Raw milk has it’s own in-built protective mechanisms; no need to pasteurize it, that defeats the purpose. Even if the dairy is a bit ‘dirty’, the milk will be better than pasteurised/homogenised milk. Just need to find out what the cow are fed (grass/grain), & any antibiotics used, etc.

Hi Nessa,
I’m interested in buying your raw ewes milk and raw ewes milk cream. I understand you are in Goulburn. I am in Canberra every Monday and Tuesday and live in Sydney the rest of the time. I’m not a retailer, just want the stuff for home so it would not be huge amounts at a time. Is this do-able?
Cheers, Tomás. Email: tomasflamenco@gmail.com

If you are looking for unpasteurised milk in Canberra, the ‘Cleopatra’s’ brand is available at a place in Griffith named Mountain Creek Wholefoods. It costs $7.60 for two litres.

I read with great amusement about Jersey Milk, Holstein Friesian milk etc…..

I am a dairy farmer in Timboon Victoria, we are not allowed to supply raw milk to the public, part of our dairy licence (all dairy farmers in Victoria)

My husband drinks heaps of unpasterised milk & has for all his 43 years & has no ill affects from it….

We currently milk predominately Holstein Friesian cows (black & white) the farm used to have an all Jersey herd (lil golden cows) & also Brown swiss….the components, which is the % of butterfat & protein in the milk is what we get paid for not the litres produced, & depending on the diet of ANY breed of cow we have found they all produce good, healthy milk with great components (butterfat & protein)…

If anyone knows how we can supply milk to the general public without falling foul of our licence we will happily supply anyone with clean cows milk…..Yes its better than the “vat wash” you buy in the supermarkets!

I have been searching for a retailer of raw milk in Sydney’s west for six months and I’ve just found a supplier almost at my door! Their name is Abundant Organics at Emu Plains and they deliver it all over Sydney. You do have to order it in but they seem to have it each week that I’ve been down there.

A question re pasturisation
We are living in China and (for obvious reasons) I am really not keen to use local shop-bought milk and so have been paying a huge amount for imported NZ milk. I have recently been offered the option of getting some real milk direct from a local farmer (and therefore I am assured, not likely to have had contaminants such as melamine added!) It is not a big commercial herd, but rather a small farmer. However I cannot easily view the set up myself, so I am not comfortable to drink the milk without pasturising it in some manner. Do you know whether heating up to 70 degrees loses less of the goodness than heating to 100 degrees? (I have read that the former is considered satisfactory for killing the bugs if done for 15 seconds)
Thanks!

Hi, I am very interested in purchasing raw milk - Tahlee could you please email me the details of your dairy? Address is ana@anageorge.com

If anyone else has info on raw cow, sheep or goat milk please let me know! I had my first taste of Aphrodite raw milk recently and it was incredible. I would like to get it straight from the farm myself as I don’t like plastic packaging + the milk distribution process.

Thanks in advance.
