Text message preferred, show contact 52O-465-313I Mike. Farmer's statement: "Jersey milk just tastes better! The reason?? There is more protein and calcium in Jersey cow milk compared to other breeds. Jersey milk naturally contains a 20% higher amount of butterfat than other breeds' milk. Butterfat = Flavor! Products such as milk, butter and ice cream made from Jersey milk will naturally have a creamier, richer flavor. Compared to average milk, a glass of Jersey milk has greater nutritional value: 15% to 20% more protein, 15% to 18% more calcium, and 10% to 12% more phosphorous, and also considerably higher levels of an essential vitamin, B12. Whereas other breeds may produce a higher quantity of milk, the Jersey breed by far produces higher quality milk."

Raw milk by species
What is raw milk?
Raw milk comes from cows, goats, sheep, camels, alpacas, or any other mammal. Raw milk has not been subjected to pasteurization, homogenization, high-pressure processing, UV radiation, or any other process meant to alter its composition. Only milked, filtered, cooled, bottled, and sold direct-to-consumer or to the cheese maker.
When you choose raw milk, you are supporting farmers directly - instead of corporate milk processors.
