FRAMINGHAM — The state has ordered a Northside dairy to stop selling raw milk after a test revealed high levels of bacteria in a sample.
The milk, from Eastleigh Farm on Edmands Road, had 15 times the allowable limit of coliform, according to a cease-and-desist order that was in effect yesterday.
While the state says that kind of contamination is not unusual and is easy to correct, Eastleigh owner Doug Stephan disputes the accuracy of the test.
"We have our own milk tests that are done every week," Stephan said. "The report that the state had came from a testing facility that's connected to a company that, shall we say, is not eager to have me selling raw milk. The tests that we had showed that our counts were practically zero."
