Milk Run to a Town Near You

Howdy Customers. 

If you are interested in unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk in a glass jar with the cream floating on the top then please read...this may be just the answer for you. 

We have a person interested in starting a "milk run".  The idea is that each person would take an occasional trip down here to pick up milk for the group.  The individuals would then pick up at a designated location or home at a particular time. If some were able to drive and others willing to provide gas money or a little of both that would be great. 

Obviously, there are details to work out such as money transactions and keeping the milk cold and such.  If we work together I am sure we can work this out. 

Please send me a confirmation email (preferred) or call (I am very hard to catch) and I will forward on more information.  Please note that by doing so you are giving me permission to share your contact information.

Learn More about Real Milk

Drink raw milk?  Is that safe?  It can't be... otherwise it would be in the stores, right?   Those are common thoughts to have.  I only ask that you make up your own mind after researching it.  Here are a few quick links on the subject.

Feel free to email with questions after you have read some things online.  We have been drinking cow and goat milk for 4.5 years now.  What have we noticed?  I will share a few items.  I had a persistent (and very painful) breast infection while I was nursing my son for the first 5 month.  It  went away and never returned after we started drinking raw milk.  I have been lactose intolerant my whole life but I can drink as much unpasteurized milk as I want!  Matt comments that he needs less sleep and has more energy than anytime in his life.  Those of you who know Matt are probably already in awe of his activity levels.  I know I still am.
