I've seen the farm share groups prosecuted for unpasteurized milk. I remember tasting it for the first time on my Aunt's dairy farm. It was strange, but so good after I got used to it.

Yeah, it's got a much stronger taste.

And yes, it's dangerous, and being illegal makes some sense. Although it seems wrong that a small group who probably know the risks should be prosecuted. Or was this a farm share group thousands strong?

Several people in my area got sick and some died from homemade cheese made with unpasteurized milk about ten years ago. As long as it's handled properly, I don't see a problem with it. The farm share group was less than 100 people. I think it was around 20. I just read up on it and they've figured out a way to get around the law. You can't take unpasteurized milk from someone else's cow, but you can take unpasteurized milk from your own cow. The group now owns the cows and the farm collects and distributes the milk for a fee. It's called herd share.

Whoa! Death is more serious than I was expecting.
