So I know a guy who knows a guy that sells raw milk. I am curious what Poal's take on it is. I know people that drink it and use the cream off the top and say the only disadvantage is it doesn't last as long as pasteurized milk.

But at the same time mainstream take is you have a chance of getting sick from it. The obvious response to that is people drank raw milk for thousands of years before pasteurization but then again also people got sick and died younger back then too.

I don't really have much skin in the game as the only reason I have milk at all is to add it to my scrambled eggs. Just wondering if any Poalrs drink raw milk.

I’ve consumed raw milk for at least the last 10 years. There is so much great health benefit by doing this it is hard to enumerate.

Yes- Look for a quality source. In many states there are buying groups who supply and monitor quality.

To keep the milk fresh keep it cold and keep light and oxygen from it. Think about the common treatment of milk- Buy a one gallon plastic jug and place it in refrigerator pouring it from that container until it is gone or goes bad. Alternatively I buy raw A2 milk in a glass half gallon or glass gallon jar. It is kept cold by the farmer and the supplier/middle man. I keep it in a cooler for ride home from drop site (this is good practice for any kind of food requiring refrigeration.). Once at home I transfer it into glass quart jars I previously set in the refrigerator so they are pre-cooled. I fill to the top and cap them allowing very little if any air space; even if I have to top up with filtered water. One of those quarts gets a lid with a flip top on it. I expect the unopened and topped up jars of milk to last 2 weeks in 38f refrigeration.
