I'm sure most of you have already devoured your latest issue of MJF (the Aug/Sept 2010 one.) I LOVED both articles on raw milk and on grass fed beef!
Thank you Mary Jane for always telling it like it is! People need to know these things. Every time I walk into a grocery store and see someone's cart loaded down with meats and milk (along with their other groceries) I want to stop them and ask, "Do you really know what you are putting into your body??" But the fear of having my head ripped off has always stopped me. ;)
How many other farmgirls here drink raw milk and eat meat knowing exactly where it came from?

We do Heather :)
We love raw milk and I cannot believe the difference it has with tummy issues for us :) We get beef and lamb from local ranchers that we know and it is amazing the difference in taste (and cost). In fact we should be getting our half a cow the week after next :)

I think you know I have goats and drink raw straight from the goat milk. Also raw cow milk when the girls are dried up. I also raise all our meat here. Or if I am out I buy from a few farms in Tn. I have 9 Bourbon Red turkey poults and am going to order meat chicks in a few weeks. Also some lambs and a few pigs. Plus Mazie the heifer is about a month pregnant so will have a calf about March or April. But that will be at least 2 1/2 years before it will be ready for the freezer. So I am looking for a bottle calf to feed some of this goat milk to.
I am very pro raw milk and grass fed. I am so glad there are so many people who are too.

We are raw milk drinkers (thru co-op)& buy grassfed/ organic beef from an amish man thru a local co-op also. We are looking for local grass fed chicken, hunting wild turkeys & hogs, & trying to find a local who doesn't feed out their cattle w/ gmo grain! It's hard down here...we have die hard "organic, local, green" folks, but our community is very much conventional mass farming. When you buy produce "local" around here, unless it's from certain small farms or a home garden, it is most definately pesticide-laden, nitrogen gassed, hybrid breed stuff. We missed our spring garden, due to moving, but can't wait for fall! We also got 7 new pullets for eggs (we hope to sell some), and maybe we can find a place to house a few cows (including dairy?)by winter. One can dream...

I would much prefer to have raw milk but don't have it available to me right now. We used to have a dairy close but the new (15 years ago or so) insurance regulations in the state made it cost-prohibitive for them to stay in business. It does make a huge difference with your digestion - I buy raw cheese a lot, I sell a lot of raw milk cheeses too. We have grass-fed beef in our freezer too and I won't go back:)

I raise my own beef cattle, plus I have a dairy cow too. One of my G/sons spent the night at a school friends house, but called home for food, cause he said it was all funny looking, smelling and tasteing, and he could not eat.
