HOW RAW DAIRY PRODUCTS ARE HELPFUL FOR RECOVERING VEGANS
Raw milk does the body good, especially for recovering vegans and vegetarians whose bodies are in desperate need of the vital nutrients found in animal products like raw milk. Raw milk is a whole and complete food, full of bioavailable healthy gut-supporting bacteria, Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, healthy fats, good cholesterol, proteins, enzymes needed to digest all of these wonderful nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Yes! Raw milk is the first food of life, making it literally a life-giving food. Everything the body needs to thrive is in raw dairy. Important nutrients like Vitamin B12, Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Vitamin F, and cholesterol are absent on a vegan diet. Overtime, this may cause long-term vegans to become malnourished. The good news is, the body is amazing, and restorative. It can repair itself overtime when given the right nutrients and the proper care. Here’s how raw dairy products can be extremely helpful for recovering vegans and vegetarians.
What ARE RAW DAIRY PRODUCTS?

At RAW FARM, our Raw Dairy Products are unprocessed and complete with beneficial bacteria, CLA & Omega-3 fatty acids, the good kind of cholesterol, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Our truly happy cows seasonally graze on lush, green pasture. Absolutely NO antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or GMO anything. Customers with lactose sensitivities have a delicious, nutritious, and natural alternative in this unaltered, wholesome product. The ease of digestibility of raw milk often gives those that experience discomfort with processed dairy products, a delicious and natural option (isn’t that amazing).
On the other hand, most milk sold in stores is pasteurized (heated) and homogenized (crushed). Pasteurization is done by heating the milk to very high temperatures which destroy, damage, and denature the wonderful nutrients and beneficial bacteria found in raw milk, while homogenization breaks the fat globules into tiny pieces so that it is the rich, white color and smooth texture that we're used to. This process prevents cream from rising to the top and saves you the step of mixing the cream back into the milk yourself before drinking it. But then you lose the lovely cream line! We love how our fresh raw milk has a natural color (due to seasonal grass-grazing) and a thick cream line. Raw milk that comes from healthy cows and whose milk has been tested for food safety is absolutely the best!
Raw dairy products can be made into dreamy heart-healthy raw butter (our ex-vegans favorite), delicious heavy raw cream for coffee or ice cream, super-probiotic raw kefir, and truly raw cheddar cheese. That’s the most wonderful thing about raw milk- you can make an ENDLESS number of raw recipes with it! (We encourage you to do so, too. Check out our recipes for inspiration). 😉
Due to Federal Regulations, we are only able to sell raw milk, raw cream, raw butter, and raw kefir in the state of California. GREAT NEWS, we are allowed to sell our Raw Cheddar Cheese and Pet Food Raw Kefir for your pet to many states outside CA. Find a selling location near you here.
We have many tantalizing recipes available on our website that teach you how to make raw sour cream, raw farmer’s cheese, raw milk ice cream, raw kefir smoothies, and more. Check them out here!
DAILY MEAL IDEAS FOR RECOVERING VEGANS
So, if you’re a recovering Vegan, what are the best foods to eat? We often see that many “ex-vegans” go straight into the carnivore diet, or an animal-based way of eating. Some of the most nutrient dense foods include meat, organ meats, raw dairy products, eggs, and fruit. Having a diet based on those commodities will surely do your body good and steadily restore your health. As a recovering vegan, it’s important you revive your body by including high quality animal proteins and healthy fats in every meal.
Breakfast ideas:
Organic steel cut oats cooked with raw milk. Topped with fresh fruit, organic granola, raw heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of raw butter.
Organic sourdough toast with loads of raw butter and avocado.
Toast with raw honey butter
Scrambled eggs with raw cheddar cheese, bacon, and avocado.
Lunch ideas:
Salad with grilled chicken and raw kefir dressing
Beef stir-fry cooked in grass fed raw butter
Raw milk or raw kefir smoothie
Carnivore raw milk ice cream
Dinner ideas:
Grass-fed burgers with jalapeño raw cheddar cheese
Steak, raw butter, and creamy raw cheddar mashed potatoes
Suggested to have Whole Raw Milk daily.
SUMMARY:
All in all, we find that people go Vegan for 3 main reasons: personal health (the perception that being vegan is healthier), environmental concerns, and animal welfare reasons, (which we fully understand, based off of the practices of some of the conventional dairy industry). Most conventional dairies take very good care of their cows, but the ones who don’t tarnish the industry. But here at RAW FARM, we assure you that our cows live healthfully and happily as nature intended, grazing on lush pasture seasonally, with room to live like cows prefer to live. You can watch a lovely video of them grazing here. When you choose RAW FARM raw dairy products, you are choosing a product that supports a sustainable method of farming, cows that are treated wonderfully, and a product that is truly amazing for your body. Restore your health with the help of nutrient-dense raw dairy products. Give your body life again.
