Dedicated to uphold the right of consumers to obtain raw milk and raw milk products, the Wisconsin Raw Milk Association (WRMA) has been formed.  

WRMA is made of Consumers, Dairy Producers and Farmers committed to changing the raw milk laws in Wisconsin.  

WRMA is presently working to pass a law legalizing the sale of raw milk and raw milk products.  Current law only allows the on-farm sale of raw milk on an incidental basis. Wisconsin state regulation defines "incidental" as not being in the "regular course of business."  

The proposed legislation WRMA supports would legalize the on-farm sale of raw milk and raw milk products by those holding a Grade A permit and by those unlicensed dairy farms that milk fewer than twenty cows.

A Recent History 
Raw Milk Battle in Wisconsin

When this group began in 2009/2010, we didn't have an official name; just an online chat group to help busy producers come together and support one another. Shortly thereafter, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection [DATCP] began a calculated and strategic shutdown of dairy farmers across the state.  

Their offense? Working within the present law system to legally sell fresh, unprocessed milk to the consumers who were asking for it.

This group of concerned dairymen and women and consumers alike banded together and hired a lobbyist to help them draft a bill for the waning legislative session of 2010.
