WHAT TO DO WITH RAW MILK ONCE IT'S IN YOUR KITCHEN?

Raw milk can be such a treat if you're able to get access to some, or if you have your own milk cow. But knowing what to do with all that milk once you get it into the kitchen can be daunting and sometimes confusing.
In this video, Carolyn breaks down the anatomy of raw milk, plus the different ways you can transform your milk into delicious and healthy products.

60 years ago, my grandpa milked 24 cows a day. Most went to the cheese factory (grade B milk), but a gallon came into the house every day. The best milk ever, along with the fresh chicken soup, and other "organic" vegetables and farm products that were daily consumables on a sustainable farm of the 60's

@@herbbowler2461 Absolutely not. Look at all the European countries they are big consumers of dairy . They are fine. I grew on and still have raw milk. The problem is some countries don't have much access to milk and that is what makes them intolerant.

[@jg5755]

@@herbbowler2461 We actually evolved to be able to digest lactose past babyhood. This ability developed incredibly quickly in evolutionary terms. Milk from the animals we kept was a portable source of reliable nutrition and hydration which could even be taken across deserts. Cows, sheep, goats, mares, camels, buffalo have all been kept by humans for thousands of years for their meat and milk. There's archaeological evidence of bronze age people weaning their children onto animal milk. So we are in fact designed to have animal milk as part of our diet throughout our life, just not the dead stuff sold at the supermarket.

That's the side the vegan community won't tell you about. I'm starting to hear more people get off that diet due to deficiencies.

[@sashashaktiable]

Yes, same here. I even grew up vegan, because my dad had bought into the whole mad cow disease plandemic (which I just started to understand last year due to the recent plandemic was just another lie), which is why we as a family did not eat any animal products for about eight years. Of course I was smaller than my peers, pale-looking, skinny, always tired, did not fully develop (until I switched to raw vegetarianism just recently), and I also am pretty sure that this partly is responsible for my small jawbone - which apparently gave reason to remove 4 completely healthy teeth... but not just veganism is an attempt to have us kill ourselves. So is practically the whole big company 'food supply' system. Among many other lies and poison they try to feed us in order to keep us small and weak. We need to grow locally and organic in permaculture, eat whole foods and as much as possible raw. I am not sure if we need to eat meat, though. The Wodaabe are a tribe of nomadic farmers that live drinking the raw milk of their animals, but they only butcher them for celebrational purposes and rather rarely. So I now eat all raw, mostly lots of greens, plus eggs and milk and butter included, but no meats of any kind. Do any of you have any experience with that? All the best to everyone, love and blessings - may we all be free.

In Poland and eastern Europe drinking clabbered milk is a normal thing. Its delicious and refreshing to drink in summer with fresh baby potatoes as a meal, or just blended with seasonal fruits. Sometimes it works with pasteurized milk, but you can taste a difference with real raw milk. The only thing is, some people make take time to get used to it, because the gut can get, errr overwhelmed with the amount of bacteria, if you know what I mean... So it might be good idea to start with small portions.

[@bonsummers2657]

Heating the milk beyond 142.7F makes the milk more gunky/congestive in ones body, even if cultured after the heating. That congestiveness lowers vitality. Keep the milk raw, culture at ambient room temp. Cultures beautifully,… more satisfying than fresh milk. And it's only mildly tangy and beautifully well rounded in character.

We have 2 dairy goats. They have never kidded, but they had precocious udders. We get about 2 and 1/2 cups of milk a day, but that's plenty for us because we weren't used to using a lot. I do make kefir, kefir cheese, and farm cheese (by using lemon or vinegar to cause the milk to separate than straining, no cultures) but I've never tried clabbered milk.

Can you do an instructional video on making butter?

[@daniellepower7758]

Seperate cream and beat the crap out of it add salt. Done

[@cfoster6804]

@@daniellepower7758 😂 Thanks, I'll be sure to "beat the crap out of it".

When raw milk is illegal, it's illegal to "sell". Make friends with the farmer. I'm sure there could be a deal worked out.

[@cassandra5516]

Pay cash and it's all good 😜

My nephew is a commercial dairy farmer here in Michigan. All his milk is contracted to go to make cheese for Little Cesar's pizza. Anyway, he won't even GIVE me raw milk. The risk is too great. If caught, the State would pull his license in a heartbeat. How ridiculous is that??? You could almost eat off his milking parlor floors. The sterilization requirements are very stringent. I can guarantee you that there is nothing in his cows milk!

[@The3sto0ges]

In GA there is a few farms that are able to sell raw milk

[@GrammaElaine]

@@edgrigsby8610 Depends on what he feeds the cows. Grain fed cows' milk is typically not safe to drink raw. And like Organic Valley, some milk buying contracts will not allow their producers to sell direct to consumers. If the farmer does, he loses his contract. All about control...

[@MFaith777]

How much space does your cow have for grazing? We want a milk cow but am not sure our back yard is big enough. And then how much feed and hay do you go through in a year for her?

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

Nice vid! Thanks! So soured milk is not the same as butter milk (karnemelk in Dutch)? We bought fresh jersey milk from our neighbours and after 3-4 day’s refrigerated it had already soured, but not putrefied. Does this mean the milk they’re selling us could actually be more than a week old when it reaches us?

[@nancymweasel6561]

Wish there was a place near me in Las Vegas, NV to find raw milk. I want to make butter, cheeses, etc.

[@andreacoughlin2736]

I’m in Las Vegas and I have someone I get raw milk from!

[@cfoster6804]

I thought you guys could buy it from the store in NV.

My mom had told me that clabbered milk was her favorite.

[@meblake7359]

How do you separate the cream for making whipped cream?

[@S.A.B.5768]

Is there another way to “test” the milk freshness or sourness other than by smell? I had covid a couple of years ago and my sense of smell still isn’t quite right. Thank you.

[@STXLoneStarLiving]

Dont know if were ready for a milking cow yet, but maybe a dairy goat.

[@spiffy8576]

How long does raw milk stay fresh in refrigeration?

[@valeriepowell1736]

You can now buy legal pot " marijuana"...... but you can't but raw milk in Florida?

[@OctopusGardenFarm]

You can still buy it but it's has to be labeled not for human consumption. There are a few people who sell on Craigslist and farms markets.

[@valeriepowell1736]

@@OctopusGardenFarm yes I found a girl on marketplace. I paid 3 pounds of butter and got 2 1/4. I told her and went to get the problem fixed. made her bread and brought her jam. And she said I was trying to rip her off. Ugh.. Wainwright's dairy does sell it like that they are close and also sell grass feed in the stores and that has some cream on top. and for store bought it's great

[@OctopusGardenFarm]

I'm sorry to hear that. There's a place call Sandhill Jersey Farm there in northern Florida but do deliveries to Winter Garden. There pricey but you offer a lot of options. I never personally purchased from them but I've heard good things and they've been in business for a while.

[@TRuth.T]

We pay $ 1.50 a gallon for A2 raw milk(were in the Midwest).

[@jacobcaeli]

@@TRuth.T Really? We pay $7, plus sales tax, and a $2 delivery fee per gallon. We're also in the midwest.

[@keshangasenarathne3377]

And thereafter i dont know to how to manage raw milk without boiling. Can you plz explain about the mess 🙁 thanks for shared this useful vedio.❤️

[@grammyspieface1]

I search out raw milk suppliers , while I live IN a no raw milk sales, so I buy the pet milk which is allowed, we actually have a grocery that sells raw milk and cream also in raw form, my hubby won't drink it, lol

[@Salvation238]

Can you make your own kefir grains without a starter

[@thomasfam9002]
