Most people are interested in coming to visit the Scoggins Family Farm and Farmers Market Stand to purchase fresh milk, eggs, bread, produce, meat and such. Those who are interested in eating healthier and consuming fresh food should be interested in the Raw Milk Legislation. I don't usually get involved in legislative matters, but this bill concerns consumption of something I love: Milk!
At Scoggins Family Farm we have 3 family milk cows ( I will remind you that I am pregnant with my 12th child!). We consume a lot of milk! If we have any over abundance of milk we make our own cheese and butter. The Raw Milk Legislation would allow you, the consumer, to purchase Raw Milk for consumption. We have consumed Raw Milk in our home for 6 years now and have NEVER been even slightly sick. No listeria, no bacteria related illnesses, NOTHING! We get about 4" of cream on top of every gallon of milk. My children have healthy teeth (1 cavity in 1 child). That is amazing considering our family is HUGE! We consume about 1 1/2 gallons a day in our home. It is wonderful! Store bought milk smells sour as soon as I pop the top. Raw Milk smells like butter when it sours. There is no "sour milk smell" that I grew up with!
Recently, House Bill 1279 passed with a vote of 78-19. Now the bill has been assigned to Health & Welfare for their vote in the Senate. I would encourage you to vote to allow the "small farmers" to sell their Raw Milk for consumption! It is WONDERFUL!
