ABOUT THIS SITE…
This site is all about MILK. But not just any milk; pure, unadulterated, and just as nature intended; straight from the cow.
Why get excited about milk? Real Milk comes from cows that have been farmed in premium conditions (organic/biodynamic farming practices, and always grass-fed).
Because of its natural raw state it has supreme taste and flavour, and diverse characteristics depending on the season, variety and genetics of the cow and its grass.
Some people are concerned that real milk might not be safe. This is a very valid food safety issue; as during the early 20th century, many diseases (ie TB, Bruscullosis) occurred because of faulty dairy processing. During this time there were primitive sanitation practices (no stainless steel, no refrigeration, no safety testing) and in most cases, the cows were not optimally cared for.
The health of the cow determined not only the quality, but the safety of the milk, and the milk was woeful and made people sick. We now know, thanks to modern food science and the wisdom of traditional farming practices, that the production of safe raw milk relies on optimum cattle nutrition and health. Healthy cows = healthy milk.
So Real Milk is not just about the final product; it also draws upon many important issues that we are currently facing in our food supply; local production (farm to consumer sales), sustainability, and optimum farming practices.
