Maybe Weston Price's website has a listing of
organic farmers you can buy real butter from. I
know there is lady in my neck of the woods
(Vegas) who sells fresh real butter, milk, goat
milk , yogurt etc from her organic farm with healthy, well fed animals.

Also listed are sources for liquid milk, cheese, yoghurt and cream.

Butter - The best commercial brands of butter are
probably Organic Valley and Tillamook they are
pasteurized, but come from cows that are mostly
pasture-fed. New Zealand butter is available
through
<http://www.grassfedtraditions.com/grass_fed_butter.htm>Tropical
Traditions. It is not raw, but it is from 100%
pasture fed cows. A growing number of farmers
sell raw butter from pasture-fed cows directly to
the consumer and ship within the continental US.
Many of them place classified ads in Wise
Traditions, the magazine of the

I heard Tillamook (shame, shame) set up a
grain-feeding operation in the Eastern Oregon
desert, but haven't checked out the facts on
that. The Western Oregon rain forest has green
grass year round, and that is where Tillamook,
Oregon is. I'm in Eastern Oregon, with cows as
far as the eye and see - and beyond, but they are
steers for steak. Can I find a milk cow, no, but
I haven't tried real hard yet. Now that spring
has sprung I downloaded the file below.
There are other directories when I have time to look them up.
And there is this Yahoo Group
[email protected]
and in the files section, it tells you how to
ferret out local sources of raw dairy.
OK, OK, here's another related directory:

Directory of Pasture-Based Farmers
United States, Canada and Republic of Panama
The Eatwild.com Directory of Pasture-Based
Farmers lists more than 800 farms, making it the
most comprehensive source for grass-fed meat and
dairy products in the United States and Canada.
Mercola was going to set up a directory, did that ever happen?

There are more ... like any omnivore raw food
discussion group knows the best sources.
