Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 today Oil around $130 barrel ... raw milk at $461 per barrel with Congress soaking up the debt for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I predict easily 200$ per barrel for oil by Xmass. What are you going to be charging for REAL MILK then? you cannot even produce raw milk for $3 per gallon ... so why give it away to folks who make that much in ten minutes at their city job? ------------------------ > > > Subject: Raw milk pricing > To: RawDairy > Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 9:48 PM > > > > > > > I have been milking my little Dexter cow for about a year, now.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I live in Australia, and we use litres here, rather than gallons, but I am pretty sure 4 litres is approx 1 gallon. I pay 70c per litre, or $2.40 per gallon, in Australian dollars. According to the exchange rate, there isn't much difference btween AUD and USD at the moment, maybe a few cents, so maybe I am paying about $2.50US per gallon.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 >Not sure where your located, (I'm in Florida) but when I first started buying a few years ago, I paid $12/gallon, then when we started milking our own cow, I sold our excess for $10/gallon. Because we are now waiting for our cows to calve, we are paying (the same farmer) $14/gallon. I will say from experience, that with all the time and effort that went into milking and cleaning the milker, filtering, and doing this everyday, no matter what else comes along, the $10/gallon that I charged for my extra milk was in no way " making a living " it was barely getting by. So, moral to my story, perfect raw milk is worth every penny of the $14/gallon that I pay now. And whatever you choose to charge, make it worth your time. I NEVER had milk that I had to throw away, people were knocking down my door to get it. And I NEVER advertised in any way, it was all word of mouth. > > In a message dated 7/21/2008 10:47:28 P.M.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 It’s interesting, I was called recently by a reporter for a local newspaper who had heard I was an avid raw milk consumer. During the interview she asked what I was paying for my raw milk and I told her 3.99 per half gallon. She immediately said “that’s about twice as much as milk at the supermarket”. My reply took little thought; I told her that I would be willing to pay more, if necessary. In my opinion good raw milk (especially from cows fed little or no grain), is a true superfood. Why would I complain about a few dollars per gallon extra, when my health insurance bill is over $600 per month, largely due to most people eating processed food and industrial milk? It’s not an easy thing when there’s little left over for food. But, we will only change the system by our actions, and we should choose to vote with our dollars for raw milk. >Not sure where your located, (I'm in Florida) but when I first started buying a few years ago, I paid $12/gallon, then when we started milking our own cow, I sold our excess for $10/gallon.
