I live in abbotsford and would like to try using raw milk and see if the benefits are true. I don’t drink alot of milk because I’m scared of the pasteurized, homogenized, fluids being sold in the store. If anyone has any names or numbers of contacts/farms I could try please email me

I’ve had raw milk before and never got sick. I guess it depends on the person… But if you put raw milk in a pot with sugar and let it cook at a low fire for a couple of hours you’ll have the most delicious thing i tried on a trip to argentina, it’s called Dulce de leche, which means milk sweet.

When my boyfriend was a child, on a visit to his mother’s homeland of Poland, his mother gave him some raw milk to drink. He got horribly sick.
He’s still bitter about the whole experience.

I think I bought some o’ that raw milk at the diary shop in Pike Place Market in Seattle about a decade ago. Not sure if they’re still selling it, or if the shop is even still there.

In theory, I think that raw milk makes sense and that one should be able to purchase it.

If the laws were changed, I wonder what the unintended side effects would be? For instance, as I understand it, “organic” has been swamped with big companies that manage to follow the letter of the law, but not the spirit, and that has changed the food industry.

When you were a wee thing, living in the country, I felt excited that I could buy good quality unpasteurized cow and goat milk straight from the farmer. It was handled with the utmost of cleanliness and we got what we needed fresh daily. We stopped the cow’s milk because you had difficulty with the high fat content and we stopped the goat’s milk because they moved away. This was when, in Abbotsford, the farmers still delivered hay by horse and wagon (boy, does that ever make me sound old!).

But the world has changed, even in this short time, and I don’t know if I would buy the milk now because I don’t know my neighbours anymore, not like you do in a small country community.

But I am glad I got to live there, even just for a little while; it was a nice place to be.

Hm. There’s actually a farm in Abbotsford that does that (you buy a share of a cow and you can have the raw milk). I buy my chickens from them (they’re part of the SPCA program that makes sure the animals are treated humanely before they become your dinner).

Personally, I don’t like raw milk, so I wouldn’t do it, but the last time I was there picking up some chickens, four or five people walked in to pick up their milk.

The Government is opposed to people selling raw milk because the Milk Board can’t regulate the sales, which means they can’t sell quota. It’s all about money.

Everyone knows cigarettes cause cancer and contribute to a massive strain on the medical system but the government still permits them to be sold, simply because of the revenue generated from the tax.

Whenever a rule or policy doesn’t seem to make sense, ask yourself who benefits financially from it.
