Milk is misunderstood
For thousands of years, people drank milk straight from the cow. It was simply milk.
About a century ago, industrialisation changed that. The original became "raw," and the processed version became "normal," without much question.
This isn't about saying pasteurised milk is bad. It's about remembering what came before, and that it still exists.
Plaw Hatch Farm in Sussex, a biodynamic cooperative running for 45 years, produces unpasteurised milk that's tested daily and collected by families from across the country. The women who run it don't call it "raw milk." They call it milk.
This spring, we visited to make a film to ask a simple question: what else have we been told is dangerous that was once just the way things were?
