ABOUT OUR TESTING PROGRAM
Under our Test & Hold Protocol, we test for E. coli O157: H7, Coliforms, Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Standard Plate Count. Our family-owned business believes there is power in numbers and that is why we work closely every single day with our regulators and inspectors. As part of our plan, all milk from each day is assigned a unique “Lot ID", which provides accurate tracking of all milk batches. This allows us to efficiently connect our milk batches to all test results.
We proudly meet and EXCEED all required California state testing and #dodairydifferent with our unique Test & Hold Protocol. Our protocol is a three (3) step testing process that starts at the dairy (milking) level and ends with the final product (creamery).
WE ARE PROUD TO BE LEADERS FOR CHANGE AND HOPE TO INSPIRE OTHER DAIRY BRANDS TO FOLLOW IN THE #RAWGOODNESS MOVEMENT.
HOW IT WORKS:
DREAM IT
It all begins with an idea to keep the cows grazing and the milk raw. A bold idea when it came to us, but we have learned how to be skilled raw dairymen. Grass-grazing is a focal point at RAW FARM. All year long, we maintain our pastures through sustainable practices. Our cows are milked in our open-concept modern milk barn, then the milk it is sent to be tested and held. We hold our raw milk in holding tanks and WAIT. Waiting is the key because once it is approved for our high food safety protocols and standards, it is sent to be bottled and artisan crafted into the products you love.
TEST IT
Raw milk is one of the easiest foods to digest. Your body knows EXACTLY how to digest it and absorb the wonderful nutrients. When you drink unprocessed, raw milk your body will thrive. This complete food will give your body the much-needed vital nutrition it needs to become strong and healthy. Enzymes, probiotics, healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and calcium are just some of the noted essential nutrients found of plenty in whole raw milk. We know that, so leaving our products RAW is our highest priority, that is why we test our raw products vs. process or heat treat (pasteurize).
ENJOY IT
Once our fluid raw milk has passed our food safety testing, the milk goes to our skilled employees, to make raw whole milk, raw heavy cream, raw butter, raw cheese, raw kefir, and pet food. This is literally grass to glass. Raw Dairy Products are simply that- products made from milk that is unprocessed, tested, whole and living, with all of its nutrient-dense probiotic bacteria. You can experience raw milk with the ease of knowing that we have tested our products for your safety. Enjoy our entire product line!
