I've heard if you find a farmer in the area (hopefully organic) that you can develop a relationship with, you might be able to "work something out." Seek and perhaps ye shall find, whether legal or "extra-legal."
Good suggestion about the local farmers. If space and time permits, you can raise your own dairy animal yourself.
What I want to know is: if I raise my own cow or goat, can I legally drink the milk? If so, then what is so different about me buying the same product from my neighbor? I doubt the government has become
that intrusive, but ya never know. I live in a semirural town where horse and cattle farms are scattered all over. A couple years back, the city outlawed poultry within the city limits due to overblown fears of bird flu. I am in the city and I raise a whooping 5 laying hens. I think they eventually threw that law out, as many people raise various animals, and really, can they outlaw the wild ducks and turkeys?
I think the whole legal issue of raw milk revolves around the fear of raw foods carrying pathogens, and especially raw animal foods. We must unlearn what we have learned, to borrow from Master Yoda.
