Acres U.S.A. Interview: Mark

McAfee

January 2007, Acres U.S.A.

The story of Mark McAfee’s rise into the national limelight

was the subject of an Acres U.S.A. report in May 2004 (“Reinventing

Dairy: Organics & Innovation Give Consumers Real Milk”). Recently

Organic Pastures Dairy became the target of a cabal forever dedicated to

the proposition that confinement dairy cows, ineffective pasteurization

and debilitating results of contaminated milk be protected by law. The

milk story is well known to Acres U.S.A. readers. In a world where the

sound-bite TV mantra has become the arbiter of “settled” science, a

steadily growing number of consumers have set aside the edicts of FDA and

opted for fresh, unprocessed milk, and in doing so have defeated many of

the syndromes that torment children and adults alike ­ lower bowel

disorders, lactose intolerance, digestive upset and allergies, to mention

a few.

The fact is that consumers are on the march, and the

absconders of our most precious heritage have a hard time serving their

sub-rosa masters while staying within the law.

Mark McAfee has managed the 600-acre McAfee family farm since the early

1980s. In 1998 he was awarded “Best of the West” for innovations in food

safety and was also featured on 20/20 with Lynn Sherr for his food safety

and organic innovations. In 2000, he initiated the dairy and became an

innovator in that sector ­ among Mark’s inventions is the nation’s first

Grade A Certified, 20-station mobile milk barn, which “brings the barn to

the cows.”

In this interview he states the case for fresh, raw milk and

announces that the fighting spirit of at least a few of agriculture’s

leaders is not dead.
