Raw Milk:
You know I could literally go on for pages about the benefits of raw milk, so instead today, I'll leave you with this quote from Mark McAfee from the Raw Milk Institute:
"Raw milk contains not just beneficial bacteria. It also is rich in the specialized proteins that build and support the elements of the adaptive immune system. No one ever talks about the hundreds of different kinds of specialized proteins in raw milk and what they do for you. Raw milk is a living, blood-serum-like, immune system building food. It's like nothing else on earth."

Check out this guilt-free chocolate milk recipe! If you don't have an immersion blender, simply put all ingredients into a large bowl and whisk well.
Ingredients:
1/2 gallon Six S Dairy Raw Milk
2 - 4 tablespoons of Organic Raw Cacao Powder
1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup (we love the local syrup from Sevey Farms and sell it in our farm stand)
1 teaspoon Organic Vanilla Extract
A dash of Redmond’s Real Salt
Steps:
Pour about 2 cups of milk out of your jar of milk so that you don't overflow when you're mixing, reserving it to use later.
Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to your jar of milk.
Using an immersion blender, mix all ingredients well.
Add the remaining milk back into the jar, replace the lid, and give it a shake.
Enjoy!
