Same here, “raw” milk from a large 2-gallon glass “pickle jar” style container when I was younger.
About 95% of the food, I ate when younger was home grown/processed/butchered.
Milk, eggs, and bread my father bartered for with the Amish.
I spent countless summer days with my father as he would work on a small engine, etc. I would spend time with the Amish families children with their chores, as they thought me many useful skills.
The PA ag department was the gestapo that shut down businesses in PA during the covid CHinese flu biological attack.
Should label it as “not authorized for human consumption”.
Who knows how many calves need to be bottle-fed?

can’t beat rural life- such a great way to grow up in my opinion
Read the comments for additional info.
We drank raw milk in my younger days. I guess I might have been as old as 7 when we stopped. My memory is sorta sketchy. I think the dairy ended up closing down to urban expansion.
A few years back I asked my older siblings the name of the dairy farmer and they couldnt remember. His farm was about 5 miles from our house.
We’d take a clean gallon glass milk jug to a dairy my family knew for ages. I remember a giant, stainless steel vat where the milk was coming in from the cows. It seems we paid 25 cents for a gallon.
We’d put the gallon jug into the fridge and then the next morning my mom would skim off the cream - mostly for making homemade pies/cakes.
I learned to love milk. I still have 8 oz of milk every morning & I’m almost 71 yrs old now. Of course the milk we have to buy now is from our local grocer - pasteurized & homogenized.
We did too- we used to keep the cream and make milk shakes out of it- we woudl buy about 5 gallons at a time- the milk was really good too- i guess there are places folsk can still buy raw milk, but there was concern though that it might have been the cause of Crohn’s back in the day- not sure they ever proved that htough
