Melissa in Australia Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 we drink raw milk, from our own cow. Here in Australia it is illegal to sell raw milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA323 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 We drink it. You're more likely to get sick from eating contaminated fruits and veggies, too, but we all eat those without a second thought. I'm convinced that raw, grass-fed, Jersey milk is as important for our health as the fresh, raw produce we eat. I wouldn't consider eliminating either from our diet. I buy a bit of pasteurized milk for cooking just to cut costs, but we drink all raw milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I wouldn't unless I was picking it up every week at the farm. There was a HUGE problem with this locally that involved with many people getting ill and being hospitalized. The pictures that came out of that farm after were absolutely disgusting.

That's why we pasteurize milk for the most part - it used to kill and harm a lot of people. I would much prefer raw milk for the kids if I had a local farmer who I was absolutely sure had a clean and carefully run facility or our own cow. Absent that (and never mind that it's illegal to sell here :glare: ) I would not touch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom@shiloh Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Some people have commented on the expense of raw milk -- I'm a bit curious what others pay for raw. We pay $2/gallon for ours, absolutely a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pay $2/gallon for ours, absolutely a bargain! :svengo: I miss living somewhere with cheap groceries. Our regular grocery store milk is currently $3.69/gallon. The cheapest organic milk I've seen at the store is $3.99 for a half-gallon. The raw stuff from grass fed cows ( not sold in stores) is $9-$11/gal.

higginszoo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The raw milk around here goes for $7-9/gallon, vs. $3-4/gal for regular store milk. If I could get raw milk for $2/gallon, directly from the producer, I'd probably do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OK Family Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I pay $4.50 for a gallon of raw milk. I think regular milk is around $4.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
