What is Raw Milk?
Raw milk means not processed.
Not processed literally means it has never been put through a heating (pasteurization) treatment, the butterfat has not been broken up (homogenized), or standardized (adding or taking away components). Because RAW FARM raw milk isn’t processed, it is the perfect food to receive all the nutrients needed to keep you healthy. All of its many beneficial nutrients are 100 percent (%) bio-available and ready to help your body stay healthy. Raw milk can be made into a wide variety of delicious foods and beverages, such as raw butter, heavy raw cream, raw kefir, and raw cheese. In your home kitchen, you can make raw sour cream, raw kefir cheese, flavored raw butter, chocolate raw milk, raw whipped cream, raw kefir smoothies, and more!

HOW RAW FARM MAKES THE BEST RAW MILK IN AMERICA
Proud to Be Non-GMO Project Approved
Being Non-GMO Project Approved allows us to have extremely high standards. Our Certified Humane (herd) protocols give us the verification that we are also treating our herd with the utmost kindness and respect. We installed an on-farm GMO testing lab, which allows us to test all purchased feed for the presence of GMOs, which includes Roundup (Glyphosate) and other herbicide-resistant residues.
Our ability to test and verify Non-GMO was a very high priority for our company. We are also proud to buy local feed, therefore greatly reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption.
We continue to follow sustainable practices by pasture grazing our cows year-round on our luscious, nutrient-dense green pastures. We grow a lot of our supplemental feed on our farm, and we never use antibiotics or hormones and use homeopathic therapies. Any off-farm feed is tested and verified Non-GMO.
The health of our soils, the welfare of our cows, and producing superior quality safe raw dairy products are our highest priority. We are very proud to lead the world in raw milk food safety with our test and hold policy and we are honored to be your farmer.

So, what nutrients are found in raw milk?
RAW FARM raw milk has three (3) important macronutrients. What are macronutrients? Macronutrients are Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrates that provide us energy. You need large (hence the name “macro”) amounts of these macronutrients to maintain your body functions. Let’s break it down.
Main Macros Found In Raw Milk:
Protein
Protein allows your body to grow, build, and repair tissues and muscles.
Fat
Your body needs good fats to store energy, protect your organs by providing a cushion, absorb fat-soluble vitamins, and make certain hormones.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is the main source of energy for your body. This energy provides fuel for your brain and can even help synthesize amino acids (protein building blocks). Our raw milk is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates (good carbs).
In addition to the 3 macronutrients found in our raw milk, our milk has many other important nutrients that keep your immune system strong and your body functioning.
Gut-healthy bacteria
Our raw milk contains many diverse gut-healthy bacteria. Diverse bacteria in your gut is responsible for 70-80 percent of your immune function. WOW! Without a healthy amount of diverse bacteria in your gut, your immune system can’t operate to its highest potential.
Vitamins and minerals
Our raw milk contains an alphabet of vitamins: A, B, D, E, and K plus Vitamins and minerals regulate your metabolism and protects against illness and strengthens our bones. Speaking of Minerals, raw milk is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Good Stuff!
Enzymes
Our raw milk contains important enzymes that aid in digestion and metabolize (breakdown) nutrients. Lipase, breaks down fat, lactase metabolizes carbohydrates, and Alkaline Phosphatase is abundant in raw milk to help absorbing calcium just to name a few.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol has an unfair bad wrap. Did you know cholesterol is in every cell of your body and is needed to protect and repair the cells in your body? Raw milk contains good cholesterol HDL: (High-Density Lipoprotein).
