Subject: Act Now for Raw Milk in Massachusetts!


Dear Friend,


Currently in Massachusetts, raw milk is only allowed to be directly sold from a certified raw milk producer’s property. Bill S.43, filed by Sen. Anne Gobi, would expand raw milk access by allowing for raw milk delivery to customers as long as the milk is sold prior to delivery.

 

Please act now on this bill! See action steps below and share this alert with your friends and family in Massachusetts.

 

In good health,


Alexia Kulwiec

Executive Director
