“Drinking Farm Milk Reduces Childhood Asthma & Allergies”

June 9, 2007

The above titled article was pulled from Science Daily on May 11, 2007.

“Researchers from Europe and the USA Studied 14,893 children aged between five and 13 in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.”

“Drinking farm milk can protect children against asthma and hayfever, according to a study of nearly 15,000 children published in the May issue of Clinical and Experimental Allergy”.

“Lower levels of diagnosed asthma were also observed for all farm-produced dairy products and eating farm eggs also provided protection against hayfever. However, these foods only provided increased protection when the children also drank unpasteurized farm milk – not in isolation.”

The 3 week old chickens went out to pasture last evening. At dusk, the small chickens were picked up carefully by hand and put into our old reliable chicken crates by our good natured farm employees. Using an old flat bed wagon, we trundled them across the road and into their pasture huts. The huts are strickly for shade and shelter. The chickens were out cruising the pasture bugs and grasses by early dawns light. It's so good to see them out and about.

I ran across a good raw milk article by Mike Adams. He is the editor of a web site called Natural News. Check it out.

In a time of oversupply of organic milk, there are few options for the farmer to change to a different milk processor. Visit the Organic Valley web site to express your opinion.
