Thank you for your interest in the Washington RAW Milk website!
This website was born with the desire to help RAW milk producers & consumers in WA State find each other. Since the State doesn't list a public listing of all currently licensed RAW dairies, I've thought for a while that it would be great to put together a website so that consumers looking for RAW dairy could find a location near them!
There is one website (http://realmilk.com) that does this, and it is a great resource! But if you don't know where all the cities in WA are, it can be hard to figure out who's close to you. The site is also not updated very often. If you are looking for just goat or cow milk you have to read through ALL the listings, to find one close to you.
At WaRAWmilk you will find a GoogleMap on the home page that will have blue markers in all the locations that RAW milk is available! So, all you have to do is scroll to the area you live. Zoom in and then click on a blue marker to see who's providing RAW milk in your area. You can even enter your address and figure out exactly how far the location is from your house.
Then if you look in the navigation bar at the top you will find three links, one for Goat Dairies, another for Cow Dairies, and another for Cheese (raw & pasteurized). (You'll also find a smaller link for those micro-dairies that pasteurize cheese and milk.) Here you will find a list of Dairies, the city & county they live in, that are members of WaRAWmilk.com. If you click on one of the Dairies you will find a page of information on their dairy and practices, locations for buying their milk, pictures (if they submit any), and contact info! All information will be updated as often as the Dairy sends me new info.
I realize that this will only be as complete as how well we are able to get the word out, so PLEASE pass the word around and help RAW dairies get noticed and help consumers find their RAW dairy! ;-)
**NOTE**
I have changed the format of this site a bit! ANYONE can send me RAW milk locations to be added to the map on the home page at NO cost! Please go to the Join page and fill out the info for additions to the map.
If you want your Dairy/Pickup/Drop location to be located in one of the drop down options (gives you more exposure and visitors can learn more about you) in the navigation bar you will need to fill out the Join WaRAWmilk form on the Join page for the introductory price of $5/yr that runs though July '09.
I am open to all ideas you might have to make this site more user friendly and helpful in selling or buying your RAW dairy. Please feel free to contact me! ;-)
