I had just about given up eating meat, just because I didn't like it & my daughter was a little farther down that path than I was. I had some pastered Dexter beef, the first from my farm & I started craving beef. I was eating it 3 meals a day for a while. My daughter was the same. She went from being a Vegitarian to being a Meatitarian in one bite. We're calmed down now & are over the craving. But, it was exactly the same as your experience w/ milk.<br />I'm still looking for a farming partner, if you know anyone who wants to do it. I figure anyone who has done things Joel's way will be just fine. It'll mean there's nothing for me to teach them. I get tired of training people & then having the pulled away by life!Our Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881846594569452669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319786384762939609.post-33684620326294061662009-04-12T15:47:00.000-07:002009-04-12T15:47:00.000-07:00I think we crave raw milk because its something we...I think we crave raw milk because its something we have been missing for years. Even though I never drank it till now (age 23) I think my body has been missing it because of some sort of instinctual craving. People have been drinking milk for as long as they have been domesticating animals (VERY LONG TIME), so it makes since that by changing a food you take away from its natural craving-killing power.Grady Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236758444221525158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319786384762939609.post-38602261942231229382009-04-10T12:15:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:15:00.000-07:00hey i just googled "raw milk craving" because i ha...hey i just googled "raw milk craving" because i have been craving it so much. my experience is the same as yours, never really liked the store stuff but crave the good stuff. isn't that so weird? why do you think our bodies crave it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319786384762939609.post-56646261369093200972009-03-18T16:18:00.000-07:002009-03-18T16:18:00.000-07:00Country Girl... the next blog is for you.Tracy... ...Country Girl... the next blog is for you.<BR/><BR/>Tracy...

At polyface to they grain anything? Are the chickens, pigs, cows exclusively on pasture?<BR/>~KimCountry Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391306626662391336noreply@blogger.com
