Re: Raw milk near Louisville? Hay for milk? Legal?

January 4, 2010

Maybe just exchange invoices? They bill you for boarding 'your' cow at their place, and you invoice them for hay?Dawn in Kelowna

I found a farm with a raw milk share program but no shares are

presently available. I found a Co Op but with two little ones at home

I'm not in a position to fullfill all the requirements. I also don't

want to pay an additional 20%. I have a good source for beef and eggs

and have my own garden so I just need a good source for raw milk. I'd

like to make my own raw cheese, raw butter, raw yogurt. I live part

time in Washington County KY on our farm and part time in the city of

Louisville, KY. I'm interested in purchasing a share in a cow or in

trading a whole heck of a lot of hay for a share. We currently cut

between 200-300 acres of grass for hay twice/year. This was the first

in eight years that we got three cuts. Only one year, during a

drought, did we only get one cut. Our farm was a cattle farm for

almost 100 years, then it was vacant for 20, it's been just used for

hunting, hay and a few horses with us for eight years. No chemicals!

So how much hay would you like for a share for a family of six???

and how close to Washington or Jefferson Co are you located?

Is it legal to trade a product like hay for raw milk in a state where

it is illegal to sell raw milk?

What would it take to change the law? I don't mind a good fight for a

good cause!
