Why raw milk? Well, simply put raw milk is milk that has not undergone the process of pasteurization and removed nearly all benefits found in cow's milk. While some people may be skeptical of consuming raw milk, it is important to note that there are many benefits to including it in your diet when it has been produced in a safe manner. Firstly, raw milk contains raw enzymes that naturally break down proteins and fats, making it easier for our bodies to digest. This can be particularly beneficial for people who are lactose intolerant or have difficulty digesting dairy products. Additionally, raw milk is a good source of lactic acid bacteria, which are known to have a number of health benefits including supporting a healthy gut microbiome. Moreover, raw milk has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. This is due to the presence of a unique protein called lactoferrin, which has been found to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. Here are some more facts about the research behind raw milk and its benefits:

• In 1929, J. E. Crewe, MD, one of the founders of the Mayo Foundation published an article entitled “Raw Milk Cures Many Diseases.” Here is what he had to say about it:

“For fifteen years the writer has employed the certified milk treatment in various diseases and during the past ten he had a small sanitarium devoted principally to this treatment. The results obtained in various types of disease have been so uniformly excellent that one’s conception of disease and its alleviation is necessarily changed.” In other words, raw milk treated and cured a vast range of diseases and ailments.

• From 1893-1999 the American Association of Medical Milk Commissions (AAMMC) certified clean, raw milk for human consumption and medical use?! This milk was used with great success across the US in hospitals to treat a wide variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, edema, hypertension, asthma, and the list goes on…

• Dr. Charles Porter MD published a book (Milk Diet, as a Remedy for Chronic Disease) which details his use of a raw milk diet in the treatment of over 18,000 patients!

  The studies have shown time and time again, the health benefits associated with the intake of clean, raw milk! Can you get sick from unpasteurized, non-homogenized milk? Yes. There is no such thing as a perfectly clean food product. EVER. But, when you buy raw milk from us, you can be assured we have rigorous standards and testing to be confident that what leaves our creamery is incredibly low-risk. Don’t let the FDA scare you into thinking clean, raw milk is of the devil. Remember, those are the guys telling you to dip your pizza in chocolate. I wish I was kidding.
