Whitenight Family Farm is a fifth generation farm. Our small family owned and operated dairy is milking a herd of registered Jersey, Ayrshire and Guernsey cows. The milking cows are housed in a bed-pack style barn with daily grazing in one of several lush, green pastures. We care for all our animals with respect and dedication to our Creator who has entrusted us with this responsibility. Fresh raw milk and raw milk cheese is made from the milk produced by our cows and is available 7 days a week open 24 hours, from our self-serve farm store. Our products are also offered at several off farm stores and markets around the area. Please call if interested in meeting and seeing our family and cows! -Melissa Whitenight
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.
Some states welcome raw milk sales in grocery stores, usually found in the natural food section. Others require herdshare membership. Others can only sell under degraded labeling like 'pet food'. In Kentucky, raw goat milk sales require a doctor's note. Australian raw milk can only be sold as a cosmetic ie 'bath milk'.
Is raw milk safe?
