Raw Milk Production: Safety and benefits
Charlotte Smith - Champoeg Creamery for Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund
Charlotte Smith's dynamic and engaging talk covers how and why her family started and now maintains a successful, sustainable raw milk dairy. She touches on how pasteurization came to be and why, with today's technology and proper training, we can work toward having a pool of safe raw milk for everyone in America! She addresses the safety of raw milk production on the micro-dairy level, including some key things for both consumers and producers to look for. She also delves into the "Why raw milk?" question, reviewing all the beneficial enzymes and the new medical paradigm that embraces healing probiotics (supported by specific stories of healing from several of her longtime customers). She covers how raw milk benefits the small farm. Raw milk is a product that gets people to your farm each week, so you can build from there, offering other products to an audience that already trusts you. She will also demonstrate making fromage blanc from raw milk. It's so easy, anyone can do it ... and it's full of beneficial enzymes and probiotics. (They're tasty and good for you!)
