Our family and some of our friends would appreciate the sale of raw milk in our state! We think it is the best milk to drink!

I already consume raw milk. In addition, I consume other raw milk products - yogurt, kefir, sour cream, ice cream and butter, both regular butter and cultured butter. Not only have I not gotten sick from it, nor any of my family or friends, I have improved my health. Friends of mine who are lactose intolerant can consume these products and not experience the digestive problems that they get when consuming pasteurized dairy products. I dairy products from ONLY grass-fed cows that do not receive any antibiotics, hormones or feeds, just grass and hay and the land/grass is not treated with any pesticides, herbicides, etc. Please pass this bill.

Gentlemen thank you for bringing New Jersey one step closer to good nutrition. Raw milk is good for the people of the estate, good for our farmers and herdsmen, good for the overall economy of the estate. Thank for you kind attention to this matter.

Both PA and NY allow the sale of fresh milk products. It's time to end this nonsensical restriction!

My family and I have been drinking raw milk for years. It us very rich and sweet and loaded with tons of nutrients that is a major part of our wellness. We look, feel great and have no sicknesses. I am a New Jersey resident and currently travel to Pennsylvania onceca week for our milk. This milk is a great
natural food source that will help keep us well and free from disease. New Jersey residents should have the option to purchase in state. Pass "A696" today for the land if the free, right.

I support raw milk sales in NJ. I now drive out of state to by raw milk, which I don't mind, but I'd like to see some NJ farmers reaping the benefits.

I have shared "imported" raw milk from Pennsylvania with a number of lactose intolerant friends in New Jersey and to their great surprise, not a single one had the slightest adverse reaction to raw milk. The live enzymes in raw milk that you kill by pasteurizing are what makes this possible. Please allow us to purchase locally.

I grew up on a farm in N.J. and consumed raw milk products my entire childhood, I'm able to continue as an adult because I am buying from a farm in PA. I would like raw milk products to be available from N.J. farmers. I am 71 yrs. old and am in excellent health, much of which I attribute to eating products in their more natural state. I think like minded people have the right to obtain products we prefer in our own state.

I have now had a raw milk dairy farm for ten years and have over 35 families I provide raw milk for. This is a wonderful way to have a small business and its been very successful. I employ 2 full time people and give lots of internships to local students. Its too bad I must travel to Vermont each week to work. Leigh M.Haworth, NJ

I should be able to buy raw milk from the dairy farm across the street from me. They run a very clean operation. They are struggling economically. An added income stream would help a lot.

It"s our right to choose what we eat and drink for our health and the health of our family.

Help the small farmers to make a decent living. Let the public have choices and decide whether raw milk is for them.
VOTE yes on A696

I live in New Jersey, but currently purchase raw dairy products from Pennsylvania. I urge you to vote yes on A696 so that New Jersey family farms can be given the economic opportunity to sell raw dairy. Consumers should have the right to choose the foods they consume. Thank you.

It's about time that NJ consumers have the right to purchase and consume raw milk from reputable producers if they choose! Research for decades done by the Weston Price Foundation conclusively proves raw milk's health superiority over pasteurized, homogenized milk, which no longer has any of the diverse enzymes and living organizms to reinforce a healthy immune system--a reason why many people have lost the ability to even digest milk these days! Give us a choice and give our conscientious dairy farmers the ability to offer a better product that increases everyone's life and livelihood!

Please vote "YES" on Bill A696. I spend so much time and money driving to other states to enjoy raw milk, I am ecstatic to think that I might be able to purchase some in my home state. Thank you for your consideration! Keep the money in NJ and keep the dairy farmers open and working, Please!

Please pass A696 to allow raw milk sales in NJ. For some reason pasturized milk is difficult for me to digest whereas raw milk poses no problem and I love dairy. Until job responsibilities interfered I used to drive 50 minutes one way to a dairy farm in PA to buy raw dairy products( usually yogurt as they were always sold out of milk)-in fact they had a waiting list for their milk production!. I think you should keep all those dollars in NJ and allow sales of raw milk.
