Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have been making my kefir with cow milk. However, I just really prefer drinking goat milk. I prefer the taste, and it seems that my stomach does much better with it. I don't even use cow milk for anything anymore except making kefir and yogurt. I use almond milk for almost everything (baking, cereal, making ice cream, etc.), and if I do drink straight milk, it is goat milk. And I'd really love to switch to making my kefir with goat milk. Or, really, I'd just like to eliminate cow milk from my kitchen entirely...not because I think it is a horrible thing to drink. I just don't digest it as well as goat milk. However, I live in the city of Chicago, and the closest place where I can get raw goat milk is not close enough to be practical. But, the only goat milk that I can find in the store is ultra-pasteurized. Is there store bought goat milk that is not ultra-pasteurized? Does this exist? Also, does anyone know if you can make yogurt with goat milk? I'd assume so? Is it important that it is not ultra-pasteurized for yogurt making?

Is there store bought goat milk that is not ultra-pasteurized? Does this exist? " I'm a newbie here, but I have bought goat milk at Trader Joe's. I don't know if they have TJ's in Chicago, but I looked everywhere on the container when I was purchasing, and nowhere does it say Ultra Pasteurized or high temp, just pasteurized. And though they don't have raw milk, they do have 2% with cream on top cow milk, that is not ultra-pasterized. I too would like a closer source for raw milk. I did go the distance to pick up my wonderful MKG's (Thank you ) but if all goes well that is a one time deal! I did put a portion in the freezer. And if I can stop eating the extra, I will also freeze some grains for backup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hmmm...I thought I checked at Trader Joe's a while back, but maybe I missed it...I'll check again. Thanks! We have TJ's all over Chicago. I don't think moving to Eugene, Oregon would be too practical for my life, lol. In Illinois, they have such strict rules for selling raw milk, it is ridiculous. Talk about trying to squelch small farm farmers! It is legal to sell raw milk, but it is illegal for places that sell raw milk to advertise it! It is also illegal to sell it in a container from the seller. I do occasionally buy raw cow milk from a farm that is at least not too desperately far from me, and I have to bring my own containers because it is illegal for them to sell it to me any other way. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind bringing my own containers, and if the farm I go to ran their business that way, I would have no problems agreeing to that. It is more the point that they are forced to run their business that way that bothers me. It's like laws were purposely made for no other purpose than to make it very difficult to sell raw milk.
