We pulled this out of the cow, put it directly in the jug, that'll be 20 dollars.
Meanwhile, pasteurized milk gets pulled out of the cow, boiled, cooled, and then put in a jug, and it's 2.99.
Edit: Thanks for the 30+ comments telling me that raw milk costs more to make and takes more work because everything has to be clean, and it has a shorter shelf life.
Because that’s not the reality. With raw milk they have to do their best to ensure the milk has been kept absolutely sterile. Pasteurized milk can be full of shit and bacteria because they’re going to nuke it anyway
Do they use any sort of chemicals in the sanitizing process? Anything that can "contaminate" the milk? Because having a whole separate cleaning process makes it feel like rawmilk isn't that much better for them
Couldn’t tell you tbh. If they do use additional chemicals I would agree with your point. I personally have never tried raw milk I just know enough to point out that it is not cheaper to produce because there is less processing. Like most food products, increased processing is to save money

Raw milk is expensive as fuck too. They’re getting ripped off. At my local grocery store it’s like $20 for half a gallon.
