They also talk about their experiences with raw milk and different types of cheese, including their homemade Cheddar and Colby cheeses.

Jamie & Carol discuss herbs like peppermint and their health benefits, as well as the benefits and challenges of consuming raw milk. They offer resources for finding raw milk farmers in your area & nationwide... and emphasize the importance of organic milk as a healthier alternative to processed milk.
