Comments on: Kamloops Herdshare Program http://www.eatkamloops.org/archives/1901 loving local food Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:07:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Caroline Cooper http://www.eatkamloops.org/archives/1901#comment-2487 Caroline Cooper Fri, 12 Nov 2010 17:42:17 +0000 http://eatkamloops.org/?p=1901#comment-2487 I have had a number of emails about if I sell my extra raw milk. I am sorry, but I do not. If you are looking for raw milk you have a number of options: 1. Consider getting your own cow or goat. Your zoning on your property would need to allow livestock. 2. Presently, there is no herd-share program in the Kamloops area. You would have to be willing to cover the cost of driving to the <a href="http://eatkamloops.org/archives/1576" rel="nofollow">nearest herd-share</a> to pick-up the milk or the cost of shipping on the bus. 3. As I have said before, real food is better than supplements, but <strong>eatkamloops.org</strong> does sell <a href="http://eatkamloops.org/archives/1820" rel="nofollow">Green Pastures Butter Oil</a> if you cannot get a source of raw milk. If all of these options are not palatable, try to find the best milk in your area. In our area, <a href="http://www.gortsgoudacheese.bc.ca" rel="nofollow">Gort's Gouda Cheese Farm</a> makes an organic grass-fed non-homogenized pasteurized milk. The milk comes in a glass container. It would be best to ferment the milk and make your own yogurt if possible. If you find fermented pasteurized milk causes problems many people can tolerate pasteurized cream. Gort's Gouda makes a wonderful heavy cream. Gort's Gouda has wonderful raw gouda which you can purchase in bulk at their farm or they will ship by mail.
