Numerous medical organizations take a stance against the consumption of raw milk. Their reasoning is that raw milk can harbor harmful pathogens and offers no advantages over pasteurized milk. Nevertheless, these assertions are outdated and contradict the latest peer-reviewed and internationally published studies.
The reason for raw milk’s negative reputation is that there are two types of raw milk! Raw milk that is intended for pasteurization is quite different than raw milk produced for direct human consumption.
It is true that raw milk produced as “intended for pasteurization” is generally unsanitary and unsafe to consume raw. Such milk is being produced in conditions where animal health is compromised, antibiotics are utilized, hormones are used to stimulate higher levels of milk production, there is an abundance of manure, and there is a corresponding high rate of pathogens. This type of raw milk is clearly high risk and unsafe to consume.
However, raw milk that is carefully and intentionally produced for direct human consumption is a low-risk food with superb nutritional benefits. Fresh Flow Farm is a RAWMI listed farm. We did receive training and have met rigorous standards for producing clean, safe raw milk by developing: (1) a farm-specific Risk Analysis and Management Plan (RAMP), (2) testing daily for bacteria, (3) adhering to strict hygiene and management practices. This type of raw milk we offer is low risk and safe to consume.
Carefully produced raw milk has numerous health advantages over pasteurized milk. Whereas pasteurized milk is now recognized as a top food allergen and difficult to digest, raw milk is actually a health-supporting food with rich therapeutic potential and is easily digested by most consumers.
Like breastmilk, raw milk is a living whole food which provides excellent nutrition along with health-supporting enzymes and probiotics. Raw milk is a super food and has a superior nutrient profile, whereas pasteurized milk has diminished nutrition with denatured proteins and fats.
People who are lactose intolerant can often consume raw milk with no maldigestion, due to the presence of a variety of living bacteria which facilitate production of lactase enzyme in the intestines.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that raw milk is correlated with decreased rates of asthma, allergies, eczema, otitis, fever, and respiratory infections. Raw milk also aids in recovery from antibiotic use, and provides many gut-healthy probiotics and enzymes.
Many individuals consume raw milk due to its numerous health benefits. This unprocessed product is rich in bioavailable vitamins, minerals, enzymes, beneficial bacteria, naturally occurring conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and omega-3 fatty acids, while being free from antibiotics and synthetic hormones. It serves as a wholesome alternative, especially for those with dairy sensitivities.
Consuming raw milk can aid in several ways:
Weight Loss: Drinking raw milk regularly can help curb those junk food cravings. It effectively satisfies hunger and acts as a healthier snack choice compared to processed options.
Skin Health: The healthy fats found in raw dairy products are great for keeping your skin hydrated and nourished. Adding raw dairy to your skincare routine, like using raw kefir facials, can enhance skin quality and give you a glowing look.
Mood Improvement: Raw dairy products can have a positive impact on your mood thanks to their probiotic content, which helps restore the gut microbiome. This link between what you eat and how you feel suggests that healthy foods can increase serotonin and dopamine production, boosting your emotional well-being.
Bone Health: Raw milk is essential for bone health at every age, making it an important part of the diet for toddlers, kids, teens, adults, and seniors.
Exercise and Hydration: Raw milk is packed with electrolytes and nutrients, providing energy and hydration, which is why many athletes choose it to maintain peak performance and aid recovery.
Allergies: Research from Europe shows that drinking raw milk is associated with lower rates of allergies, fevers, ear infections, and asthma.
Overall, raw milk is promoted as a nourishing food that can enhance various aspects of health and wellbeing.

This means that we follow and adhere to the strict common practices set by the Raw Milk Institute. RAWMI is the golden standard for clean and safe raw milk producers in the world.
Part of these common standards is regular testing of our milk. We submit data monthly to show that we are in compliance with RAWMI Common Standards, which aim for <10 coliforms/mL and <5,000 cfu/mL for standard plate count.
