New post on raw milk
I’m a guest blogger for Stephanie at Keeper of the Home every 6 weeks. So today, my new post on how to find sources of raw milk is ready for you to read! 🙂
Enjoy,
We just started drinking raw milk after trying to find a source for a long time. But it’s $8 a gallon and we can only get it once every 2 weeks – makes it a little tough. I’ve actually considered looking into getting my own cow now too just to see if that might be a cheaper route… 🙂
I’m having a similar problem getting affordable eggs. I was thinking about chickens, but it honestly overwhelms me right now. I decided to at least read a book or two about it. LOL! Seriously, though, you should come back after you’ve decided and let us know. It’s sad that good food is so expensive. Or maybe it’s sad that bad food is so cheap. 🙂
We have just found a source for raw milk and eggs which isn’t too far away. We’ll be checking it out this next week.
$8 is not an unreasonable price for raw milk. If you understood the work that must be done to make it possible for you to consume it, you would not think it too much. We have all just been deceived by the unrealistic prices of cheap subsidized food. Real milk is not the same as pasteurized, homoginized milk, so you cannot compare the two. I work with farmers, some who have gotten out of the commercial dairy industry because they could not make a living. The amount they were paid did not even cover their cost to produce. And believe me. You do not want to get a cow to cut down on the cost. You will pay far greater in hard work and inconvenience. Your raw milk farmer works hard to ensure you are getting safe, clean, healthy milk. Most of his pay and reward comes from the testimonials of robust health from his customers, not $$. ( A few back yard chickens are a different story).
Serena, thank you for your comment. Hey, about those backyard chickens. If I wanted to learn more about that, where would I start? Any good books? I’m NO farmer, and it sounds overwhelming, to be honest. But I’m praying about it.
I found your post through websearches for raw milk! I’m in the south metro of the Twin Cities…I saw you are in Minnesota? Would you be able to pass on any contacts for obtaining raw milk? Thank you!
Andrea, I so wish I could! We moved to Wisconsin earlier this year, and I haven’t found a source here yet. Two farms I used to know about in southern MN stopped selling to local people. However, I strongly recommend contacting your local Weston Price chapter leader. I’ve met several personally, and they’re the ones who are always most up-to-date. http://www.westonaprice.org/local-chapters/find-local-chapter Blessings to you! ~Anne
