After last night’s post mentioning raw milk, I looked at more posts on the Net (including posts here, here, here and this excellent story in the Oct. 1 Washington Post with a great anecdote featuring Farmgirl Kitty and her Hedgebrook Farm) and I could plainly see that there is no clear consensus about the safety of raw milk. While there are some “cow boarding” loopholes that allow families to more easily obtain raw milk from cows they don’t have to keep in their backyards, sales are still illegal in most states and there are still many in the scientific community who point to risks, as noted by this FDA recall alert in New York.

love your blog!just added you to our blog-roll at messagefromyard.blogspot.commy organic dairy farmer friend takes the possibility of contaminated milk very seriously… anyone who’s been in a dairy can easily imagine how poop and other contaminants are not easy to keep out of the milk. tb is also a real concernhis feeling is that farmers should work with their states (and vice versa) to have their raw milk operations inspected and licensed
