Where can I buy milk?

Question

milk from cows that are free range, not from dairy farms? Is there a place where I can buy it (not from a farmer - specifically)?

If you don't catch my drift, this should explain it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VIjanhKqVC4

Answer 1

I'm not sure, I know there are places

Answer 2

i would look  check out your local whole foods market, coop, or farmers market.  I stopped drinking regular milk or using common dairy products a long time ago because of the what is allowed to be sold in the milk (pus, blood, etc...).  I also think that Diamond Organics ship free range organic dairy as well.  Goat Milk, Almond Milk, Rice Milk or also good choices.  Good luck!

Answer 3

any organic market will have it. even some larger chain grocers are carrying it now. it all depends on where you live. all about demand.

Answer 4

Just get organic milk.  Milk can only be labeled organic if certain standards are met for treatment of the cows.

Answer 5

I would get soy milk because it is much healthier than any milk from cows..

Answer 6

Buying milk from free-range cow farmers is still not cruelty-free.  Buying any milk still supports the veal industry.

I suggest you try very vanilla soy milk by silk.  Eat it on your cereal first, then work your way up to using it in other things.  Once you get used to that you can switch to regular vanilla or plain.  That's what my family did.

Cows have to be impregnated annually to keep the milk flowing.  When the calves are born boys they are raised to veal most of the time.  Veal calves live short, miserable lives.    

Soy milk is the only thing that comes close to being cruelty free.  Nothing is completely cruelty free, but there are things that are just known to support cruelty...and that's milk.

gomanyes:  Just because milk is organic doesn't mean the cows are better taken care of better.  The organic label refers to what the cows are fed, not how they are taken care of.

I've already seen meat your meat.  They also talk about veal on there.  Organic and free range cows still have to be inseminated and the baby boys end up as veal.  I think the point of meet your meat is to show people that consuming meat and dairy is cruel.  There is no cruelty free animal products.

Answer 7

Why did you provide a link to "Meet Your Meat"?

If a cow produces enough milk for you to have some as well, that means that a calf is being deprived of some milk. It also means that the cow is impregnated on a regular basis to keep milk production high enough.

What do they do with all of the male calves?

If a cow makes milk for people, it means that she is being treated as a machine and not with her best interest or that of her offspring in mind.

Answer 8

try whole foods. they pride themselves in selling organic and range free animal products.

Answer 9

Hey hun,

Sorry to break it to you, but even free range milk is horrible for the cows!  Free range in the US litteraly means 1 hour of excess to the outside per day.

And, the baby cows that the dairy cows birth in order to produce milk (they can only produce milk for 9 months after having a baby) are still used for veal most of the time.

So, instead of switching to free range, switch to soy, rice, almond, hemp, something of that nature... it's much healthier as well as more enviromentally and animal friendly!
