Thank
you for your interest in our farm-processed Grade 'A' Raw Goats
Milk. Our small herd of Nubian dairy goats provide
us with wonderful milk which is
bottled fresh daily for our approved customers. We
pay close attention to the overall nutrition and health of our
animals to ensure the highest quality and best tasting milk.
We hope that you find answers to all of your questions about the
farm here on our website, but
if not, please feel free to contact us for more information and
we will be happy to provide answers to your specific
questions. You may contact the
farm to inquire about space availability in our
program. We only
sell
direct to the customer, not at Farmer's Markets or in
Stores. Typically, if we have space available, we arrange a
mutual interview with our potential customers to provide an
opportunity to meet, see our processes and provide ample
opportunity for questions and answers.

Our
goal is to know all of our customers as an extension of our farm
family, therefore we do not have surplus milk available
for 'drop-in' customers, but will be happy to arrange for a
mutual interview so you may purchase a half-gallon to try. |
Raw Milk - Is It Safe?
Some people even ask us if it’s legal to sell! Yes, in
Washington State, it is legal
to sell IF IT IS SOLD FROM A PROPERLY LICENSED DAIRY!
The controversies rage over the direct consumption of raw milk
which does have the potential for carrying pathogens as it is an
excellent medium for supporting life, which is why it’s such a
good food. Promoters of raw milk claim that pasteurization
changes the milk and destroy vitamins and other important
substances, and that healthy, well cared for milk does not allow
the growth of pathogens. Detractors say that vitamin destruction
is minimal, that health claims are unsubstantiated, and that all
raw milk is potentially dangerous. Where the truth lies is not
yet clear, but we can tell you that we make every effort to keep
our herd healthy, we do our very best to keep our animals,
facilities and equipment clean and in top condition. Beyond
that, we at Conway Farms are diligent in our efforts to provide
you with the healthiest, most wholesome product that we possibly
can. Raw goat milk tastes richer and more delicious with a
variety of complex flavors. The Conway family drinks the milk
daily with no ill affects. Yes, it is more delicious than
pasteurized milk, and yes, we DO sell raw milk!
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not allow
raw milk to cross state lines. States set their own rules about
raw milk and they are increasingly restrictive. In Washington,
state law permits producers to sell raw milk. Farmers must be
licensed by the state of Washington to sell from their farms.
