----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE JULY 2015 --- BEWARE! Our local health food stores are selling Ultra-Pasteurized Milks!! and Homogenized Milks/ dairy products.

The WAPF recommends that you NEVER buy or use Ultra-Pasteurized dairy products for anything! Ultra-Pasteurized dairy will not culture or ferment,

and there may be serious health consequences.

Horizon products are usually Ultra-Pasteurized and some Organic Valley dairy products are Ultra-Pasteurized - -

Look carefully at the package, and ask the store dairy mgr. if you're not sure -- It's a shame our "health" food stores are carrying these items!!!

Please let the stores know your thoughts on this.

The WAPF also recommends that you NEVER buy or use Homogenized dairy products.

See http://www.realmilk.com for more info.

This happened in Oct. 2011 and is still continuing to have a big impact -- including some positive repercussions for us -
that we can build on!
How did the Bledsoes stop the intervention of the Health District?
How can you stop overzealous regulators during a potential farm or buying club raid?

Cornucopia Institute files third legal complaint over alleged violations
at Horizon 'Organic' dairy factory farm

by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The nonprofit organic advocacy group the Cornucopia Institute (CI) has filed its third legal complaint with the National Organic Program (NOP) alleging serious improprieties by Dean Foods, and specifically its WhiteWave subsidiary.
According to the complaint, WhiteWave's Horizon Organic milk brand violates organic standards because cows raised on the giant factory farm in Idaho where the company gets much of its milk are confined to feedlots and routinely barred from accessing pasture as required by law.

On February 11, CI sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service requesting an immediate investigation into the matter, which was first brought to the agency's attention back in 2006.
Addressed specifically to Matthew Michael at the NOP Compliance and Enforcement Branch, the letter alleges that Horizon repeatedly violated the law with its milk brand by corporatizing the milking process to match that of the conventional dairy industry.

PAST UPDATES -
-------------------------------------

PAST UPDATE --- May 3, 2013 --- Update - Raw Milk Bill - now in NV!

RAW MILK - NV LEGISLATION - pls help support this!

From: gloria montero <goatdiva@yahoo.com>

Subject: Raw milk Laws

The Nevada legislature is considering an amendment allowing the sale of raw milk under certain circumstances which are a little less restrictive than they have been in the past.

The main point of AB 209 is that raw milk be allowed for sale in a county other than where it is produced.

This would mean that raw milk produced in a county with a dairy commission (Nye) would be legally available for sale in any county in Nevada.

This is a START towards allowing the sale of raw milk from other small dairies in NV under hopefully less restrictive requirements that are now the law here.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

PLEASE go to the comment website at https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/77th2013/A/

and express your opinion about allowing the passage of this bill.

[ Note - this has closed - Governor Brian Sandoval VETOED this - We need to educate more consumers, so next time we will win.]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You can read the latest version of the bill at

https://nelis.leg.state.nv.us/77th2013/App#/77th2013/Bill/Text/AB209

Even if you do not have an interest in the sale of raw milk in NV please support this bill.
It could mean a new opportunities for dairy producers in the future and the beginning of reasonable future changes to the milk sales laws in Nevada.

Please help make this change possible in Nevada by expressing your support for this Bill.
It has already passed the Assembly and is now in Committee in the Senate.

FDA Action Stops Legal Sale of Raw Colostrum in Nevada


Tragically, the week of December 7-12th 2008 will be the last week that OPDC will be able to deliver raw products to Reno Nevada.
The FDA has brought legal enforcement action to stop OPDC deliveries of raw colostrum to Reno Nevada.


In late 2007, with out notifying OPDC, the FDA changed the regulations pertaining to raw Colostrum and now mandates that colostrum must be pasteurized if transported across state lines. OPDC had no idea that these laws had changed until discovered last week.


This came as a quite a shock to Organic Pastures Dairy and our family of closely connected consumers. OPDC had worked for three years to gain permission from the Nevada State dairy commission for the retail sale of raw colostrum. After much debate, the Nevada State Dairy Commission graciously gave its permission after hearing the facts about DSHEA and raw colostrum. This has all come to an end. Nevada is not at fault, this is an FDA action.

We at OPDC are sickened by this stealth FDA rule change. This FDA change does not serve to increase food safety but instead forces raw products underground where it is not tested or inspected. There have been zero reported illnesses associated with raw colostrum…ever!!!

If you want raw milk or raw colostrum to once again to be found on Nevada retail shelves you will need to fight the powers in our government which do not seek to increase immune strength but do all that they can to weaken it by mandating the processing of your foods and consumption of drugs.

We are so very sorry and heart broken for your loss of this fantastic living food,


Most kind regards,

Mark McAfee

Founder OPDC

IMPORTANT! I recommend that you Store Your Milk and other Food in Glass Not Plastic!l

see - http://www.mercola.com/2003/apr/16/food_storage.htm

Glass canning or preserving jars with wide mouth are available at many supermarkets,
hardware stores, kitchen/ cooking shops and thrift shops in 1 Quart / 1 Litre size and many other sizes. Ask for Mason jars.

The wide mouth makes them easy to clean.

The Great Basin Community Food Co-op has a big selection of many sizes - greatbasinfood.coop - (775) 324-6133  - 240 Court Street, Reno, NV 89501

Hardware Stores have often have many sizes, large - including 4 and 5 L -
and small ones, good for storing or transporting your milk.

Warehouse [NZ] has 3 L, 2 L, 1 L and other sizes, also Briscoes [NZ] has various sizes.

Resale shops, thrift and second hand stores often have glass jars.

Stainless steel "milk billy" containers can be ordered from farm supply stores - more updates will be posted.

Raw cheese is also under attack nationwide and world wide! see Manifesto in defense of Raw-milk Cheese at http://www.slowfood.com/eng/sf_eventi/sf_eventi_cheese.lasso

Also see Cheese of Choice Coalition on link. ---- "Cheese of Choice Coalition" (or CCC). ----
Oldways and the American Cheese Society organized the CCC to oppose governmental agencies that want to ban production and sale of cheese made from unpasteurized milks.

Worldwide, if such a ban were implemented, the following cheeses would be affected: Parmigiano-Reggiano; Swiss Emmental; Swiss Gruyere; Swiss Appenzell; Vigneron; Comte; Shelburne Farms Vermont Cheddar; Grafton Village Vermont Cheddar; Keen's and Montgomery's English Farmhouse cheddars; Spanish Idiazabal and Manchego; and many others.

LEARN WHY RAW MILK IS BEST, and why pasteurized milk is NOT RECOMMENDED!!! --- see http://www.realmilk.com/what.html --- and http://www.realmilk.com/

Ideally, you can find a local farmer who will be willing to sell you high quality raw milk.

If you can't obtain raw milk, try yoghurt, butter or cream, but NEVER use ultra-pasteurized. Regular pasteurization is not as damaging to butter or cream as it it to milk. With yoghurt, many of the enzymes are restored through the culturing process.

Consumer demand is needed to bring healthful, real raw milk back and have it easily accessable to all!!

Real Milk - USA:

California: Organic Pastures Dairy Raw Milk is now sold in many small, independent health food stores throughout California, along with Organic Pastures Dairy raw butter, raw cream, and raw colostrum.!!! They also export to world markets.

"Organic Pastures Dairy Company was founded on a simple principle: care for our cows and the environment, and our milk will be of the highest quality. The herd grazes all day in certified organic pasture.
The cows eat only organic feeds. Unlike conventional dairies, no antibiotics or hormones disrupt the cows' health." -- Mark McAfee

The cows are humanely treated (in fact, each cow has her own name) and are REALLY, REALLY free-range, grass-fed cows!
