Raw Milk: The Gateway to Small Farm Prosperity
Meg Cattell, DVM
Format: Audio
Supermarkets strategically place the dairy section in the back of the store to stimulate sales of other grocery items. Consumers that "just come in for a gallon of milk" find they leave with a shopping cart full of diverse items. The popularity of raw milk makes it a great drawing card for new farm customers and can be leveraged into larger sales if the farmer has a diverse product line. Some farmers find that cross pollination works the other way too - purchasers of grass-fed meat, often becoming purchasers of raw milk. The secret is - get the animals on pasture, scale back in size and increase depth of product line to create sustainable farm prosperity. Windsor Dairy did just that. They transitioned their 500-cow dairy selling bulk certified organic milk into a diversified grass-fed and primarily direct-to-consumer operation. They now operate a cow-share & goat-share and offer a wide array of meat and stock, cheese and other dairy products to their expanding customer/shareholder base.

You Never Sell Raw Milk…. You Teach It!!
Mark McAfee
Format: Video and Slides
Raw Milk Mission One….  You Teach… You Teach… You Teach! Yes farmers, that means especially you!!  Most farmers have lost the skills to educate or communicate with groups of people. Success in raw milk production will mean a new interest and new skills to allow for  directly communicating your message to the final end consumer. That means passion, an open heart, unveiling the secrets of natures nourishing traditions, attacking the false media campaigns of the FDA and Corporate interests, digging up new interesting studies and data, leaving the farm to find and speak with your consumers. It means taking some risks, it may even mean picking a well thought out fight. It means being different than all the other farmers and taking a different path to a bright new future…all alone with your team and  with your consumers…consumers that love and respect you for your product flavor, and your demonstrated dedication and commitment to their personal health.

Raw Milk Consumption From a European Perspective
Ton Baars, PhD, Gianaclis Caldwell, Ted Beals, MD, Pete Kennedy, Esq.
Format: Audio & Slides
Raw milk consumption from a European perspective: state of the art of the latest insights on raw milk studies in relation to asthma, allergies and atopic disorders. Consumption of raw milk and raw milk products during pregnancy by the mother as well in early life by the child strongly reduces the presence of asthma and allergies in the newborn. Although strict hygienically produced raw milk meant for direct consumption is sold legally in several European countries, scientists and official health bodies advise that raw milk should be avoided by young children, pregnant women and elderly people who have a weakened immune system. This advice is counterproductive and based on the assumption that zero risks exist in life. The answer is to develop analytical methods which differentiate raw milk quality, its bacteriology and its origin.
