Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Since the last time I was here, Saint 's Organic Farm in Emmett has been Grade A dairy certified and sells raw milk. I had the pleasure of helping out there during a recent lay off and enjoyed every minute of it. The dairy has been in the family for years and they are committed to sustainable, wholesome farming. They also provide organic, grass fed beef. Their website is www.saintjohnsorganicfarm.com. > Hi, > > I am a Californian writing on behalf of my sister who lives in > Ketchum, ID.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I can agree with that about pretty relaxed rules. We have a raw milk cow share program in Rigby, ID and are currently milking two guernsey cows and adding another next week. Through a cow share type of arrangement it's legal and nobody hassles you. There aren't very many people like us that do strictly raw milk but there are A LOT of grade B dairies all across Idaho especially in central Idaho. In my experience generally the Grade B dairies are smaller and not under such strict surveillance like a Grade A dairy is so they'd be more likely to sell it to someone so she could ask. Also, around here anyway (southeast Idaho), as a bonus most of the Grade B dairies are pasture based to a certain extent because it's cheaper and the cows produce more butterfat (which is how they're paid since the milks going to creameries). This is the contact info for the Weston A. Price chapter leader in that area She may have so good suggestions for where to start looking: Ketchum/Sun Valley: Bradshaw , leslie.bradshaw@... Anyway hopes that helps Kjersti in Idaho > > Idaho has very relaxed rules for raw milk.
