Why RAW MILK?

Great question!

Crystal Brook Farm Whole Raw Milk is unprocessed and complete with bioavailable vitamins, minerals, enzymes, beneficial bacteria, naturally occurring Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids. We have a small herd of four very happy cows who graze on our lush green pasture spring, summer and fall with supplemental hay we harvest for the winter.

Customers with lactose sensitivities have a delicious, nutritious, and natural alternative in this unaltered, wholesome product. There is a surging trend in America to use alternative kinds of “milk” products. Drinking raw milk provides a diversity of bacteria that the body needs for a healthy immune system. What they are NOT telling you is how processed the food is or how altered the ingredients are remaining inside the product. Below is a chart that compares raw milk to the MANY milk alternatives that are commonly found in the dairy case marketplace:

Why is milk from Jersey cattle more easily digestible?

In a glass of real dairy there are two forms of protein called casein and whey. The casein is what creates the difference between regular milk and A2 milk. There are two forms of casein in cow’s milk: A1 and A2 beta-casein. There have been studies that say the A1 beta-casein is harder to digest for some people. The Jersey breed has a high percentage of A2 genes and our Jersey herd all tested A2/A2! A2 milk has shown to help those who have discomfort drinking regular milk.

The double bonus is that the ease of digestibility of Whole Raw Milk gives those that experience discomfort with processed dairy products, a delicious and natural option.

The more you know! The more you GROW!

A2 aside, raw milk is one of the easiest foods to digest. Your body knows EXACTLY how to digest it and will consume it quickly. When you drink unprocessed, raw milk your body will thrive and only react through complete digestion. This complete food will give your body the much-needed vital nutrition it needs to become strong and healthy. Enzymes, probiotics, healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and calcium are just some of the noted essential nutrients found in whole raw milk.

What is the shelf of RAW MILK?

Generally, one week from the date you pick it up.

*Reminder: in your refrigerator the cream will RISE to the TOP! You must shake it up before drinking to disperse back into the body of the liquid. This will insure a great tasting glass every time! And if you would like to skim the cream off the top of your milk, it will easily whip into a delicious bowl of dessert topping!

All RAW MILK is…

NEVER PASTEURIZED (HEATED), HOMOGENIZED

(CRUSHED), OR OTHERWISE ALTERED.
