Does anyone drink raw milk? I've heard that it has so many benefits, but I get a little scared when I read about ppl who get sick from it.
Have you ever gotten sick from raw milk? Where do you buy it?

I don't now, but my grandparents on both sides are dairy farmers and I drank it growing up when I was at their house. My mom also started my older sister on raw cow's milk at 3 months because she was having trouble BFing.
In my limited experience from childhood, I find that dairy farmers are VERY concerned about bacteria levels and have to test constantly to be able to sell, to it's pretty safe to drink raw. But there's a risk to anything I guess.

I've bought it a few times at the farmers market - not roadside markets/produce stands, but large weekly markets organized and regulated by the city/township. The farmers are people I've bought from before and trust, and not people who could or would just disappear overnight.

@pinkcupcake: I know people who drink raw milk. As long as you get it from a reputable farmer you should be fine!!!
I want to try it but not when I'm pregnant and not until the kids are older.
For now we occasionally buy low temp pasteurized, non homogenized milk. We have a lot of local dairy farms in a hr radius.
I've heard the cream off the top is ah mazing for ice cream!! !
