We, the undersigned, argue that regulations should not limit the ability of friends to purchase and deliver raw milk to friends in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Our position on the proposed changes to the raw milk regulations outlawing buying clubs: Any change to the regulation should clearly state that raw milk consumers can designate an agent to pick up their milk for them. Just as the responsibility for safe transport is entrusted to the consumer when they leave the farm with their milk, so should that responsibility be entrusted to an agent.

The feedback I have received from many of you highlights how essential this autonomy is to your families and your own personal health decisions. I am currently working to translate these notes into a formal brief for the Department of Agricultural Resources. Your clear commitment to this issue provides the necessary weight for that upcoming conversation.

Reaching this level of support confirms that many people share a deep concern for our fundamental right to choose the food we provide for our families. It is encouraging to see this many individuals affirm that the responsibility for our dietary decisions belongs with us rather than an agency.

Ridiculous rules. Let us get our milk how we want, why make it so hard for people who live far from the farm?

Raw milk has been around forever. Government needs to get out of our kitchens and stop these buying clubs from being harassed.
