RAW Dairy Campaign: Do You Want To Help?

I hope this finds everyone well this wonderful, warm summer day! Summer is definitely in it's prime right now! :)

So for many years now, Dutch Meadows farm and our family have been involved in trying to update our raw milk laws so that more of you can exercise your basic human right to access the foods of your choice, especially raw dairy.

It is a slow process. We want you to be able to continue buying raw butter, adding raw cream, and any raw products you want along with your raw milk. Often, the process towards decriminalization is 2 steps forward, 1 step back. But we must keep going. Our raw dairy products are definitely at stake!

Your support means everything to us. We know that you are committed to greater access to raw products now and for future generations.

For several years now, we have been working towards a policy in Pennsylvania to expand sales options for raw dairy farms. We are excited to tell you that we are in the final push towards a positive change.

And yes, your voice definitely counted back in 2020 when we asked for letters of support to the state. We still have them and will definitely continue using them if needed. Thanks to those of you that responded! :)

We want to be clear that what we are working towards will greatly help our whole community of Pennsylvania raw dairy farmers. This is a PA policy specifically that we are working towards. However, we strongly believe that a chance in PA will be an inspiration to other states to act accordingly.

And this particular change will help our PA community of farmers sustain their on-farm businesses. We need this change and we need it now.

We need your help. We cannot do this without outside help. As such, we have contracted with a consultant who has worked on these issues for many years. We have the highest faith that these efforts will bear fruit in the very near future. But we do need help funding these extra expenses.

Please help us in two ways:

1. Donate to our raw milk legalization campaign here. Any amount helps enormously. You can choose $10, $50, or $100 dollar increments by adding them as products to your current or new order. If you are not placing a food order, you can still add to your cart and put it through like an order.

2. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the outcome we have been working towards for so long.

As always, we thank you for your continued support, your belief in us as your REAL farmers, and your desire to help our larger community of REAL sustainable like-minded farmers. Lets keep building the legacy for our next generations in a positive way! :)

From your farmer,

Dave at Dutch Meadows

P.S. We will share with you later on exactly how the funds get used to the dollar, nothing to hide! :) Please let us know if you have any questions by replying to this email or calling us at 717-442-9208

Order Deadlines

Hello, due to a recent increase in requests, we feel it is necessary to point out that we cannot accommodate any late orders or order edits after the deadline at 10 AM ET on your specified day. (Please see chart below). Please refrain from submitting requests beyond this time, as we are unable to process them. To ensure a smooth experience, we strongly encourage placing your order the day before the deadline, or even a couple of days in advance. We experience a high volume of calls just before the order deadline, and we cannot guarantee that all calls or phone orders will be handled in the final hours leading up to the cutoff. Submitting your order before the deadline day helps avoid any last-minute delays that could prevent your order from being processed in time.  Remember, we are not a warehouse full of oversupply product that has been sitting around and ready to ship at a moment's notice. As small farmers, we require sufficient time to prepare your orders. This includes bottling milk, sorting eggs, retrieving meats from inventory, harvesting fresh vegetables, and coordinating with various vendors and farmers to ensure that fresh products are available. You are our valued customer and our goal is to bring you fresh, quality, REAL foods while streamlining the whole process from soil and farm > to process > to pack > to your table! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or need clarification on our ordering process. Thank you for your understanding.
