FIND RAW MILK Back in the 1970s, a couple of blokes were sitting in an English pub, bemoaning the consolidation of the brewing industry in England and the decline of British beer and ale. A commodity that represented the soul of Britain carefully brewed lagers from countless small-scale manufacturers, each with a distinctive color and taste had been edged out by the insipid canned beers of a few large monopolistic breweries. What was needed, they decided, was a return to traditional brewing methods. They launched A Campaign for Real Ale, which soon became the force that turned back the mega-brewers and reinstated varied and delicious ales to English tables and pubs.

Back in the 20s, Americans could buy fresh raw whole milk, real clabber and buttermilk, luscious naturally yellow butter, fresh farm cheeses and cream in various colors and thicknesses. Today's milk is accused of causing everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer, but when Americans could buy Real Milk, these diseases were rare. In fact, a supply of high quality dairy products was considered vital to American security and the economic well being of the nation. organicpastures.com

ORGANIC PASTURES DAIRY was founded on a simple principle: care for our cows and the environment, and our milk will be the highest quality. The herd grazes on certified organic pasture. The cows eat only organic feeds. Unlike conventional dairies, no antibiotics or hormones disrupt the cows' health.

Organic Pastures Dairy Company is California"s first certified organic, pasture-grazed raw milk dairy. The dairy was founded in 2000 as an extension of an organic farming operation that has been in operation since 1988 as McAfee Farms. The family-owned and operated dairy is located near Fresno, California in the heart of the fertile San Joaquin Valley.

The dairy produces Grade A raw milk using an innovative mobile milking Parlor, which moves to where the cows are grazing. This unique design eliminates the need for cows to walk long distances on concrete and through manure-filled pens to be milked. The Company has been recognized repeatedly in independent NFO (National Farmers Organization) tests as having the best milk taste of the organic dairies surveyed. The decentralized milking system was invented by Organic Pastures Dairy Company's founder, Mark McAfee. For ordering and info call 877-RAW-MILK (729-6455), organicpastures.com
