Will you be offering other products? We are currently only offering whole milk. There are no other products planned for the near future. Is your milk pasteurized? Yes, our milk is pasteurized for your safety and ours. It is against the law to sell raw unpasteurized milk in Canada. What is the difference between homogenized milk and non- homogenized milk?
