not saying anyone is wrong...that pasturization thing has more to do with shelf life...back in the day things were a little hard to keep cool which is the best way to keep things from going bad for a longer time...you cut down the initial number of contaminates and you help things last longer...

I don't drink much milk...it all tastes bad to me! I do think it is cool to take the cream off and make butter...had an uncle that ran a dairy. The butter was great and all but the milk was still nasty

Good luck with finding a way to get some! Milking is great exercise though! Will make you a great wide reciever...everyone that I knew that milked cows had the strongest hands

Just thought I'd throw this out there...

Post on CRAIGSLIST.

I realized people couldn't post that they were selling milk, so I posted one LOOKING for raw milk. I got 5 replies in an hour for people VERY close by.

Yep! Yummy butter!!! And good for making icecream, too. Like I said, if I had space/time enough for a cow & could do it on my own, I would - in a heartbeat.

We have a goat, but she can't be bred (or rather, shouldn't be bred - she has a disease that she could pass on to her babies)...so we are considering a second goat...and I LOVE goat cheese!

Wonder what the laws are in Mass for raw milk??
Is there a site that would tell me?

minnesota birds wanted to see what the reaction would be. we were raised on raw milk, but we shipped our milk to a grade A bottling plant and got inspected ofted and you could not have hogs in the same lot as the cows and the milk had to arrive at the bottling plant at a certin temp. and much more. the inspectors were from the state and they were sharp people and you did not know when they were coming

i'm a fan of raw milk, but am very careful about who i buy from- cleanliness and knowledge are paramount. it's illegal where i live, but legal in neighboring pa. my plan is to get some dairy sheep and start making cheese. btw i think the strong flavor in pasteurized goat milk comes from the heat of the process. i posted about some of my experiences with raw milk here: http://www.babettesnjfeast.com/2009/08/raw-milk.html

If you do not see a farm very close to you, just ask the other ones, cause most run co-ops for distribution.
