That would probably be Chrome Dairy, which is about 10 minutes away from me in Oxford, PA. They sell their milk pretty widely in this region, PA, NJ, probably MD, VA too. After reading WAPF/NT and considering adding milk to my diet, but before getting on board about raw milk, there were a few weeks where I bought milk and cultured buttermilk from their store. Just keep in mind it is pasteurized and fortified with synthetic retinol just like typical supermarket milk, which is required by law, although they don't fortify with vit D because that's legally optional. They do sell homogenized and unhomogenized milk. So even though it is rBGH free and possibly from more conscientious husbandry conditions than typical supermarket milk, I would still never consume it again any more than I'd ever consume compromise milk again. @@@@@@@@@ > Since my local grocery store carries Organic Valley I have been requesting > that they carry the whole milk pasteurized version as opposed to the > ultra-pasteurized one.

I'm sure you wouldn't have to drive more than an hour or so to get farm-direct raw milk in that area.

Maxine @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Instead of being absurdly ripped off for second-rate pasteurized ex- milk, why not just eat other foods until your raw milk source kicks in? You say you have a need for it, but the only need you have is feed your baby your own milk. There are plenty of other foods you and (eventually) your baby can eat besides milk that are at least as nutritious and would be at least as effective in addressing whatever issues you have in being underweight. With milk, it's better to have the real thing or nothing.

I think it is crazy to put any effort into promoting " only pasteurized " milk instead of real milk. It makes my head spin that people would have this attitude. Have you read Ron Schmid's " The Untold Story of Milk " ? I know where my activism and dollars are going...
