Yes, raw goat milk. My understanding is that there may be a way to do

it, but you have to jump through all sorts of hoops. I haven't found

anything very clear. I would love it if someone could spell it out for

me.

according to this

http://www.realmilk.com/where1.html#ca

raw goat's milk is not legal -- only for pet consumption or via goat shares.

you could

contact one or more of these farms to see how they are doing it.

In Colorado, raw milk is available through herd shares - both cow and

goat. A contractual arrangement between farmers and consumers keeps

the government out of your business. If you need samples of the Bill

of Sale and Boarding Contract, realmilk.com has some. FTCLDF had some

teleconference classes on boarding contracts for $30.

Not too many hoops but you need to understand the law and the contracts.
