How much does it cost? I can get 2 liters for $18 AUD ($12 USD) so it's pricey...
The prices went up recently.  Currently the rate is $6 per half gallon.  So, we spend $36 per week for our 3 gallons.

Sally Falon has a cookbook called "Nourishing Traditions" which we have used for many years.  It has recipes for fermenting foods, making cheese and other natural foods.  Sometimes there are sales to buy the book.  Here is a link for one at the price of $15:

Link isn't working. 🤦‍♀️

Here is a picture of the book though.

Rather than comparing to the price of the lower-quality typical product, it helps to consider cost in terms of tradeoffs and the real value of what you're getting.

With raw milk, the benefits would be superior nutrition and stamina, plus giving support to local farmers so they can continue in an adverse market.

There's the saying, "Pay the farmer now or pay the pharmacist later." (Though I'd avoid the pharmacist completely if possible. :laugh1:)
Well, said!  My husband finds that raw milk helps with his acid reflux.  Store milk which is ultrapasturized (even when organic and whole) makes him sick when he drinks it.  

I have a friend whose 1 year old baby won't drink store milk but yesterday my friend let her try some of our raw cow's milk and the baby loved it!

Your children are very blessed to have parents who try to give them a healthy diet.
My father grew up on a farm, he said that they would always boil the raw milk first as it wasn't healthy and was too strong (can give diarrhoea) and that humans need human milk not cow milk. How do you consume the milk? I am unsure if he is right or wrong.
I know that a lot of people develop some sort of intolerance for milk as they age.

I use to drink milk normally. In the last two or three years I have developed a severe intolerance. I cannot even eat a slice of cake or drink a small mug of milk that I have cold sweats and terrible diarrhea.

I used to love eating pizza, but it's not really pizza if you take out the cheese of it.:fryingpan:

If you get a cow the average one produces 6-7 gallons a day by the way

***Canadian speaking***
Here it is "illegal" but there are ways to obtain it. My wife grew up on a dairy farm so doesn't want to drink anything pasteurized. We have a local farmer who sells grass fed/finished dairy and beef, amazing. My wife is Dutch, and I have half-Dutch kids, and if you know anything about the Dutch ... they drink a LOT of milk! We do 8 gallons a week! We buy for $10/gallon, so a healthy portion of our food budget is high-quality, raw milk.
