Find Raw Milk Worldwide

Raw milk is unpasteurized milk that comes directly from the mammary glands of dairy animals including cows, goats, sheep, camels, alpacas, buffalo, donkeys, and other mammals.

Raw milk has not been treated or subjected to boiling, pasteurization, homogenization, UV radiation, high-pressure processing, or any other process meant to alter its composition.

Raw milk is milked, filtered, cooled, bottled, and sold direct-to-consumer, customers, cheese makers, or retailers.

When you choose raw milk, you are supporting farmers directly - instead of corporate milk processors.

There are two distinct categories of raw milk: raw milk intended for human consumption and raw milk intended for pasteurization.

Raw milk for human consumption is produced under strict food safety standards with rigorous testing, handling, and facility requirements. This milk is safe to drink directly from the bottle.

Raw milk for pasteurization is produced for commercial processing and is not intended to be consumed raw. This category has less stringent safety requirements because it will be heat-treated before consumption.

Raw milk is growing in popularity around the world for reasons related to nutrition, food security, local farming support, and fairness in the production of dairy products.

Many consumers believe raw milk offers nutritional benefits and better taste compared to pasteurized alternatives. Read more about the reasons people choose raw milk.

Raw milk legality varies by location. In the USA, raw milk sales are permitted or prohibited at the state level. Consuming raw milk is not illegal anywhere, but selling it is regulated differently in each state.

Some states welcome raw milk sales in grocery stores, usually in the natural food section. Other states require herdshare membership or specific licensing to distribute raw milk.

California allows raw milk widely in grocery stores. Kentucky requires a physician's note for raw goat milk. Florida permits raw milk sales through feed licensing. Australia restricts raw milk to cosmetic purposes. England bottles milk just like the United States. In France, and many other parts of Europe, raw milk is dispensed through retailers and standalone vending machines.

Statistics show that raw milk consumers experience illness and hospitalization at rates far below other common foods, including leafy greens, chicken, and raw oysters.

Raw milk illness rate is low per serving consumed and per consumer
