You also have to understand that all the milk that you buy in the store that is not raw milk is subsidized to the farmer by the government. Raw milk is not, and the cost of production is a lot more than the milk in the store reflects. It also takes a lot more work to produce raw milk by the farmer because they have to actually make sure they are collecting milk in a clean fashion because it is not going to be pasteurized to get rid of all the contaminated products that get into the system because they are not selling it raw.

I have been out there several years ago to buy cheese. They had their farm running and then closed for a while. They just recently re-opened. They had brown Swiss cows at that time – the cows are not from Switzerland, but brown Swiss is a particular breed of cows. They may have a few other cows of different breeds as well, but brown Swiss cows produce milk that is very good for making cheese.

Yes, they are legitimate. Their farm is on the Utah/Arizona border, and they are a small, but good source. I have partaken of their raw milk and have found it to be as good as, or better than, Redmond’s milk. Their cheeses are superb, also. I spoke to the owner, and am impressed with his honesty. They won’t specify on their products that they are 100% organic because they have to rely on trusted sources for hay; good sources, but the current federal laws are so draconian that they don’t dare take a chance of ANY slip-up. My take is is that they are a trustworthy source, for what it is worth to you. Have a good day.

Thanks for submitting your comment. For various reasons, some suppliers prefer not to have their information shared on this website. If you think they would like to be listed, please encourage them to email us at webmaster@realmilk.com in order to be included in the listings.

Hi, I’m one person on the east coast so I can’t personally check all the listings. They come from the farmers themselves or sometimes from consumers like you (though if a consumer suggests a farm, we track down the farmer to make sure they want to be listed). Farmers are asked to give a variety of basic information including contact info, type of animals milked and farming methods, and products available. We err on the side of listing anyone who can provide that information, and it’s up to consumers to alert us if farmers have not been truthful. We actually get VERY few complaints. If you are able to call again, or visit, and ask questions, perhaps directly of the farmer, if there’s a chance you were speaking to an assistant before, let me know what you find out. Thanks.
