A new bill is in the works that would allow raw milk to be sold at farmer's markets, farm stands, and to be delivered. Under current law raw milk can only be sold at the farm. I know for us that means driving at least 1 hour there and 1 hour back. And in my book that's a little difficult to add to our weekly excursions to say the least. That's why we have set up a milk co-op where we take turns driving out to the farm.
This law will help support local farms and in effect the local economy. And as an added bonus it allows the consumer easier access to real unprocessed food. Why do they make it so hard in the first place to get food that doesn't say General Mills or Nabisco on it?
