Where to Get Raw Milk

Milking Patches with Bea watching.

With a two year old around I often find myself cutting my posts short. Last time I meant to mention where you can get raw milk locally. In Connecticut you can get raw milk from Stonewall Farm in Cornwall. You can go directly to the farm or find it at several area stores. I know they carry it at LaBonnes in Lakeville and Health Food Junction in Canaan. If you are in the Great Barrington area you can join the Twin Oaks Farm milk co-op. The laws about selling raw milk are a little different in MA so they've set up a co-op with a pick up at the Berkshire Co-op Market.

Raw Milk

Yes, we drink our milk straight from the cow - not pasteurized. We know she's healthy, eating good quality feed and that our milking system is clean. There is a lot to say concerning raw milk and I don't have a personal mission to convert all milk drinkers to raw, unhomogenized milk. Some people seem to think that as organic farmers it is our role to educate consumers about everything from organic growing methods to the health benefits of organic food and perhaps especially about the faults of modern conventional food production. I don't see that as my role. We're busy enough running our farm and raising our family. We feel that when people see our farm & produce and taste our food they will start to understand. A bite of a real tomato has a much greater effect than a lecture of you shoulds and you shouldn'ts. So if you want to know more about raw milk check out the links on the sidebar.
