So...until I get my own cow (which isn't likely!) I'm out of luck. Enjoy your milk! I'd love to hear what differences you discover in having raw versus pasturized.

The cow share program is a clever (but legal) way around that little piece of law. You may be able to do something similar where you are! Andi – it’s illegal here, too – unless one owns the cow.

"Who's there to protect us" and whatnot. However, my feeling is this milk is actually safer than commercial, given we can actually see the cleanliness of the facility, talk to the owners personally, see the integrity of the equipment, control the temperature of the milk as it's transported to our homes, et cetera. I'd really recommend trying to visit if you have a free Saturday, or trying to work out another time with them. :) Elle, I can understand Corrine wanting to process it – getting our food from non-commercial sources can be a little scary. “Who’s there to protect us” and whatnot.

Very beautiful cows! I am really excited about this. Corrine not yet. She doesn't think we will drink enough milk. She doesn't drink it since she doesn't trust the store stuff. I stick with soy milk for now. She loves the idea, we are just still in the planning process! OCD people like her have to process everything to death! But it will happen! Thank you for sharing this! I bet it tastes fabulous! Wow! Very beautiful cows! I am really excited about this. Corrine not yet. She doesn’t think we will drink enough milk.
