We want our market shoppers to be aware of the challenges facing small farmers. Much of the time, items like raw milk cheese are sold by "private treaty." Similarly, a few folks slaughter their animals on the farm. Instead of selling the meat, they technically sell the live animal and the shopper gives them permission to butcher it. .-= Jenny @ Nourished Kitchen´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/nourishedkitchen/~3/nj7xFwux8G8/" rel="nofollow">Reader Questions: GMO-free Infant Formula</a> =-.

I think it is shocking that this situation could drag on for 5 years. Will someone wake up and end this farmer's woes? John also told me in a phone conversation, as far as the safety issue, that when you add a culture to raw milk it produces lactic acid--and that pathogens can't survive an acidic environment. Just thought I would pass that along. Thanks so much John for documenting your plight for our readers. I think it is shocking that this situation could drag on for 5 years.
