RAW MILK
What is Raw?
That’s easy – it’s unpasteurized!
Pasteurization is the process where milk is heated up to kill any harmful bacteria that may be present in milk. At Grace Heritage Dairy, milk is left in the raw form to allow YOU to decide how you want to handle your product. Raw goats milk has a rich and delicious flavor.
