Is it possible to find non-homogenized cow milk here. I live in New Tampa area. Thank you.
Thanks for your answers. I found the milk in the Nutrition Smart (very nice inexpensive health-food store!)
Milk from Pennsylvania sounds interesting but I prefer something local, particularly when it is about raw products.
You can try Whole Foods Natural Market. Like Wendy said the Government has total control in our Natural food markets, they do inspect. One place I go to cannot sell it any more because the government put a stop to it.

Ana, I think what you are referring to is pasteurization, not homogenization. Consuming non-homogenized milk will not make you sick. It just means the cream is not homogeneous (mixed throughout), rather, it rises to the top.
Wild Oats doesn't sell it. I've gotten some at Abby's, but have since heard the farmer feeds his cattle treated grains, not grass and Abby is looking into his license. There is a co-op that gets non-past. and non-hom. milk from an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania. A friend of mine runs it. I haven't ordered yet, but I plan on it soon. They order every other week and pick up is every other Tuesday morning in Lutz. You can also order raw cheeses, eggs, and all kinds of organic meats. It is illegal to transport across state lines, but they have worked out a comprehensive contract with a lawyer in California to get around it. I was concerned I'd be doing something illegal, but it's not because of the contract. You just have to sign it before you order. I'll send you a private message with my email, and email me back and I'll send you the information.
Nutrition Smart on Bearss and Dale Mabry has some. I think it's low heat pasteurized and is not homogonized. As far as the legal side of it. It's the pasteurization that is the issue. When people sell unpasteurized milk, they have to sell it "for animal use only" If you know a farmer and know his/her standards, it can be safe to drink unpasteurized milk and is actually much better for you than pasteurized milk, but as is the case so often, the government thinks they know what better for us than we do. :o( You're definitely a step ahead to use the unhomogonized milk.
i don't believe it is legal to sell non - homogenized milk. it goes against FDA rules. you may be able to find a local dairy that will sell it to you. but it would have to be a quiet thing. if they sell it and you get sick, then you can sue and they can be in legal problems with the federal government.
Have you checked at any of the health food stores? Like Chuck's, Wild Oats, etc?
