Lawmakers are deciding if Maryland dairy farmers should, according to this story, be able to sell directly to the public and even sell raw, unpasteurized milk.
Don Everett from Apple Valley Creamery in Pennsylvania was quoted as saying, “We were not planning on selling raw milk when we first opened the creamery. We had so many customers–one in four we estimated–wanted raw milk. We said, ‘hey this is what the consumer wants, is there a safe way we can do it?’ We researched it.”
The advent of pasteurization prevented many bacterial illnesses from milk, but some people believe the healthy benefits of raw milk outweigh the dangers.
Some lawmakers in Maryland are trying to legalize direct milk sales and the sale of raw milk here.
