Only use raw from grass fed raw milk which we pick up every week. I make a bread with only flour (organic sprouted spelt) and milk twice a week. And yes I know the milk is "not for human consumption"!!
Never had any issues with milk or dairy. Of course it was always better "back in the day"!
Have to admit I do change the recipe. Soak organic raisins for about an hour to plump them up and then add 2 tsp cinnamon. (make sure you make your flour self rising if you need)
Thank you for both recipes Luc. I'll take a look at them when I get a chance- the second one sounds delicious! If I make it I will let you know how it turned out since you haven't made it yet.
We only drink a2/a2 milk in our home from our Jersey cow. She is 100% grass fed which is so important. I have been milking Jerseys since 2004 and if I do not have a cow in milk we just stop dairy pretty much altogether.
Oh that is wonderful. I'm thinking of getting goats next year to milk…still not sure though. We could get a cow but I also want goats for some weed control.
We have three female Oberhasli goats and five male Oberhaslis. We have milked goats on and off since 2005. This breed is a threatened breed so we chose to raise them for a while. Slow growers.
Goats are pretty interesting. Over the years we raised Nubians, Saanens and a few Boers. Saanens were so easy to keep, Nubians were escape artists and Boers were not too bad. These Obers are pretty mellow.
I've consumed milk products all my life with no problems. I've heard that people who are lactose intolerant can often consume raw milk products without any problems. Do you know if that's true?
Yes, search for my post on raw milk. Raw milk contains bacteria that facilitate the creation of lactase, the enzyme needed to breakdown lactose. Pasteurized milk destroys these beneficial bacteria.
Thank you for the article. I knew there was a difference between the two but your article got into more specifics than I knew. I love dairy. Most of my life I have drank raw milk and I love cheese too. I’m over 60 and still love my dairy and have never had and sensitivity to it. (I also have never broken a bone). I hate seeing all the “avoid dairy” propaganda but maybe my Scandinavian heritage has something to do with my tolerance?
There are people who do better without dairy. The other issues is our poor quality food supply and the hormones that are in dairy, pasteurization which can destroy beneficial bacteria, and processed cheese that is marketed in a way that people believe foods like kraft cheese slices are pure cheese.
Braums, which is a dairy store/ice cream shop/ fast food restaurant/ in OK and TX is converting their herd to A2. Their milk is all A2 - I'm not sure if all of their product is A2 yet. They are not certified organic, but they have their own herd and I believe they follow organic practices. I primarily buy their milk to.make yogurt. Grew up drinking raw milk from our farm and never liked milk. We even had milk breaks in elementary school.
I never liked milk either and we had to drink it in kindergarten- I would try to sneak and throw it out often but was forced to drink that little milk container! The teacher would pull the carton back out of the garbage can.

Have not had bread in ages, but that does sound delicious!

You have a lot of goat experience!
Well, I started this journey way back in 2003 so over the vast amount of years there I have picked up a few things
Interesting. I had a French alpine goat growing up but only as a pet that I rescued from a slaughter house.
