Or can someone tell me where I can find how my state (WV) laws apply to raw milk? I've heard that mere POSSESSION of raw milk is illegal here, but I find that hard to believe.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 www.realmilk.com has lots of info. It looks like, from the info below that it may not be legal to sell it in the state for human consumption, but there are ways around (but within) the law. Check out the site. You might could run to a nearby state to buy it - I think it may be legal in VA, not sure about MD. Steph This is what's listed under sources for the state: West Virginia Cairo: CiscoKidz Farm, Barb Webb, RR 1 Box 325, Cairo,Wv 26337, (304) 628-3791. GoatTalkr9@.... Well cared for,family run goat farm. Raw goat milk available,$4.00 a gallon. Colostrum will be available in May. Some milk delivery is possible,depending on distance and amount needed. Milk is stored/sold in glass jars to maintain flavor and freshness. Spencer: Walsh Dairy. On farms sales of raw milk products from pasture-fed cows " for pets and livestock.

Last time we asked the county health department a question, well, we learned REALLY FAST that there IS such a thing as a 'dumb question'! It really isn't enough for me to know that someone (at some time) is selling milk in WV, I need to know the law. I have been told, as I probably said, that simple possession of raw milk for human consumption is illegal and that importation (from VA, for example) for personal use is illegal. As far as raw goats milk: I've been told by the state that I cannot even GIVE raw goats milk away legally and can only sell it if it is pastuerized!
