Nope you didn't but they would have you think that the 'ethical' farmers are not very common which in truth it is the other way round

I grew up drinking raw milk........in winter warm milk straight from the cow for our weetbix was a treat! I even remember squirting it straight into my mouth when milking. When we found out my brother had asthma I kept milking goats and we drank a fair bit of that. Dad swears it was "past your eyes" as hethe supermarket watched it come into the house each morning !
I now drink goats milk from the supermarket.
By the way it took me ages to get used to the taste of "bought" milk and I am currently trying to work out the logistics of keeping our own milking goat.

Kateo, warm fresh milk sounds so yummy!!!
I must admit I have never actually tried raw milk, but I just think it would taste so much better, besides the health benefits. I remember as a kid, having the milk man deliver milk in glass bottles, and that milk was so much better tahn store brought milk. It had the cream layer, and was so much thicker and richer.

You can buy raw milk/bath milk from an organic butcher in Beaconsfield (SE Suburbs Melb) for those interested. Cherrytree Organics.
