Does anyone sell raw unpasteurised milk in Sheffield?

As the title says, does anyone sell raw unpasteurised milk in Sheffield? I know it's available from the Lincoln Poacher cheese stall at the local Farmer's Markets, but is there anywhere that sells it more regularly?

On the Wikipedia page for unpasteurised milk the photo is of a bottle with a Bradfield address, T & JM White. Do they still sell it?

On you first link it says:-

Distribution of raw milk is illegal in Scotland. While it is legal in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the only registered producers are in England.[15] About 200 producers sell raw, or "green top" milk direct to consumers, either at the farm, at a farmers' market, or through a delivery service. The bottle must display the warning "this product has not been heat-treated and may contain organisms harmful to health", and the dairy must conform to higher hygiene standards than dairies producing only pasteurised milk.

As it is only legal to supply unpasteurised milk direct to consumers, it is illegal to be sold on the High Street, via shops or supermarkets.

So unless you can find a farmer to pop it round to your house for you you're stuck with the farmers market.

Yes, I realise that you can only buy it direct from the farmer, so I'm asking if there are any local farmers that sell it?

It's delicious stuff and a totally different experience from drinking the pasteurised, homogenised and even filtered stuff you can buy at the supermarket.

I prefer the processed stuff myself, I used to stay at a camp-site in Wales(Welsh Wales) that sold it to us campers but I prefer to imagine that my foodstuff is manufactured, the thought of it coming straight out of a grubby cows udder without some kind of cleaning process does my bulb in.

Supermarket mentality, I know:hihi:

Not bovine, But i can remember playing football as a young un and being thirsty stealing milk from a goat in the farmers field we played in. One hand to milk one as a cup.

You can't beat the taste of real milk hot from the beast.

My friend buys hers from yummy Yorkshire - Delphi house farm near penistone. You may be better ringing first to check they def have it in. It's a nice place for coffee and ice cream too!!

It took a bit of searching, but this must be the place, thanks for the tip -

Looks like they deliver to S1, S11 and S36 which is handy as I'm in S11.

Rather you than me in light of the TB scare. If you do contract it can we shoot you

You'd hope they'd been immunised against TB.

Green top milk is amazing stuff, used to get some on a special occasion from a farmer with a herd of Jersey cows.

There's extra checks imposed before milk can be sold raw. It has to be from a certified brucelosis and tuberculosis free herd and the checks are more frequent than for milk that can be sold pasteurised.

Homogenisation of milk is a health worry for some. The theory is the emulsifiers used to homogenise the milk mean that more saturated fat can enter your blood stream, but I don't know if this is borne out by the facts. Why it needs to be homogenised is a puzzle to me. I used to like it when the cream floated to the top. As it still does with raw milk

There's a good article here on the joys of unpasteurised milk - http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/nov/23/raw-milk-revolution

I would imagine that the taste must be something else in comparison.

There are also many reports that unpasteurised milk is less healthy, a health danger in fact but it's not unusual to have reports for and against. I did find this bit interesting though from your link

''Hygiene aside, we have been sold the myth that milk is full of fat: a dairy industry delighted to sell its raw material twice (as "healthy" skimmed milk, and the skimmed-off cream) has somehow convinced us that whole milk is not good for us.''

We were also sold the myth that we needed the stuff in the first place. Marketing is/can be very persuasive/manipulative/cunning.
