Tiffany Burns believes that raw milk provides her small children with essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes they wouldn’t get elsewhere.
Burns’ two children, ages 2 and 4, are finicky eaters and she worries they wouldn’t get all of their nutrients if not for the nonpasteurized, unhomogenized milk she picks up twice monthly from Starr farmer L.D. Peeler, who delivers about 1,000 gallons of raw milk on five delivery stops, including one in Spartanburg and Gaffney, every other Wednesday.
Burns’ children have never had pasteurized milk, and those who drink raw milk swear by it.
