Real milk dairy photos

[Guest guest]

This last week I went out to visit an all-Jersey dairy that provides the raw

milk that I've been drinking for almost three years now. I posted some photos

from the visit here, in case anyone may be interested:

Here in Texas the state health department has just recently proposed more

stringent rules that would force consumers to go directly to the farm to buy and

pick up their raw milk legally. At present, the rule only requires " sale " of

raw milk at a licensed grade A raw milk dairy and does not deal with

distribution of the milk. Needless to say, we are working to stop this

proposal. We would prefer to see the rule changed to allow legal sale and

distribution of the raw milk by the grade A dairies at farmers markets and

designated drop locations.

The initial public response was much larger than the health department expected

and has slowed down the rule-making process. Hopefully it will also cause them

to re-consider and change the proposal to a more realistic alternative like we

are suggesting.

Time will tell.
