Fun Video Fridays – The Raw Milk Pants Edition

OK. You HAVE to watch this video. First of all, that is one very well trained dog to stand there so still all that time. Second, did you see the expression on his face? HILARIOUS!! He is probably wondering what he did in a former life to suffer such humiliation … on camera no less.Continue Reading

What is Homogenization?

To compliment my recent post on pasteurization, I thought I would also cover homogenization as well. I’ve gotten this question a few times recently and I thought I’d post some info about homogenization and why it is bad for our milk. Milk is essentially a mixture of water and oil. And, we all know that theseContinue Reading

Types of Pasteurization

One thing many people might not realize is that there are several different types of pasteurization. While unpasteurized milk is still far superior to pasteurized milk, many of us don’t have access to or can’t afford raw milk.

Raw Milk Podcast Featuring Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures

I thought I had already posted this, but apparently I didn’t! This was a great podcast that I stumbled across a couple months ago. I listened to the whole thing – about an hour and 15 minutes – and was thoroughly entertained the entire time. I learned some new things about the nutrition of raw milk and the benefits that we reap fromContinue Reading

Organic Valley’s Bad Behavior

However, I am a strong supporter of the local family farm and OV’s actions are unacceptable in my mind. In a decision made by their board,Continue Reading

Raw Milk in Colorado

Colorado is one of the states that bans the sale of raw milk. Hard to believe, seeing that this state was founded on agriculture, farming and ranching. The only states that allow the sale of raw milk in stores are California, Connecticut, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, South Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. ThisContinue Reading

Queen Elizabeth Drinks Raw Milk – Why Can’t We?

This is a Canadian article about how Queen Elizabeth drinks raw, unpasteurized milk, yet Canadians are not permitted to consume it. Canada’s regulation of raw milk seems to be worse that the US. At least here in the US, there are a variety of laws – in some states you can purchase at stores, some states you haveContinue Reading

The Truth About Raw Milk

I came across a couple of fantastic articles on the Journal of Living Food and Healing’s website. Rather than regurgitate all of the info in the posts – and frankly, there is far too much to do so – I strongly encourage you to read Part 1 and Part 2. If that’s not enough toContinue Reading
