    My goodness, how many live at your house? I saw all the boots on porch and the bench. Surely, the owners keep them cleaned, everyday. Especially, keep the spiders out. I'm sure your grandmother appreciated the linoleum. Back in the day, pine floors were scrubbed and washed everyday to keep down germs, bacteria and the mice population. Haha.

    Its funny but the few times I've seen raw milk in a store, the "warning" label might as well a skull and crossbones! But not tbe highly processed stuff. Go figure. The other scare tactic I've seen is: it will make you fat and clog your arteries. I used to use oatmilk but have gone to your raw milk. The only things that have seriously impacted my health was artificial sweeteners. I switched to raw honey, maple syrup and stevia leaves (for tea) and that cleared up all the liver problems. My battle with junk food and not exercising enough are on me and something I'm working on. The raw milk isn't to blame lol!

    Is it bad to drink/eat unpasteurized dairy products while pregnant? This is what all OBGYN practices are telling me at LVHN, although they have no problem with giving me any type of vaccines apparently. It just does not make sense to me.

      Hi. We can't give you medical advice but that's what I drink when I'm expecting. If your body is used to it already and you've done your own research, you get to make your own choices.

    I remember snow fencing laced through our farm fields growing up. They worked! I learned a lot in this video, how much work and effort it takes to produce excellent raw milk. My favorite part is your description of how the bull spends his time---eating, resting, and ruminating...and testing out snow fencing as a back scratcher!
