Have you ever wanted to try raw milk, lauded for its health benefits, but were concerned about the safety? Like all raw foods from lettuce to oysters, there is a risk of contamination, but there's a lot we can do to be sure that all of our raw food, including milk, is as safe as possible.We are talking to Mark McAfee, the chairman of the Raw Milk Institute, which was founded in 2011 to help meet the growing demand for safe raw milk and to educate consumers on raw milk safety. He is also the founder of Raw Farm, the largest producer of raw milk in the world.Raw milk has been a controversial topic for some time. The debate rages between those who praise its health benefits and the regulators who insist that consuming raw milk holds far more risk than benefit. So, what is the truth? And if we choose to consume raw milk, how can we be certain that it has been handled properly – from the milk stand to cold storage – and is safe to drink?In this episode, Mark discusses common pathogens present in raw milk, the basics of what makes raw milk more beneficial than pasteurized, the historical reasoning behind the pasteurization of milk, and how we can ensure that the raw milk we drink is clean and safe. He also touches on the process behind commercial dairy-to-store pasteurized milk.See full show notes here >> https://thriftyhomesteader.com/raw-milk-safety/To see the most recent episodes, visit  ForTheLoveOfGoats.comWant to support the content you love?Head over to -- https://thrifty-homesteader.ck.page/products/love-goats-tip-jarThanks for listening!No one ever said raising goats was easy, but it doesn't have to cost a fortune or drive you crazy!

Mark McAfee is one of the leading pioneers in raw dairy. He started Raw Farm in California back in 1997 and has seen an explosion of growth since then.

Mark McAfee co-founded the world's largest organic raw milk dairy in 1999 named Organic Pastures Dairy. Today, it sells it's raw products safely across the United States in over 900 store locations. The Raw Farm brand estimates to feed over 50,000 families in California, alone. Mark founded the Raw Milk Institute in 2011 to assure that farmers had a resource to assist them in producing very low risk raw milk for their consumers.  He is a premed-trained retired EMS Paramedic and acute care medical educator with a background in organic farming, and he has lectured on the safety and gut biome benefits of raw milk at USC, Stanford, UCSB, Rutgers, University of Guelph, UVIC BC Canada, UCLA, CSUF, Chico State and other Universities and medical schools in Australia, USA and Canada. Mark begins by talking about his background in paramedic medicine for about 17 years.  It was a great experience for the first chapter of his life, but it was exhausting work.  When his grandparents passed away, Mark was ready for a change, so he took over the family farm. For Mark, raw milk is a team effort and a family affair.  He says they don't just sell it, they teach it! Since the pandemic, Mark explains that raw milk sales have exploded. In fact, they are the number one milk in all natural food stores in California.  As he says, “we have changed history by giving options to dollar voting consumers to be able to make a choice for their health.” There are so many immune system issues here in the US and throughout the world.  However Mark explains that raw milk is a powerful food for building up the immune system. Mark says raw milk is one of the most anti-inflammatory foods on the planet.  He says we are mammals, and we are defined by breast milk. Breast milk helps the baby organize the gut, nourishes the baby and protects the baby.  This is the result of the plethora of bio-actives in the milk, such as enzymes,  probiotic bacteria, specialized sugars, stem cells - and more are discovered every year!  These same wonderful bio-actives are found in raw milk, unfortunately most of them are destroyed during pasteurization. In the end, Mark talks about the importance of living a life of purpose beyond self.  He is a humanitarian with a huge heart. For Mark, it's a we project, not a me project.

In this enlightening episode, raw milk super expert Mark McAfee will answer all these questions for you!Mark McAfee founded the Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI) in 2011 to assure that farmers had a resource to assist them in producing very low risk raw milk for their consumers. He is passionate about “grass to glass” risk reduction management on the farm, and he believes that raw milk cannot emerge as a trusted food unless it is very low risk. He is certified in HACCP management from Chapman University and has developed and implemented award winning Food Safety Plans including Raw Milk Risk Analysis & Management Plans (“RAMP”). Mark co-founded the world's largest organic raw milk dairy in 1999 named Organic Pastures Dairy. Today, it sells it's raw products safely across the United States of America in over 900 store locations. The Raw Farm brand estimates to feed over 50,000 families in California, alone. Mark has worked with state regulators and industry leaders to develop the business's Test & Hold custom food safety program. He is a premed-trained retired EMS Paramedic and acute care medical educator with a background in organic farming. In 1997, Mark was awarded the Best of the West grower award for being the first farmer in the USA to initiate an “on farm audited HACCP type risk management system” with the Odwalla juice company. He has lectured on the safety and gut biome benefits of raw milk at USC, Stanford, UCSB, Rutgers, University of Guelph, UVIC BC Canada, UCLA, CSUF, Chico State, and other Universities and medical schools in Australia, USA and Canada.

Oh my…today's interview with Mark McAfee (aka. Papa Mark, as he's known in our family) left me feeling fired up, and I think you guys are going to love it! Mark is the CEO and Founder of Raw Farm, the largest raw milk farm in the world. He's passionate about the immune system, a tenacious and persistent student of raw milk, and his wisdom and knowledge is endless! We talk about everything from his background, the power of gut diversity, what raw milk safety really means, inflammation, the relationship between cancer and bacteria, what to look for in a “clean” farm, and even sprinkle in some really powerful stories. This episode is packed and has the potential to be a real game-changer for you!  Also, an important note…we did have a couple of very small glitches due to struggling internet during the interview. The nature of the interview wasn't compromised, but I do ask for grace in a couple of places that got a little fuzzy! :) Thanks!  Links: Raw Farm USA Is Raw Milk Safe?

Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

We talkd with Mark McAfee today from Organic Pastures here in California all about raw dairy products and the benefits they can have for your health. Raw dairy consists mainly of raw milk, raw cheese, raw butter, raw cream and raw kefir. We don't do a lot of dairy in our lives but we do like some raw butter and some cheese from time to time. It's very important that when getting raw milk that you know that the milk is clean and the cows are happy, grazing on grass, able to roam free in the pasture, they're not locked up in cages or standing in their own excrement which is many times the case in conventional dairy farms. It's also important that the milk isn't heated or treated by pasteurization or homogenization. Heat damage can cause protein molecules to be incredibly difficult to digest. Keeping the enzymes and bacteria alive is critical for being able to process and assimilate this raw food into your body. We dispelled many of the concerns and myths people have about drinking raw milk and taking dairy products in general. Some of the areas of concern people have that we covered are: Lactose intolerance The casein molecule IGF 1 growth factor and it's supposed "correlation" to cancer Hormones Parasites Bacteria Radiation from Fukushima How humans are the only mammals to not wean off their mother's milk And much more! Mark McAfee was a really great guest and a fireball of information. You can tell this man is passionate about his cows and the work he's doing at his ranch. He's doing some great things and we hope you like this show. Pass it on to your friends please!!! I hope you liked the show.

The letter M: This weeks guest is Mark MacAfee, founder and owner of Raw Farm by Organic Pastures. We talk all things raw dairy, conventional vs organic dairy, the many health benefits of raw dairy products and the extensive challenges that farmers young and old face when up against the ever changing landscape of farming. Raw dairy has been a very confusing and demonized subject for the past several decades. Mark is the top producer of raw dairy in the world and provides much needed insight about the vigorous testing and safety associated with their production.

Mark is the founder and CEO of Organic Pastures Dairy Company, a leading California and national brand of truly raw dairy products including milk, butter, cream, kefir, truly raw cheddar cheeses. Founder and chairman of Raw Milk Institute and is an internationally recognized speaker and expert with an emphasis on Raw Milk production standards, gut biome, milk genomics, nutritional benefits, food safety and the medical benefits of raw unprocessed milk and products. Mark is deeply involved with raw milk food safety research and is associated with the International Milk Genomics Consortium at UC Davis. Since 2018, two peer reviewed research papers now identify the Raw Milk Institute standards, training and testing protocols as causing “The RAWMI EFFECT”. Since 2014, in the USA there has been a 357% increase in raw milk consumption with a decrease of 74% for reported illness associated with raw milk. This positive effect has been associated with the advances in testing technology and the standards and training developed by RAWMI and its PhD board of directors. Thousands of farmers have received RAWMI training on how to produce raw milk for human consumption verses standards for pasteurization. In today’s episode, we talk all about raw milk, and why it may be worth considering if you’ve had issues with regular, conventional, processed milk products. Topics discussed in today's episode: How and why raw milk became the center of Mark’s career Why someone would consume milk that is not pasteurized Why pasteurized milk is so allergenic The reason raw milk is illegal or not regulated in certain countries The two different standards for raw milk When most bacteria in milk happens and what the levels typically are from a healthy cow Why pasteurized milk is not good for your gut How a whole food diet supports fertility Why raw milk is so beneficial to your health Three things that will quickly drop inflammation Reasons raw milk is so beneficial for breastfeeding mothers Connect with Mark MacAfee : You can connect with Mark on his Facebook, Instagram, Email and website.

Milk and dairy products in general have been attacked by vegans for many years as one of the most health-destroying foods we can consume. The China Study is often cited as proof, and there are other references to the correlation between dairy products consumption and various diseases and conditions of physical degeneration. Few who cite or read such claims of damage done by dairy consumption seem to notice that the criticism of dairy products don't differentiate between raw and pasteurized milk. They also assume that cows and other dairy animals must be mistreated to produce milk for humans. Mark McAfee (www.organicpastures.com) is one of the best-qualified people to talk about these issues and correct the misconceptions. As the founder of Organic Pastures dairy, which has been around since 1999, Mark has been instrumental in keeping raw milk legal and available for Americans, educating people worldwide on its great health benefits, and setting an example for dairy producers in other countries on how to produce the best quality raw milk products for their customers. I personally have experienced the benefits of raw milk, and it was Organic Pastures milk that I used when in California, looking for a way to fill nutritional requirements I was unable to get as a 100% raw vegan. I got all my former muscle mass, body heat and energy back, plus other benefits, and have been using it now (currently from other sources, since I'm no longer in California) for almost 15 years. We're honored to have Mark on the show this Sunday, and hope you enjoy the insights of one of the best-qualified teachers of what raw milk can do on the planet today.

Highlighting the values of ancient wisdom that many seem to have forgotten now, we look back to basics and talk about the benefits we could get from some food in raw form, particularly that of raw milk. In this episode, Dr. Jack Wolfson interviews Mark McAfee, CEO of Organic Pastures Dairy Company LLC. Together, they go through the history and truths of consuming raw milk, understanding how it has evolved throughout the years as well as the advantages it brings to our health. As you listen to this episode, start laying down the foundations of health through solid wholefood nutrition, move quickly back to the prevention of diseases, and embrace the bio-diversity of gut bacteria.

With 8 weeks to go until the Weston A. Price Foundation's 2012 Wise Traditions conference, The Appropriate Omnivore kicks off its series of Wise Traditions speakers. The first in the series is Mark McAfee, who runs Organic Pastures, one of the most sustainable farms around. Mark talks about how Organic Pastures operates to make sure that its raw milk is safe for consumers and its cows are treated in the most humane way. He explains why raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk. Mark also mentions the other products that Organic Pastures offers and how everything they produce has been because of the customers' requests.

Today we have a real-life superhero on the show who is keeping the standards of Organically Certified Raw Milk to the highest they can be, and leading the way for other farmers to follow. That man is Mark Mcafee. I first come across Mark many years ago watching a documentary called Farmageddon (if you haven’t watched it then head on over to YouTube and give it a watch) and I have closely followed his work since. Mark is the owner of the Organic Pastures farm and brand. The name Organic Pastures is synonymous with quality and the Organic Pastures farm is the only originally certified producer of Raw Milk in the state of California. To quote the Organic Pasture’s website, “Organic Pastures’ raw dairy products are simply that- products made from milk that is unprocessed, whole, and living, with all of its probiotic bacteria. NEVER pasteurized (heated), homogenized (crushed), or otherwise altered. We produce delicious world-class dairy products for you to enjoy.” You will be able to hear the passion with which Mark speaks about the necessity of quality farming, high standards and producing world-class Raw Milk throughout the whole show. In the show we discussed: How he got into producing Raw Milk Why pasteurised milk is one of the most allergenic foods on the planet Mark’s farming techniques and how he treats his cattle The history behind why pasteurisation started Why the soil is so important for our future The different breeds of cow Mark uses How he keeps his Raw Milk free from nasty pathogens The truth about Organic Certifications How Raw Milk can eradicate allergies Why Raw Milk isn’t just baby calves formula & much much more It was such an easy interview as Mark possesses so much passion for his work. He will be someone we will get back on the show for sure.

Why is raw milk illegal in some states? What are the risks associated with drinking it? How could a simple, straightforward product—like milk from a cow—have become so controversial? On today’s episode, Mark McAfee, the Chairman of the Raw Milk Institute, and the head of Organic Pastures Dairy, expounds on the topic with first-hand knowledge, experience, and passion. You’ll soon discover that Mark is a proponent of real, unadulterated, unpasteurized, grass-fed and pasture-raised raw milk. Mark explains the history of raw milk and pasteurization; he dives into the proteins and beneficial bacteria in raw milk; he contrasts raw milk with pasteurized milk and even "nut milks" on the market; and he discusses the role raw milk plays in the health of our gut microbiome. He gives us the big picture of the dairy industry world-wide, along with important information as to the benefits of including raw milk in your own diet.
