Raw Milk Production Handbook
by Tim Wightman and co-produced by the
Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund and the Weston A. Price Foundation.
This 52 page handbook will soon be a classic among raw milk farmers
and consumers alike. An easy, informative and interesting read, it covers
the wide range of essentials to safe raw milk production, including
-
- Basics of Dairy Cows
- The Basics of Pasture Feeding - including The Great Grain Debate
- The Basics of Milking
- Storage and Handling
- Milk Testing and Sample Taking - including a section "On-Farm
Testing" contributed
by Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures Dairy
- Summary of Safety Regime for a Small Farm
- Bovine Diseases (causes and controls)
The author, Tim Wightman, is a farmer, consultant and one of the first
cow-share operators in the USA. He is also a founding board member of
the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund.
Who should buy a copy?
- New-to-farming families - for the basics including how to purchase,
care
for and milk your cow.
- Farmers with experience - for the sections and charts on testing
and
bovine diseases. Handy to give out to those you consult with, too.
- Farmers converting from commercial milk production - for the things
to
consider in the shift to non-toxic and raw.
- Consumers - for the general understanding that can improve and
inform
your buying decisions.
While thorough, it's not highly technical. We recommend it for raw
milk farmers and consumers of all ages.
Price is $6.00 (including shipping and handling to USA addresses)
