Have you ever tried raw milk for your family? We have cows that we've milked in the past, and plan to start milking next Spring after the next batch of calves. We don't do soy either due to hormonal issues :). Thanks Darcy! Have you ever tried raw milk for your family?

Our family has done this as after discovering in 2007 that that baby was allergic to dairy, we discovered we all are allergic to dairy (it's just that some of us have more severe reactions). Using goat milk has allowed us to still enjoy what we love (homemade goat milk ice-cream!). I tried rice milk (hated the taste, although okay in baking) and soy milk (terrible for my hormones) and goat milk is the best. Cheese has been the hardest thing to adjust to as all goat cheese is expensive and the cheaper the goat cheese, the worse the taste! The only good goat cheese I have had my parents bought at a gourmet cheese shop (we definitely can't fit that in our budget!). But, we have to remember that this is only for a season. As the kids get older, we allow some dairy in the diet (i.e. cheese). I am back to avoiding it as we have twins that are nursing, but when they wean, I will eat some cheese!
