sources for raw milk (was Re: dairy (&other) allergies)

[Guest guest]

I too clicked on the raw milk website in search of raw milk sources. I would

like to find a source for year round raw cow milk. Thanks for the lead. I

can get raw goat milk from my uncles farm when in season for a few months in

the summer. I freeze it and use it to make ice cream throughout the year.

Freezing doesn't seem to harm the milk in any way. His goats are pasture fed

and I can't tell any difference between his goat milk and cow milk when it's

cold. However, when I've heated it to make pudding it gets a very strong

flavor. So we just use it cold. I use half goat milk and half creme fraiche

to make wonderful ice cream.

Freezing changes the texture but not the substance. I get raw milk

shipped to me frozen.

Many people who have problems with cows milk can well tolerate goats

milk. I was just visiting with my Dad and wife, they both grew up on

farms in Georgia in the 30's. They remember that a doctor's

prescription was needed to get goats milk, which was used for needs

infants.

It is NOT easy. There are few sources. It is illegal to sell it in

the state that ships it to me, and illegal to receive in my state...

so I'm breaking the law... Hopefully your farmer uncle knows someone

with a cow or goat.

If you can, try to use fresh and organic items as much as possible.
