Welcome to Raw Dairy! The discussion of Raw Dairy Products can be very broad. Our list topics will will explore Raw Dairy, which encompasses health and nutrition, cows, goats, sheep, butter, cream. kefir, yogurt, cheese, whey, buttermilk and all the issues around these, including political, social and economic. SPECIAL NOTE: With regards to political discussions, this is not a place for presidential political campaigning. If the political post has to do with raw dairy directly, it is fine, otherwise please refrain from posting it as there are plenty of other forums for these kind of discussions. In addition, a few off-topic posts are fine as long as they are not inflammatory or divisive in nature, and as long as they are kept to a minimum.

We would like to include basic "how to" help and guidance in all aspects of producing raw dairy products, including recipes, examples cow share/boarding contracts, etc; And if you're a farmer looking for a way to make raw dairy products available to the public or if you're a consumer looking for raw dairy products, this is a common meeting place for all. Please, however, use caution in giving names and phone numbers of sources for raw dairy out publicly as in some states it is illegal to sell. If the farmer has given you permission or posts his contact information himself, then that is fine. If you are looking for a source for raw dairy, you might want to request the information from the list, then take the actual information transfer off-list. You may also try www.realmilk.com for sources or this link for WAPF chapter leaders who can help you:
