EAST TROY, Wis. - People come to Mark Zinniker's farm for milk
they can't find in any grocery store.
Zinniker and his customers believe in the healing power of
unpasteurized milk - also called raw milk. But it's illegal to buy,
sell or give away in Wisconsin and about half the other states.
"In order for people to drink raw milk, they have to be
questioning the system," Zinniker said.
Raw milk producers and drinkers say they are following in the
footsteps of organic food enthusiasts, who were once considered a
fringe group, said Sandy Falun, president of the raw milk advocate
group Weston A. Price Foundation in Washington.
