Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 We don't have any listed sources near us either. So I resorted to hanging up a wanted flyer on local boards. I got lucky and had a neighbor call me! Kayla Siemens wrote: > I have a friend looking for raw milk in the Texas Panhandle. Does anyone > know a source?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Maybe for some reason they don't get listed, like already have enough customers. She could try just driving around looking for dairy cows in grassy fields and asking the farmers if they'd sell her some milk. Of course then they may not be certified dairies. A dairy friend of mine said the small dairies are very unlikely to use hormones as they damage the health of the cows and on small operations they try to keep their cows healthy. I just know there are a lot of folks out there who sell hormone- free, grass fed animal products that have no need to advertise. My favorite farm now has a 1 year waiting list for their meats. One taste of their real sausage and you're hooked! None of that creepy stuff that doesn't shrink when you cook it! > > I have a friend looking for raw milk in the Texas Panhandle.

I don't believe there are any local chapters out that way, mine may be the western outpost of North Texas <g>. And there ain't much green pasture out that way neither. Please send on the list of providers for N TX (which includes Austin and other places far afield) and ask her to check back often, as we get new farms listed all the time. It may be wise to look into Oklahoma sources as well. http://www.salvonix.com/WAP/farm.htm She should look into the laws for TX real milk as well, if she hasn't. http://www.salvonix.com/WAP/rm.htm HTH, Deanna Wagner Ft.
