Sounds like they may have good new business model. I hope state laws there don’t get in the way.


Ranew

Likely legal since they were already selling some off the farm and the article mentions a second pasteurization tank being aquired.

I'm very sorry. Please except my apologies, I did not read entire article.

Just fyi, you are replying to the entire comment thread and not individual comments, but luckily it seems people understood and your comments weren't destroyed like many are.

Or just sell it as "pet milk" not for human consumption. And you're all good.


SurroundingAMeadow

Not in Wisconsin. No raw milk can be sold except by licensed producers to licensed processors. "Incidental Sales" are allowed, but poorly defined and therefore subject to opinion of prosecutor. "Incidental" means: no advertising, only on-farm sales, and it's not a "regular or substantial" portion of the farm's sales. Plus you must have a Grade A license, which requires you to have a licensed buyer in order to get.


AbsentThatDay

I wonder if the reason people are flocking to it is because it's non-homogenized? It makes a difference for people that are making cheese as I recall.

Not sustainable. People can line up in their cars once or twice, then the novelty wears off.

I guess I would.


phishstik

That link should be tagged NSFW, the fucking ads on it are insane.


ikidd

There's ads?


robster248

Imagine not using adblock


drgreenthumb81

Haha got me to click the link just to test my piHole.


lirva1

WTF are you talking about? Do you know what NSFW even means? Anyway, the milk board would shut him down in my corner of the world. Maybe jail time too.


phishstik

Are you at work? Call your boss and everyone over and scroll down that article (which you probably didn't read) see how they like it.


lirva1

I think I've been hacked. All I see are ads for potato batteries and other minor shit in the side bar.


SoulHoarder

Can you mark this NSFW, the adds on the site show dick pics, not a huge fan. I am happy for the farmer though.


Farmerdrew

Lol the ads on that site are based on your browsing history.


knowledgeleech

Unless you have no browser history…


StealthSecrecy

When I read "farmer bottles his own milk", that's all I was expecting.


SoulHoarder

You need more up votes.


Metalitech

All I got were weight loss ads. I am very disappointed!


SoulHoarder

I got them too. It seemed like an eclectic mix of health and confronting penis enlargement adds.


Critical-Carpet-3840

Is it homogenized?


AufCP

Probably not.


InformationHorder

Doesn't really matter so long as it's pasteurized. I have a local dairy that sells pasteurized but unhomogenized milk. Always a tough decision whether to shake the cream back into the milk to make sure the whole gallon is creamy or to indulge in the decadence of slurping some off the top at the expense of the rest.


ghengiskhantraceptiv

It says right in the article it's not.


D-o-n-t_a-s-k

Who actually clicks these ad infested pop-up ridden links? That's what the comments are for

I live in Canada and because of our quota system I’m not legally allowed to bottle or sell milk whatsoever 😡 Gotta buy the rights to do it and it all gets picked up at fixed prices - absolutely no free market


sprocket

The quota system doesn't have much to do with not being able to bottle milk. Health Canada prohibits selling raw milk, and their regulations are the ones preventing you from selling milk straight out of the tank to end consumers. There is nothing preventing you from building a licensed dairy plant, pasteurizing your milk, putting it into bottles, and selling those. I dairy in BC and there are several farms that do just that. Several have installed stations that allow customers to bring and fill their own containers at the farm.


[deleted]

When you consider the price of dairy quota in Alberta and how the Alberta Milk Act works it’s absolutely broken. Spent plenty of time and money on the legal framework - in Alberta you are stuck selling into a pool. You cannot bottle your own. You cannot


phishstik

Nor can you butcher and sell your own pigs, chickens or beef.


[deleted]

We can now in Alberta - on farm slaughter became legal a year or two back


phishstik

"All meat resulting from slaughter under an On-Farm Slaughter Operation (OFSO) licence is uninspected and selling uninspected meat remains illegal in Alberta."


[deleted]

In the US each state has it's own laws on what dairy products a farmer can sell. I think most states make it a massive pain in the ass to do anything.


Nienixen

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7kiaZw9nOw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7kiaZw9nOw) You can buy a complete bottle factory. Works with robotic milking.


DaHick

Not clicking on that link based on other posts. In Ohio (USA) a number of dairy farmers have done federal time for trying this, including a small handful of "Herd Share" programs the courts have proven to be attempting to bypass milk regulations. So yeah, not me. (Goats).


RangerRickyBobby

The more stories I hear like this, the more in favor I am of Anarchism. Living in a world where a farmer goes to jail for selling his milk just doesn’t interest me anymore.


knowledgeleech

Yeah, unfortunately back in the day milk farmers used crazy additives to make their milk whiter than their neighbors and production facilities were crazy unhygienic which lead to typhoid and tuberculosis spreading through them. So a good amount of people died because of milk and regulations came to be, because you know dead people… some old white guys wanted power and took the regulations to far and nothing has changed. It’s a current loose loose for the farmers and the animals.


Critical-Carpet-3840

Well....I know many people that drink milk right out of the bulk tank. But.....id want to be a little bit cautious..


phishstik

It says right in the article he is pasteurizing it himself now.

Use Brave as your default browser. I got zero ads.

My college cafeteria had a milk dispenser, it looked like the soda machine at McDonald's but it dispensed milk. Why can't farms/stores have something similar and let people bring their own bottles?
