That's great, except that Raw milk is not available everywhere. In Los Angeles, Kenneth Hahn, fought to make Raw milk unavailable to all of us here.

Steuve's dairy, (altadena) division, formerlly Was put out of business for trying to run a raw milk dairy.

Now raw milk runs in excess of $4.00 a quart here. Plus the bottle deposit. Not exactly affordable.

It's unfortunate that raw milk is not available more widely - just one more limitation of freedom for consumers and farmers. It needs to be carefully monitored for sanitation, but banning it altogether reflects politics and money talking.

Supply is pretty limited here, but fortunately I have a place about 45 minutes away, so I run out regularly and stock up. It runs about $5/gal versus $3/gal for supermarket milk.

There is a demand for it, too bad the government uses the typical 'ban it' approach. We pay about $4 per gallon for in our cow share program, but that doesn't count the 100 mile round trip every 2 or three weeks when we stock up, nor the initial investment to buy a share of the cow. That was about $100, and then about $20 to buy the reusable 1/2 gallon jars to fill it. Still works out to be cheaper than off the shelf organic, but I'd still pay twice that to get such a quality, healthy product.
