Milk is a raw material that comes from the mammary glands of cows, goats, sheep, camels, alpacas, or any other mammal.

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.

Raw milk is preferred by a growing number of people across the world for a variety of reasons related to nutrition, food security, and fairness in production of the dairy we consume.
