Anyone familiar with that? As the winter drags on and there is less sun, vitamin D can be in short supply and depression may not be far behind. My level of motivation has fallen through the floor. I revel in my — shall I say — laziness and enjoy it while it lasts. Come spring the world will spin out of control with so much to do and no time to do it all. The short answer is nearly forever. The only thing that will stop you from consuming it is an aversion to the taste.
First it becomes sour. Next it will thicken into yogurt. However, it will be a very strong yogurt. That yogurt will last a month or more.
Along that time line you can drink the milk, use it in cooking, make cultured butter and buttermilk, and so on. Contrast that with pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk does not sour, it rots. It truly goes bad and is not safe for consumption. You do not want to put it in your mouth under any circumstances. On the other hand, when raw milk ages and starts to sour, this is good!
Great, in fact. The reason raw milk starts to sour is because beneficial, probiotic bacteria amounts are increasing and using up the lactose sugar, making it taste sour, again, like a nice unsweetened yogurt.
So, how long should your raw milk last when you get it home? Sandra Clark whose website is www. If it sours, no worries, it will become yogurt with no help at all with a little sour cream on top. In my experience, I have kept milk for nearly a month before it soured.
Because in the spring we have tons of milk, this happens often. We just keep drinking it until the flavor goes off, then use it for other purposes.
What is our secret to milk lasting so long? First, cooling it quickly. The faster it gets below 40 degrees, the longer it is going to last. The second key is keeping it very cold. The colder you keep the milk, the longer it will last.
Our milk refrigerator is set to 34 degrees. The problem that people have these days is having access to this great raw milk. I will do another podcast on how we got to this point. There are lots of scary stories out there about how dangerous it is to drink raw milk. The human species would have died out long before the pasteurization process was invented in the previous century if it was so dangerous. There are dangers in every food we consume.
There are risks in every aspect of life. Assess your comfort level with the risk and make your choice. Raw Milk Choice The problem today is that in many states, there is no available choice for raw milk products unless you own your own cow. You can own part of a cow herd and receive the benefits of what your cows produce. More on that later. It has to be labeled as pet milk in 4 states. And of course, the herd share program is available in Virginia and 10 other states.
In 9 states all sales are illegal and so are herd shares. So, 12 states think it is okay to for us buy raw milk and to consume it freely and the others are so certain we are all going to die of horrible illnesses that it has to be restricted or illegal altogether. I just cannot fathom the logic in this. Who is telling the truth? And I will say again, there is risk in consuming any food.
To help you with that decision as it pertains to raw milk, here is an article from the US National Library of Medicine Department of the National Institutes of Health link in the show notes. There is a ton of really great information in this study. Lots of data, as you might expect, and lots of charts and graphs. Methods: Trends in foodborne illnesses reported to the Centers for Disease Control in the United States from to were analyzed, with comparison to state legal status and to consumption, as estimated by licensing records.
Results: The rate of unpasteurized milk-associated outbreaks has been declining since , despite increasing legal distribution. Discussion: Studies of the role of on-farm food safety programs to promote the further reduction of unpasteurized milk outbreaks should be initiated, to investigate the efficacy of such risk management tools.
This study was initiated because they were pretty sure that the incidence of raw milk illnesses would increase as access was increased. They were wrong. There is now a push toward finding out if on-farm food safety programs are helping. Others are just starting out and need to know about how to keep the environment sanitary and the milk clean.
They need to know that it is really important to cool the milk quickly. A favored method is putting it in a freezer for 2 hours and then transferring to the refrigerator. I get busy and forget stuff. Heck, I can walk into another room and forget why I went in there.
Ever done that? Raw Milk in Virginia In Virginia, the way to have access to raw milk is via the herd share. You support the business by buying a share of the herd and get a designated rate of return on your investment. It is a commitment to be sure.
You are committing to a certain amount of product per month for as long as you are a member. Here are four reasons our cow herd share program is so good.
Briefly, there was as genetic mutation that happened a while back that changed the structure of the milk. One of the reasons we chose our heritage breed Normande cows was the purity of the ancient genetics.
We use antibiotics only at great need and absolutely NO growth hormones. Because we care for our pastures, our cows get only the best nutrition. Abigail's daunting enough when she's ranting about social pressures and medical butchery, but when she suddenly puts on a cooperative smile Savannah gets really nervous There's barely time to worry about it when Dirk brings her in on his latest case. One of Emerge's owners, renowned plastic surgeon Suzette Du Bois, is missing.
And quicker than you can say Botox, Sergio D'Allessandro, Suzette's business partner and ex-husband, hires Savannah to find Suzette before the cops do. As she broadens her search, Savannah begins to realize that some of the employees at this temple of perfection harbor serious inner flaws. There's Myrna Cooper, Emerge's receptionist, whose permanently surprised expression proves she fears aging almost as much as she despises her bosses.
And publicist Devon Wright, Sergio's not-so-secret lover, was overheard threatening Suzette just before the doc disappeared. Add to the mix Jeremy Lawrence, Emerge's disgruntled and aggressively ambitious style consultant, and the picture is far from pretty.
When one of the suspects turns up dead, Savannah's had enough. Alex Prax, Ayeesha Rick sanders Remix. Dan Stezo Original Mix.
