Do you remember
(or have you at least heard about) when milk was delivered fresh to your doorstep every morning from the cows living on the farm down the street? Those cows grazed in fields of healthy grass touched only by cows' hooves and mouths and farmers' feet.Nowadays, most people only know about the processed milk we buy in the stores, which usually comes from cows kept in tiny pens, routinely fed antibiotics to keep from getting sick and given growth hormones to increase milk production, fed corn meal from the big farm corporations growing acres and acres of corn, which cows' stomachs don't digest very well. This is milk that isn't really milk any longer, at least not the way nature intended.
Mi Milk Maidens works together with a local farm to provide you with milk directly from your cows through a cooperative membership program. Your cows are treated humanely, grazed in fields untouched by chemicals, and aren't fed growth hormones or regular antibiotics.
Many of our members have personally experienced health benefits through drinking fresh milk, including some who have suffered lactose intolerance in the past, but who now enjoy their fresh milk with none of the physical problems they previously suffered when they tried drinking store-bought, pasteurized milk. Studies have shown increased health benefits of drinking milk from grass-fed cows, including an increase in the amount of CLA ("conjugated linoleic acid") and Omega 3's.
