State senator Kay Hagan (from Greensboro) has filed a bill that would allow people to buy raw, unpasteurized milk from local dairy farmers. The Senate approved the bill by a vote of 39-9 last week. -Under state law, farmers and other people who own cows are free to drink raw milk.
-But since 2004, the state legislature outlawed a practice known as
“cow-sharing,” it has been illegal in North Carolina to sell raw milk for human
consumption. Hagan’s bill now goes to the N.C. House of Representatives.
If it is approved there, consumers would be allowed to enter into contracts with farmers to buy a “share” of their cows and get raw milk from them. It would still be illegal to sell it commercially.
