Since 1998, RAW FARM has been making delicious, nutritious, and wholesome raw dairy products. One of our number one questions is, “What IS raw milk?” Allow us to explain!

WHAT IS PASTEURIZED MILK?

Before we get into what raw milk is, it’s important to understand what pasteurized milk is. What most people don’t realize is that most conventional milk in the marketplace is destroyed, heated, and damaged. It’s not what milk used to be…Additionally, there are many fortified milks that have added fillers and sweeteners.

Pasteurized milk products have been heated to extreme temperatures to kill the supposedly dangerous bacteria, which are actually present to help us! Bacteria and enzymes in raw foods assist us with digestion and bodily utilization. When milk is heated and pasteurized, these essential enzymes are destroyed, making it harder for the body to digest pasteurized milk products. This causes inflammation and often leads to digestion issues. However, raw dairy products easy to digest because they’ve never been heated or altered in any way. :)

SO, What is raw milk?

RAW FARM is deeply committed to the safe production of high-quality raw dairy products. We test our raw milk for safety rather than pasteurize it for food safety. 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).

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. As a plus, we recently started testing for heavy metals as of May 2021 and we can confirm that there are No Traces of Heavy Metals in RAW FARM raw dairy products.

WE ARE PROUD TO BE LEADERS FOR CHANGE AND HOPE TO INSPIRE OTHER DAIRY BRANDS TO FOLLOW IN THE #RAWGOODNESS MOVEMENT

TOP 5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAW MILK

Easy to Digest

This is one of the leading reasons why people choose raw milk. Nowadays, many people are even making milk in their homes from plant-based products like nuts and seeds because the pasteurized milk and milk products in grocery stores cause so many issues among consumers. Thankfully, you’re not going to have those negative reactions with RAW FARM Whole Raw Milk. 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 milk is filled with amazing heart-healthy raw fat. Our cows seasonally grass graze on luscious pasture, making their milk high quality and top notch. Our bodies need healthy fats to nourish our cells; in fact, nearly every single cell in our body is composed of saturated animal fat!

3. Naturally rich in CLA & Omega-3 fatty acids

CLA is abundant in dairy products from grass-fed animals. Our cows enjoy a healthy snack feed in addition to the pasture that is very high in protein and other essential nutrients, making their milk the same. Learn more about how we keep our cows happy and healthy here.

4. Naturally rich in vitamins and minerals

Because raw milk is unprocessed, all of the nutrients are bioavailable and ready for your body to absorb them as they were bound in nature to do so. All of the vitamins and minerals are naturally found in raw milk. They are not added or synthetic, so you’re enjoying a complete and whole food.

5. Probiotic, Raw, & 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 confirmed safe for human consumption. Our team works hard every day to make sure our cows are healthy and that we handle the raw milk with the ultimate care so you have the most nutrient-dense, probiotic, tested, bioavailable, delicious raw dairy products possible!
