Farmers have been denied fair markets for their dairy products for more than a century. Recently, dozens of farmers have recently lost their organic milk contracts and are looking for a sustainable alternative. Raw milk presents a unique opportunity for farmers to move into an expanding market.
On Saturday January 15th 2022 at 4pm Eastern/1pm Pacific, the Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI) will be presenting a 1.5-hour It’s Time to Go Raw seminar. This presentation will be livestreamed online, so that means you could attend from your own location. The presentation will be part of the 2022 Northeast Organic Farming Association Massachusetts (NOFA Mass) Winter Conference.
Raw milk presents a unique farmstead product that brings all the added value back to the farmer with an incentive to work on quality. By selling directly to consumers, raw milk farmers are able to obtain greater financial rewards for their work, while consumers benefit from the improved flavor and nutrition. It’s a win for both farmers and consumers!
