WHAT IS: RAW KEFIR?
Kefir, pronounced kee-feer, is a fermented drink made from raw milk. RAW FARM Whole Raw Kefir is made by culturing our whole raw milk with 12 specialized bacteria colonies (in addition to the bio-diverse colonies of beneficial bacteria naturally found in our raw milk). It is cultured (fermented) for 36-48 hours to achieve a pH of approximately 3.8. RAW FARM Whole Raw Kefir is deliciously smooth and very drinkable! Raw Kefir contains special prebiotics that feed and protect gut bacteria. (It’s the bacteria’s food!)

HOW DOES RAW KEFIR TASTE COMPARED TO RAW MILK?
If you’ve had our raw milk before, you know that it is rich, sweet, and delicious. Sometimes I like to compare it to drinking a vanilla milkshake. 😉 Many of our customers didn’t care too much for drinking milk until they tried our RAW MILK! Your body knows exactly what it needs and will crave the nutrient-dense properties found in raw milk. Sometimes, your body may crave different forms of raw dairy, such as raw kefir. Because raw kefir is fermented, it has a sour, tart taste, with a subtle hint of sweetness. Many people enjoy raw kefir on its own, while others prefer to have it in combination with other foods, like a raw kefir smoothie or using raw kefir as a substitute in recipes (it can easily be swapped for sour cream or buttermilk). Definitely give raw kefir a try. Your gut will thank you. Raw milk is a natural probiotic, while raw kefir is a SUPER probiotic, since it is made from raw milk then cultured with 12 additional specialized bacteria colonies. This makes raw kefir an amazing food for improving digestion and building a healthy gut. Often times, those with severe dairy intolerances to pasteurized dairy products choose to opt for raw kefir first to get a head start on improving their gut microbiome.
*** Helpful hint for those new to raw dairy products or have a weakened or damaged gut microbiome: introduce raw milk or kefir slowly into your diet. This will allow your body to gently improve your overall gut health, slowly and steadily. Drinking too much too quickly may cause stomach upset.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAW KEFIR
1.Easy to digest
This is one of the leading reasons why people choose raw milk products over processed milk products. It’s important to remember that before there was pasteurized milk, there was only raw milk. Our company focuses on bringing the traditional raw milk experience back in a safe, reliable, delicious, and nutritious way.
2. Rich in raw & healthy fats
Our raw kefir is filled with amazing heart-healthy raw fat. Our cows proudly graze on grass seasonally, making their milk high quality and top notch. Our bodies need healthy fats to nourish our cells. In fact, every single cell in our body is composed of saturated fat!
3. Naturally rich in CLA & Omega-3 fatty acids
CLA ( Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is higher in dairy products from grass-fed cows than cows who never enjoy pasture grazing. Our cows also enjoy a small amount of supplemental feed to ensure they get plenty of protein, carbohydrates, and other important nutrients to keep their bodies healthy and strong. In turn, they produce healthy raw milk! Learn more about how we keep our cows happy and healthy here.
4. Naturally rich in vitamins and minerals
Because raw kefir is unprocessed, all of the nutrients are bioavailable, meaning they are ready for your body to absorb, as nature intended! Nothing added or synthetic, so you’re enjoying a complete and whole food.
5. SUPER Probiotic, Raw, & Safety Tested
As mentioned before, our products are tested for food safety. Not a single batch of raw milk leaves our farm until it has been tested for pathogens. Our team works hard every day to make sure our cows are healthy, and we handle our raw milk with the ultimate care, so you have the most nutrient-dense, probiotic, tested, and delicious raw dairy products possible! Plus, raw kefir is a SUPER probiotic. It has 12 specialized bacteria colonies (in addition to the bio-diverse colonies of beneficial bacteria naturally found in our raw milk)! Wow, your gut will LOVE this one!!!
