My purchase of dairy has changed over the years. For the past 10-12 years I only purchased “organic” dairy but was very disappointed when I realized that the organic milk I was purchasing was “ultra-pasteurized.” Why did “ultra-pasteurized” milk concern me? Because milk that is heated to over 280 degrees (ultra-pasteurized) has removed all nutritional value from it. Ugh I was not happy, especially because I had found one brand that raised their cattle “grass-fed.” The value of having grass-fed cattle was negated by ultra-pasteurizing the milk. So, I was paying for “grass-fed” but got no nutritional value from my milk.
WHAT WAS I TO DO?
What was I to do? Well with a little digging, I found a local farmer that did not homogenize their milk (which means the cream comes to the top … yum) and they do low heat pasteurization (140 degrees). Now that’s where I get my milk but had to go to another farmer in another town to get my half and half … which I like in my coffee. I like half and half in my coffee and a dab of milk in my English Breakfast tea. Going to the two farms for my diary was working ok for me, but I really wanted to try raw milk. The problem was the farmer who sells raw milk was far from me.
FOUND RAW MILK!
Well recently, I discovered a small market in the same town that I purchase my milk from that sells raw milk. Yes!!! I was happy.
Now mind you the raw milk was not inexpensive, but I didn’t mind because now I can use this for my coffee and not have to go to another farmer to get my half and half. Raw milk is so rich, thick and tasty and did I say healthy.
Many people shy away from raw milk, but I believe we’ve been sold a bill of goods regarding it just like we have been sold a bill of goods regarding other foods we eat. I’m a broken record when I say this but “let’s get back to God’s design for food and not what these profit driven companies and the tyranny of our Government say.”

I hope this message sheds a little light on dairy and that you might do a little research yourself. Check on the milk you have in your refrigerator and see if it’s “ultra-pasteurized.” If yes then consider finding a brand that is not. The best of best is going to a local farmer that treats their cattle without hormones, pesticides, herbicides, etc.
