We get 3 gallons of raw milk a week for our family of 5 (going on 6).  It tastes very different from ultra-pasterized store milk, especially the cream quantity and quality.

In VA we get "milk shares" in order for it to be legal.  Basically, you own a share of the cow.
How much does it cost? I can get 2 liters for $18 AUD ($12 USD) so it's pricey...

We have our own dairy cows, we used to do herdshares for 46 families! Now we have 9 families and at the end of the month we are dropping all of them. It is so much work hence the price. A gallon is $9 when we started we were at $7.50, it’s break even, definitely not an income producer which we were hoping for so my husband wouldn’t have to work off the farm. Raw milk is the best!

For anyone wondering a gallon is ~4.5 Litre

I am looking forward to trying it in the coming weeks. Does anyone here have experience drinking raw milk?
I do and it is fantastic. The taste and health benefits are amazing. You need to be exercising because if you are sedentary, you can gain some weight.

I tried it once.  It didn’t bother me.  It tasted much better too.  I’m lactose intolerant. 

I keep telling my husband that we need is only one milking cow.  He grew up with dairy cows and grew grains and veggies. (He doesn’t miss them.)

Milk and honey.  maybe sheep or goat milk.
