Healthy goats~Healthy farms~Healthy milk

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.

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.  For more information click here to read the Washington State Department of Agriculture Raw Milk Dairy guidelines.
