Raw Milk Interview~ Answering your questions

In April, we had another opportunity to host another special guest, like so many we've had in our furnished Tents here at the ranch.

We had several wonderful conversations with Sridevi, a health coach from Florida and really enjoyed getting to know her while she was here.

​Recently, Sridevi asked if she could interview us about raw milk and had some excellent questions, that I think might be helpful, or interesting to you as well.

I've also added some answers to additional questions below, so you can check that out below the video.

Here are some tips on how to keep your milk fresh longer, along with some other answers to questions we've received.  

1. Your raw milk will stay fresh longer if you keep it around 37 degrees.  The coldest place in your refrigerator is the bottom shelf in most cases.​
2. Your raw milk should last 2 weeks unopened when kept cold and unopened, and may last longer.
3. Once you've opened your raw milk, it should stay fresh up to a week, as long as it is not open to the air and placed quickly back in the refrigerator after using it.
4. Raw cream will have a shorter shelf life, because it is collected after the milk separates
5. Raw yogurt usually lasts 3 to 4 weeks when kept in the same conditions.
6. Your raw butter is frozen and lightly salted with Himalayan sea salt.  It does best when kept in the fridge while you're using it.  If you decide to keep it at room temperature, just remember that it will sour much faster.

While there are so many different personal reasons our customers have chosen to drink raw pasture-fed milk, there are a few common ones we hear about.  A few of those are:

• difficulty with digestion
• need for increased calcium and magnesium
• pain relief during illness, or back pain
• colonizing the gut with beneficial bacteria
• Immune improving diet when healing after cancer 
• teeth remineralization
• diets for weight loss and body healing.

If you think of any other questions, that I haven't answered here or in the video, please just email me.  I'd love to answer them for you.
