Are there any legal ways to buy raw milk in the state of Indiana?
Q. I buy raw milk cheese from a local farmer (US law requires raw milk cheese be aged at least 60 days), but would like to know more about buying raw milk. I've heard it is legal in many US states. Does anyone know about IN? If so, where can you buy it?

A. Not sure about the Indiana laws but if it is illegal, you need to look for a farmer who sells herd shares. This way you technically own part of the herd and therefore can drink the milk of your own animals. I know there are many raw milk activists in Indiana, you just need to search for them.

What can i do to help raw milk not get taken away?
Q. I heard the government is taking it away. If anything they need to take away the homogenized milk that's the more harmful kind at least the raw has good bacteria and probiotics.
Asked by :SoCaLChiK.: - Thu Dec 27 19:33:51 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is a state by state decision. I've never seen the feds involved, as best I can tell. In some states, raw milk is completely illegal with no work arounds. Many do ban its sale off the farm or directly through stores. In my state, it can't be sold inside city limits, but if outside city limits, the dairy can sell it. We have a great raw milk dairy near us that we use ALL the time! Some states, you have to actually buy a "share" in a cow, then you can get your portion of milk from that cow - which is housed, fed and milked by a dairyman for you. See how it works? To find out actual details, you can go to They are working to make raw milk available to consumers in all 50 states. I believe in CA they can actually sell raw milk… [cont.]

A. Actually it's illegal but there's ways of getting around it. If you own the dairy, you can drink the unpasteurized milk. So what some dairies do is sell you 1 share of their stock( which makes you an owner, which makes it legal for you to buy).( 1 share would cost about $20 for life). When I was with Whole Foods in Orlando, they sold one but it was labeled "for animal consumption only". That was the other way around it. They did however stop selling it and not for the reasons you would think. The dairy that sold it to us was located in Florida and only the Florida region had access to it. Because people in other states found out and all the other out-of -state stores couldn't get it, they decided to drop it. If a dairy labels it that way,… [cont.]

What is healthier - raw milk or sterilized by boiling raw milk?
Q. I've read that by drinking raw milk you could get E. coli, salmonella, listeria, or other diseases. By boiling the raw milk and letting it cool down, will the bacterium go away? If I boil the milk, does the "good stuff" such as vitamins, enzymes... disappear? Thanks. Is there a difference between pasteurized milk from the store and boiled raw milk? Thanks.

A. I am no expert, but I have read opinions that *certified* raw milk is actually safer even in terms of bacteria counts than pasteurized milk because certified raw milk is actually checked for bacteria, whereas "everyone knows" that pasteurized milk is bacteria-free (which it is *not* even under ideal circumstances) so nobody bothers checking. As I said, I don't know if it's true or not...you have to do the research and make up your own mind.

Raw Milk, Beneficial to health or is it dangerous?

I also did a paper about raw and pasteurized milk and what i learned shocked and disappointed me. At the very least if i cannot get raw milk i will drink the organic pasterized milk. i learned that milk is a good sorce of calcium but only if it is an organic form meaning in it's natural state. When heat is applied to milk as in pastuerization it then becomes inorganic and the molecular structure has changed and it is not recognized by the body, so the body does not know what to do with it in this form. So in essence, milk that is pasteurized has most of the good stuff missing and destroyed before… [cont.]

This is often done in countries where there is not enough milk production to meet the demand for beverage milk consumption. The concept is simple. Skim milk powder is dispersed in water and allowed to hydrate. Butter is then emulsified into this mixture by either blending melted butter into the liquid mixture while hot, or by dispersing solid butter into the liquid through a high shear blender device. In some cases, a non-dairy fat source may also be used. The recombined milk product is then pasteurized, homogenized and packaged as in regular milk production.

This may be due to corporate legislation allowing both companies and government to restrict the freedom of information act when it concerns matters of national security. Id like to know how milk fat losses affect national security, but I'm not going to split hairs over it. Fact is that older statistics are probably not restricted, so your local public library may be a good place to start looking for historical records of milk processing statistics and procedures. Good luck!

Is raw cow milk safe to drink?
Q. My neighbor has a few dairy cows that were left over from a farm shutting down nearby. The cows don't take steroids or anything. They just graze on regular grass and clean water. My neighbor and her family drink the milk raw. I've never seen them have any problems with it. I looked up raw milk and most of the people claiming the dangerous thing about it is steroids and such but nothing on cows that are healthy and eat healthy, natural cow food (plain ol' grass). Is it safe to drink if the cow is healthy and doesn't take steroids? Please post. Thanks.
Asked by Laura Lynn Gerber - Thu Jun 25 16:06:59 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. My opinion - YES - especially if you know how healthy the cows are, and are familiar with how sanitary the milking parlor is. I grew up on a farm with 4 siblings. We all had drank raw cows milk. Never had any problems that we knew of. Many of my friends also were from farm families that drank their own raw milk. It's very tasty, I remember my dad bringing several bottles of milk from the barn every evening and putting them in the fridge. Next morning, he'd pour off some cream from the top for his cereal and coffee. Before we drank any of the milk, we'd shake the bottle to mix it all up. Now, personal opinion aside, there are risks with drinking raw milk - especially if the milking operation isn't as clean as it could be.

My neighbor and her family drink the milk raw. I've never seen them have any problems with it. I looked up raw milk and most of the people claiming the dangerous thing about it is steroids and such but nothing on cows that are healthy and eat healthy, natural cow food (plain ol' grass). Is it safe to drink if the cow is healthy and doesn't take steroids? Please post. Thanks.

A. My opinion - YES - especially if you know how healthy the cows are, and are familiar with how sanitary the milking parlor is. I grew up on a farm with 4 siblings. We all had drank raw cows milk. Never had any problems that we knew of. Many of my friends also were from farm families that drank their own raw milk. It's very tasty, I remember my dad bringing several bottles of milk from the barn every evening and putting them in the fridge. Next morning, he'd pour off some cream from the top for his cereal and coffee. Before we drank any of the milk, we'd shake the bottle to mix it all up. Now, personal opinion aside, there are risks with drinking raw milk - especially if the milking operation isn't as clean as it could be.

Apparently, agrarianism is the new urbanism for a growing number of twenty-somethings. Maybe the desire for a plot of one's own is neither so quaint nor so.
