Learn How to Make Raw Cow Butter in Minutes!

Milk Diet as a Remedy for Chronic Disease (Classic Reprint)
Learn how nourishing your body with fresh, raw/un-processed organic milk will tremendously improve a person's health!
Homemade RAW Butter!!

Hello, Everyone! Today's post features Organic Pastures and their quick, easy recipe for making raw (un-processed) cow butter. I learned about Organic Pastures (and a list of other organic dairy farmers) while searching for organic milk (and icecream)  brands on-line. During that search I discovered an article entitled, 'Best Brands of Organic Milk' and as I read the article I saw links for 'Maintaining the Integrity of Organic Milk', and 'milk brand scorecard'. I read the milk brand scorecard, saw that a score of '5' was the best score, then looked for brands that scored '5' and '4', in my area. Organic Pastures is one of the brands that scored '5'. It's not one of the brands in my area, however, it is a brand that had a score of '5' with a good website and a share-able, informational video that I could share with all of you.  I did find a full-line dairy, Organic Valley, that scored a '4', has a good website and a share-able video and milk available in my area, too. They distribute nationwide and I've included their video, as well.

This raw (un-processed) cow butter recipe should be a great 'find' for all (including me) who love cow butter and want a very healthy, excellent quality of butter. My paternal grandparents lived on their own farm estate and had a herd of grass-fed cows in their pastures. So, I probably was consuming organic, raw cow milk and raw cow butter each time I/we visited them, as children and teenagers, and didn't know it.

During some of the visits to my paternal granparents' farm estate, I used to stand at the fence surrounding one of their pastures as a child with my brother, one of my sisters, and a cousin and I'd make moo-ing sounds until I got a moo in response from one cow or more (the cow(s) wouldn't moo immediately. They'd stand in place, turn their head in the direction of the moo and then just look at me for awhile as if it/they were thinking, "That's the most unusual cow I've ever seen.") . It made me laugh with delight when a cow would respond with a moo and this memory makes me smile and chuckle to this day! I confess ... I'm a brainy, website designing, visual artist and blogger with a sense of humor  for the harmless, silly things like moo-ing at cows. When I have my own cows I may even moo at them, on ocassion, because it's kind of silly and it makes me laugh at myself. Not surprisingly, the moo-ing sound at the beginning of the Organic Valley video reminds me of those times.

As you all may know by now from previous posts, I'm a cow milk lover (whole milk) and have been since I was a child. As a matter of fact, water and milk were my top two beverages for all of my childhood, teenage years and twenties, with tea being the third highest. I had milk with cereal (a bowl for breakfast, or a bowl for a snack, or a bowl for dessert), I had milk with cookies, I had milk with cake, I had milk with chocolate syrup, and I had milk all by itself; just a plain/nothing-added glass of delicious milk! Oh yes, and, the milk we added to the batter of baked goods. That's a good bit of milk!

Well, I stopped consuming cow milk a few years ago, due to the bad reports of the abysmal treatment and health of cows. I'd been in very good health until then; without all of that extra protection of the milk, I experienced dental cavities in acceleration. I missed having cow milk in my daily nutrition/diet for its benefits and its deliciousness. However, I happily resumed drinking cow milk when I discovered organically-produced cow milk!

My consumption of milk isn't back to 100% yet, however when I do get to consume it, I discern the positive difference/effects almost immediately! So, I'm looking forward to gaining regular access to a locally-produced organic, raw cow milk real soon. Furthermore, as soon as I obtain my own dream house farm estate I plan to have my own organic farm (orchards and vineyard, included) and start off with a few organic: cows, chickens, rabbits and goats. Then, I can have truly local, organic, raw cow milk as often as I desire to. Of course, I plan to score/rate a '5' like all the farmers/dairies that scored/rated as '5' on the milk brand scorecard! It's good to be lactose-tolerant; the right cow milk really does do the body a whole lot of good!

Speaking of tolerance for lactose, three of the other members of my family are lactose-intolerant, therefore they didn't drink milk in the quantity I did and their health reflects that fact to this day, even though they eat as nutritiously as I do (regular consumption of fresh raw and cooked vegetables, fresh raw fruit, fresh nuts and quality meats)! Now, I'm learning of the vast health benefits of organic, raw (un-processed) cow milk and I'm sharing this knowledge with them (because raw cow milk is a milk that they can digest/handle) and those of you that didn't know of raw cow milk, yet. I always suspected that my regular consumption of cow milk was a crucial factor in my overall health and now I know for sure that it was.

Well, I hope that all of the information from this post and this blog is helpful to you, your family, friends and acquaintances. All of us deserve to be healthy.
