My liquid gold has arrived!
I mentioned last week that we were joining a cow share, and today I picked up our very first bottle!
Aside from all of the health benefits and nutritional reasons to choose raw milk, Abbie and I each had a glass this afternoon and we discovered one of the best reasons of all- it tastes amazing!
I have never been a milk drinker. Even as a child I preferred chocolate milk or nothing. I think today I have been converted.
It may cost a small fortune, but I think it’s going to be worth every penny.

December 10, 2007 at 7:56 AMGlad to hear you discovered the world’s perfect food! If your like me, your going to need a whole bunch more than that little jar pictured. I started with a halve gallon a week and now I personally drink every drop of four gallons a week!

Depending on what kind of cow it is, you can make great ice cream with the cream.
I see you like the Nourishing Traditions. There ice cream recipe is great!
Thanks for sharing,

December 18, 2007 at 3:11 PMThe Washington Department of Agriculture has advised consumers that raw milk bottled by Pleasant Valley Dairy may be contaminated with Campylobacter. More details here: http://efoodalert.blogspot.com/2007/12/why-drinking-raw-milk-can-be-risky.html

December 18, 2007 at 3:25 PMThank you for the link and the tip, Phyllis. Although I believe that raw milk is most beneficial to our health, even though these smaller dairies are extremely careful with what they are doing, every once in a while something can go wrong (as it can with larger, conventional producers as well).
So- if you’ve purchased milk from this dairy, please be warned and go check your fridge!
