Raw Milk Rules

When I first moved to Pennsylvania, I befriended a plain-sect (Amish) woman  who uncharacteristically took me under her wing. Rebekah taught me about eating real food. She encouraged me to think bigger - teaching me about gardening, cooking, sewing, and yes, real milk. Rebekah's family owns two Jersey cows. 

They give the richest, sweetest, tastiest milk I've ever consumed. For a while, I purchased her extra milk for our family. Then I had to stop. The FDA began actually raiding Amish farms (guns drawn) that sold milk without going through them. If you follow me on facebook, you'll know that I'm enraged that Americans are being denied the right to choose their food.

Many of you won't be able to buy raw milk, because it's illegal in your state. 


Go ahead and buy a pack of cigarettes, but try to buy raw milk and this what you'll hear: 'that stuff can kill you!'

It's amazing how many Amish families DON'T die from drinking raw milk... 



But that's not what this article is about. 
What I wanted to share with you is this: Raw Milk Rules. 

I'm sending you to a website of a woman who's done all the research and has tons of references for you. I hope you have time to really read through this: What You Should Know about Raw Milk 

In a nutshell: know your farm (not all raw milk is safe), raw milk is alive (like yogurt only better), and raw milk is good for farmers. And cows. And the environment. And the consumer. 

Here in Pennsylvania, we still have the right to buy raw milk from certified farmers. But if the FDA gets their way, that right will be going away. If that happens, I can guarantee you, we'll have a COW! 

I mean, we'll buy a cow. 

And the FDA people aren't invited to our homemade ice cream party.
