Trautman Family Farm

I (Scott) ended up down at the Dane County Farmers Market after milking Saturday. As I like to say, it's one of those scary sounding things that are just well, obvious, and not scary. So: I was listening to the voices in my head, and doing what they tell me to. That's right. The internal dialog -- which is focused, now -- so intensely on this Raw Milk War -- War on Family Farmers -- war on the Trautmans --- is getting really, really creative -- and is really joyful, playful -- and full of energy to experiment.

 So when I say I'm acting on what the voices in my head are saying: They're coming from love, and enthusiasm, and good, and just bursting out all over the place.

I called our great friends -- my daughter's godfather -- the Andres, Bruce and Cindy, if they'd be up for a little bit of naughty fun down at the Dane County Farmers Market. Of course, when do you want us. That kind of people -- always -- we are the needy ones, the Andre's are there for us time after time.

So we go down, park just off West Wash. Bruce on Camera. Or Cindy. Doesn't matter. You got my back? Yeah. Alright then, let's do this thing.

I've got a gallon of my milk under my arm. Freshly poured from the bulk tank into a gallon jar. Having been from the cows I just finished milking an hour ago. (don't look at me like that when you figure that out to be milking at 10am. We milk once a day). And a glass.

 We get out of the car, walk across the street, walk 50 feet, and who do we run into -- a guy with a placard tied on front and back -- "RAW MILK INTERVIEWS HERE". Guy with a video camera, like us.

We both yell out and run and hug, just like that. People are definitely looking at us now -- so it's MAX KANE, another common criminal like ourselves, raw milk criminal -- and he came up with this idea on his own, so did I, Kosmic Karma with a Kapital K.

So the Raw Pack here starts wandering around, you know, bustin' heads an' stuff, gettin' all rowdy you know. Wait, that didn't happen, although Max  can sure express himself on his feelings about, well, people, organizations he, like us, are having a way rough time with.

THIS is a TEASER folks -- we have VIDEO -- with what I promise to be world premier of the most simple explanation of the  raw milk law in Wisconsin ever. You will be shocked; you will be amazed; laugh, cry, etc. etc. etc.

C'mon people -- reach out to us -- help us defend ourselves in this war that DATCP is waging on us -- bring in your friends -- tell them this is important, they need to know about this ---

 See you back here soon -- with video from my morning on the square!

Hello everyone --

The real war - against family farms - has been going on for years. In not so, and in subtle ways. A completely antagonistic Food Safety group -- to helping family farmers, and dead set on KILLING our family farms in their Jihad against RAW MILK.

 Right now -- WE ARE SHUT DOWN and DUMPING our precious beautiful milk 100% on the ground -- because DATCP - Department of Ag, Trade & Consumer Protection -- wants us DEAD.

Here's a public accounting of that -- boy do I have more details for you, though.

http://www.thecountrytoday.com/story-news.asp?id=BLJ2AUV707U 

But not just our farm -- any upstart farm that would dare have their own customers -- dare to succeed -- and not be a servent - a slave -- to the dairy processors of Wisconsin. That's what it's REALLY all about.

28 other states have SOME kind of SENSIBILITY when it comes to raw milk.

Ask yourself this question -- if you doubt whether raw milk can be safe -- straight from the cow to you by a safe and professional farm family--

Are you sure nature got it wrong the first time? Mothers? Can you chime in here -- formula maybe instead?

Can you believe that man and science are better than nature --

-- or that our cows to a one MUST BE SICK, to warrent that all milk everywhere needs to be pasteurized?

-- their war cannot be about SAFETY -- ask 100,000 present and PAST dairymen that have drank from their bulk tanks for 100 years -- and their families, too--and the millions across our nation that drink raw milk every day safely. Really! FACT: It is not illegal to consume raw milk: it is only illegal to PROFIT from it! How can you hate farmers that much, DATCP, Food Safety, Steve Ingham?

**** TELL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS you are sick of DATCP abusing family farms. HELP FAMILY FARMS survive NOW -- we need the help NOW - with Safe Raw Milk NOW.

 **** BE your "groups" Family Farm Defender -- get your group of friends this information -- and start the conversation with them. They don't care yet, because they don't know what's at stake -- for Wisconsin -- for all of us -- and most importantly for our children.

**** EDUCATE YOURSELF! Raw Milk needs to be really known -- not just the fear that Food Safety people everywhere scream at you. Facts. google 'raw milk' -- but get the FACTS and not the FEAR.

___ LOOK FOR AND SUPPORT A GREAT RAW MILK BILL. It is COMING SOON.  

 --- FIND ME on Facebook, Please! Fans and Supporters of Trautman Family Farm for up to the minute thoughts and -- to just get to know what kind of human I am. I'd like that a lot -- to get to know you.
 

 **** STAY TUNED HERE -- ACTION -- SOON
