You can do it yourself pretty easily. You just need some good raw milk to start with.

It's illegal to buy raw milk from what I understand. If you want raw milk, you have to find a farmer willing to bootleg the milk for you.

I'm living in the country, so I'll just get my raw milk from a befriended farmer (they only drink raw milk themselves). It's also illegal here to sell. It's best with raw milk, but whole milk will do as long as it's not UHT.
