Frequently asked questions

When milk is kept in its natural state, you’re getting a full-fat dairy food with protein, fat, and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. Many raw milk fans also appreciate the fresh flavor and simple processing. If you want help deciding whether it fits your routine, talk with your health professional.

Raw milk is a whole-food dairy option, so you’re getting protein, fat, and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals in a less processed form. A lot of people like it for its rich taste and simple, farm-fresh feel. If you’re choosing milk for a specific health reason, it’s smart to check with your healthcare provider first.

For some people, fermented dairy like kefir, yogurt, cultured butter, or cheese can feel easier to work with than plain milk. Everyone’s body is different, so your experience may be different too. If you’re exploring raw dairy, start with what fits your routine and pay attention to how you feel.

Many customers choose raw milk for the taste, the full-fat texture, and the simple way it’s handled before it reaches you. It’s a fresh dairy option from pasture-raised cows, so you know where it comes from. If you’re comparing dairy choices, use your own needs and preferences as the guide.

Some customers use that phrase because raw milk is left in its natural state and keeps its full-fat, creamy profile. You’re getting milk from pasture-raised cows with minimal processing, which is a big part of the appeal. Simple, fresh, and straight-up dairy.

Raw milk offers a readily available source of immune-building nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, and C, as well as glutathione. Components in raw milk not only build the immune system but also inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria such as staph aureus and strep. Raw milk contains enzymes such as lg6 that inhibit Rotavirus infections associated with diarrhea in infants. Immune factors in milk such as lactoferrin, fatty acids, T-lymphocytes, antioxidants, and immune-modulatory peptides work to strengthen the immune system, increase cell mediated immune mechanisms, mobilize white blood cells, and stimulate specific antibodies. These factors are all destroyed by pasteurization.

Many studies have documented the ability of raw milk to prevent allergies.1,2,3,4,5 For example, a study of 4700 primary school children in Shropshire, England found that allergy-related conditions were reduced by half with just a few glasses of raw milk per week.2,8 Studies often find a positive effect on allergies from on-farm living, with some finding that raw milk consumption was the strongest factor for reducing allergies, whether the children lived on a farm or not.6 As far back as the 1800s, The Lancet reported on immune milk therapy to treat allergies.9
