11 Bay State dairies that sell raw milk directly to consumers will jointly host Raw Milk Dairy Days. The event, to be held Sept. 11 and 12, is encouraged and promoted by the state chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association.
The public is being invited to tour the farms, watch milking demonstrations and, of course, sample and purchase raw milk. Marketing of raw (unpasteurized) milk at the farm is legal in Massachusetts. It's tightly regulated for safety by Massachusetts Department of Ag Resources.
Participating farms are: Chase Hill Farm, Warwick; Cricket Creek Farm, Williamstown; Eastleigh Farm, Framingham; Farmstead at Mine Brook, Charlemont; The Herb Hill Micro-Dairy, Andover; Lyons Brook Farm, Westport; Northfield Mount Hermon School Farm, Mt. Hermon; Oake Knoll Ayrshires, Foxboro; Robinson Farm, Hardwick; Sidehill Farm, Ashfield; and Upinngil Farm, Gill.
