Dairy

According to Kentucky Legislature, selling raw milk (unpasteurized milk) is illegal. Though I am aware of a few farmers who have dairy cattle and dairy goats that are willing to sell you a share of the cow/goat for fresh milk. Tennessee laws are a little bit more relaxed.

Out of fresh milk I make butter, buttermilk, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese and yogurt for my own dietary needs. If your doctor prescribes that you need that particular bacteria in your system.

Happy Meadows Natural Foods, Berea Ky -Offers local milk, buttermilk, cream, Kenny’s cheese and Fresh Baked bread….which is quite yummy!


Happy Shopping! - k
