Milk
Author: jen
Tomorrow I get to pick up my first week of raw milk. One luscious, creamy gallon a week. I’ll probably need some help consuming all that milk. Neighbors- look forward to milk!

If you have never tried raw milk, it is incredibly different than pasteurized and/or homogenized milk. The only way I can describe it is, raw milk tastes alive and fresh. You could compare the differences between pasteurized and unpasteurized orange juice. The food loses something in the heating process.
There are many health benefits for drinking raw milk. Link to rawmilk.org and The Campaign for Real Milk.

Below is a link to an article explaining how big Ag business in connected to increasing economic disaster. High production farms rely on petroleum for their fertilizers and oil to transport their products. When oil production continues to decline, and prices increase again this will have major consequences for consumers. The time is now to invest in creating more local organic food sources.
