Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi all. I am relatively new to the group. I sent an introduction but am not sure if I ever saw it posted. I try to keep up with the e-mails as best as I can but don't have a chance to read them all. I would like to start making Kefir and have a couple questions. I live in Arlington, WA which is about 50 minutes north of Seattle. I have been unable to find local sources for raw milk. I noticed that Dr. Mercola is selling raw milk on his web site. I am not really a milk drinker so I thought making Kefir would be a good place to start. My dilemma with buying milk through Dr. Mercola's web site is that for the expense I wouldn't want it to go to waste and since I would only be making kefir to start it may be too much. Does anyone have any other ideas of where I can obtain raw milk? I also wanted to ask if the kefir recipe in Nourishing Traditions is what others on the list typically use? This has probably been addressed in the past, maybe in the archives? Thanks for your help in advance. It is nice to read about people so willing to help each other!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 > Does anyone > have any other ideas of where I can obtain raw milk? > You can make kefir with pasteurized milk, many people do. I like to think that kefirizing it brings life back into it. You might like to try a batch or two before you shell out for the high end milk. regards, Bruce -from Canada where the sale of raw milk is illegal throughout the country.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Vicki, Check www.realmilk.com and look at the local chapters for WA. They can help you find raw milk sources.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Thank you and Blane for the web sites. I will be sure to check them out. And Bruce, that is a good idea to make some with pasteurized milk first. I saw a post from about a family in Sequim that wants to possibly start distributing raw milk. Hopefully they will be able to get some to a nearby co-op! Wouldn't that be a blessing! Thanks again to you all and God Bless, Vicki " He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skill of the physician.
