Hi everyone,

My name is Lammert and my e-mail address is

l_lammert@.... I reside in Peoria County, Illinois with my

husband and a Siamese cat. I am a raw milk consumer and am fortunate

that I live in a state where raw milk sale is legal, if you provide

your own container for the milk and go to the place where milk is

available.

Before I started drinking raw milk, I was never a big milk drinker.

The only time I drank milk was in eating cereal, oatmeal, or when I

ate a piece of cake or cookies. Since I gave up sweets in general, I

was hardy drinking milk at all. When I read about the health

benefits of raw milk and found out that I could get some raw milk, I

started purchasing and drinking a gallon of raw milk weekly in

September of 2007. There is nothing that taste better than a glass

of fresh raw milk. Because I am the only one in the family that

drinks the milk, I also make yogurt from raw milk and made butter

whenever the cream is abundant in the milk. In the beginning, I

didn't know if a gallon of milk was going to be too much for me but

since I use part of the milk to make other foods, I find that I could

use more than a gallon a week at times. I have also tried making my

own cheese from raw milk and will probably continue to pursue this

avenue to perfect the consistency and taste of cheese made with raw

milk.

How did I find out about raw milk and where I can get it? Well, in

talking with a circle of people I know who are into healthy life

style and organic foods, one of the girls that sell organic cosmetics

told me about a farmer who raises organic beef for sale and where I

could get raw milk. I knew this information was coming to me at the

right time because my interest in raw milk was picking up speed after

reading articles on raw milk. I am forever grateful for the circle

of friends I have developed from attending health expos.

I am looking forward to being a member of the raw dairy group and

hope to participate in some of the group discussion.

Lammert
