Raw milk seems to be in the news a lot lately - with proposed regulations and  questions about spreading bird flu. I see so many people asking if it’s safe.

In today’s podcast, I share how our family chose the dairy we get our raw milk from (How I determined it is clean and safe), why we drink raw milk, and how we use it.

This winter in the Alaska Homestead Academy, we are going to release a series of classes on processing milk - from butter to yogurt to kefir to cheese - we’re going to learn how to do it all! If you aren’t already part of the academy, you can join here: https://alaskahomesteadacademy.com/
