Where can I buy real milk from the farm near Glastonbury CT? Not pasteurized or homogenized

Question

I have read the health benefits of real milk and would like to buy my milk straight from the cow.

Answer 1

Good news for you!  You live in a state where raw milk sales are legal!

Here's the link & what it states:

http://www.realmilk.com/happening.html#c...

Connecticut

Raw milk sales are legal on the farm and in retail stores. In order to operate legally farmers must obtain producer permits and raw milk retailer permits from the State Agriculture Commissioner. Additionally, they must obtain a milk dealer license from the public health board of the town or city where their farms are located.

The state Milk Regulation Board has issued a regulation on the quality standards for retail raw milk. The state does not charge any fees for the testing required to ensure the quality of the milk. Notwithstanding the quality standard regulation, towns and cities have the power to ban the sale of retail raw milk. At the present time, only two towns have done so.

Details

Raw milk drinkers got a scare when a bill was introduced in the Environment Committee that would have outlawed not only the sale of raw milk, but would also have banned giving it away. The bill's sponsors argued that the bill was needed because "if anyone got sick drinking raw milk, it would give all milk sold in the State of Connecticut a bad name," rather incredible logic since no one in the state has ever gotten sick because of raw milk. Dairy farmer Deb Taylor rounded up her customers and met with committee members, explaining in friendly terms the importance of raw milk sales for her livelihood and for their health. Many committee members were sympathetic and the bill died in committee. This shows the importance of well-organized, nonconfrontational lobbying efforts in support of raw milk sales.

Bad news is Connecticut does not have anything listed on Slow Foods USA.

Good news is, I found the link to all of the raw dairies in Connecticut! Here's the link, and the information:
