BRAWM Team: *All* Milk Results Are From An Organic Dairy ?

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2011-04-25 18:08

Hello BRAWM team,

For milk you have two sections

Pasteurized, Homogenized Milk
and
"Raw" Milk

Are all the results in both categories "results for milk samples obtained from a Bay Area organic dairy where the farmers are encouraged to feed their cows local grass"?

Just curious if any was regular store bought milk.

Thanks

That's right; the "store bought" we indeed purchased from the grocery store, but we are purchasing only milk that we can trace back to local, open range cows.
