Authors: Tim Smith

Rhode Island:
Raw milk sales are illegal with the exception of raw goat’s milk from the farm to the consumer with a physician’s prescription.

South Carolina:
Raw goat’s milk is permitted for on-farm purchase and in retail stores. Raw cow’s milk is allowed only for farm-direct sales to consumers.

South Dakota:
Raw milk purchases are permitted on-farm only.

Tennessee:
Raw milk sales are illegal with the exception of pet consumption. A cow-share program is legal.

Texas:
Raw milk is legal only as farm-direct to consumers, providing the farm holds a grade A “Raw for retail” license. Currently no cow dairies have this permit, though there are a few goat dairies. There are several cow-share programs active in the state.

Utah:
Raw milk sales are permitted on-farm directly to the consumer.

Vermont:
Raw milk sales are legal only through on-farm direct to the consumer. Farmers are permitted to sell only twenty-five quarts (24 L) per day.

Virginia:
Raw milk sales are illegal. Cow-share programs are available.

Washington:
Only certified grade-A dairies can sell raw milk, but none have taken this step since the 1920s. Cow-share programs are widely available.

West Virgina:
Raw milk sales are illegal.

Wisconsin:
Although the Wisconsin statutes do not prohibit “incidental sales of milk directly to the consumer at the dairy farm where the milk was produced,” health inspectors interpret “incidental” as one sale and no more. This has essentially eliminated raw milk purchases.

Wyoming:
Raw milk sales are illegal.
