2020 Raw Milk Producer Survey

6.17.20
Raw milk has long been a foundational issue for Rural Vermont. We are strong believers in the benefits of raw, grass-based dairy. We have seen firsthand how raw dairy contributes to the economic well-being of community-scale farms, however we also recognize that the current regulations make economic viability difficult for raw milk producers. Our goal is to further improve raw milk statute through pursuit of legislative changes in the 2021 legislative biennium, as well as advocate for the Agency of Agriculture to support the raw dairy community by instating logical, scale-appropriate regulations that make sense while prioritizing animal health and human safety.

Rural Vermont is pursuing a grassroots campaign to identify priority changes to improve the raw milk law. Are you a raw dairy producer? We want to hear from you! Take the survey today (deadline 8/1/20).
