This incredible raw milk video below features Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures Dairy in California, one of the nation’s largest and most reputable raw milk producers. Organic Pastures’ raw milk is sold all over California on grocery store shelves.
I have had the privilege of having Mark in my home for dinner and he is one of the most inspiring (not to mention hilarious and fun) people I have ever met. Take a look at this video in which Mark explains the huge and critical difference between raw milk produced “clean and green” from healthy cows on pasture and the pus filled raw milk from unhealthy cows (with chronic mastitis .. that is where all the pus comes from, by the way) living in mud and manure – this is the raw milk headed for the pasteurization plants and the stuff the FDA would have you believe is safe to drink instead of the clean and green raw milk.

The Never Ending Challenges Facing Our Local Farmers
I used to drink this brand of milk, but stopped because I didn’t feel well on it at all. A knowledgeable friend who drinks raw milk told me she thinks it is flash pasteurized because her daughter also can only drink raw milk, and not this one. Hmmm. Could this also be like raw juice bars?
Would you say that raw milk from a cow that eats about 85% grass would be a safe raw milk to drink? The cows also have access to soybeans that are grown on the farm (no GMO’s) and silage. I have just moved to a new area and am trying to find a good place to get milk. I have contacted my WAPF leader and she lives over an hour from me, but said someone else in this WAP group gets milk from this source I described above.
Soy spikes estrogen so I personally would steer clear.
Cows happily grazing on pasture is such a calming, peaceful sight, I agree. Such a contrast to the cow concentration camps featured in this video!
