kefir "wash" has healing powers. It cleans wound sites where I'm getting scratched better than hydrogen peroxide which kills the germs but also the skin tissue. Now I use the kefir after soap and water and put raw honey over the wound,,,, in 3 days I'm healed and it used to take me 2 weeks the old way of cleaning and healing up..

We thrive with raw milk.....We finally got a pet food license this year so the pets can enjoy the milk....In GA, it's not legal for humans to buy raw milk for themselves.

It is a shame that I have to put a warning sign on the milk we sell. There was an attempt in GA legislature this year to make it "legal" for milk to be sold for human use. As a child growing up in Atlanta, we had unpasteurized milk from a very large dairy. Then all of the sudden they quit having it available ..... I could no longer tolerate milk after the change.

It hurts me to the core That our farm must put a Warning label on our milk but we comply fully with the law. I disagree with everything it says. So if you need pet quality milk, we finally decided we need to be able to make it available to others.

It is a travesty what happened in the Amish community..... So sad. I quote "Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field." Dwight D. Eisenhower ...............Interesting, maybe there was too much pencil pushing here and not enough knowledge and information.

Raw milk is the only real milk there is..............If folks need to find raw milk, there are several resources online for finding farms and I'll be glad to share those sites with you. Interesting thread..

Have a blessed day. I do believe that we should be responsible for what we consume for our health!
 
Did you know that a whopping 60% of our nation can no longer digest milk? Pasturized milk, that is....
 
WoW! Great thread, very educational

I agree.
How lucky am I .... I found an Amish family locally that I am able to buy a gallon of whole milk from for $2.50 a gallon. I just made my first purchase, thanks, in part, to this thread. I grew up on an acreage, with my self sufficient family. We were all very healthy, and 95% of our diet was home grown. We always had a couple cows and a few goats for milk, cream, butter, and ice cream. (I don't recall making cheese) We butchered our own beef, pork, and chicken, and always had a couple deep freezers full of meat and vegetables. Oh, how I miss those days ......

Thanks for this thread, Paula.
 
I so desperatly want to find where I can buy raw milk here in sw Ontario... ever since Michael Schmidt was arrested they have really gone underground which is to bad... because it all comes down to a matter of choice and someone has taken that freedom away.

Does your state require charcoal be added to that "pet" milk?

No they don't require charcoal to be added to the "pet milk" ......They were proposing RED FOOD dye a few years ago and thank goodness there was an outcry on that....So that was dropped.

Enjoy!
 
While I agree that raw milk is a healthier alternative and easier to digest for most, it's inaccurate to state that pasteurized milk causes lactose intolerance.
The lactase operon is genetic, it is something that you either have or don't have

I'm (im)patiently waiting for the day when we have a bit of pasture so I can have some goaties for all the raw milk and cheese we can gobble!
