RE: Finding raw milk

[Guest guest]

Blair,

I also used to get Organic Pastures " pet food " too. They sold it at Food

Front and The People's Co-op. It was hard to find in stock, so I placed

special orders each and every week to make sure I got my supply. But Mark

McAfee, the owner of Organic Pastures, was issued a cease and desist letter

from the Oregon Department of Agriculture after the Dee Creek farm incident

and had to stop shipping into Oregon. Unfortunately, realmilk.com has not

updated their " What's Happening " web page to reflect that change. The local

distributors are fighting that and hope to get it reintroduced.

I use Meyenberg brand goats milk because it has no hormones and being goats

milk, it is not homogenized. But organic milk is just as damaged by

pasteurization as non-organic milk is.

Tillamook is a great brand. For pasteurized products, they are among the

best.

Finding raw milk

My sister lives in Portland, and she used to get Organic Pastures milk

'for pets only' at her grocery store. Hard to find in stock tho.

Oregon also sells unhomogenized goat milk; widely available. Better than

P/H swill? Altho - Tillamook Farms announced they were dropping

hormones, and even organic P/H milk in Washington/Oregon has got to be

better than organic milk in Colorado...we have grass about 6 months a

year, and that's stretching it.

The New Yorker Magazine had a 'talk of the town' blurb about the

surrepticious gatherings of raw-milk drinkers, picking up their milk

driven into NYC and dropped off at some-one's house under cover of

darkness...

There ARE co-ops in NYC; and you don't have to drive for hours. Hoping

one of our NYC members speaks up here...

Best of luck and keep your eyes on the prize. It's like any hunting;

a trained eye will find them.
