BPP on Location: Win Rosenfeld Out of His Element

You can take the boy out of the city...

Win Rosenfeld and I are working on a video story about raw milk. Yesterday we went up to Freedom Hill Farm in Otisville, N.Y., one place where raw (unpasteurized) milk is legally available.

Check out some more production stills after the jump...

Dairy farmer Rick Vreeland explains the process.

BEWARE: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reminding consumers of the dangers of drinking milk that has not been pasteurized, known as raw milk. Raw milk potentially contains a wide variety of harmful bacteria ??? including Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, Campylobacter and Brucella ??? that may cause illness and possibly death.

Consuming raw milk may be harmful to health. From 1998 to May 2005 CDC identified 45 outbreaks of foodborne illness that implicated unpasteurized milk, or cheese made from unpasteurized milk. These outbreaks accounted for 1,007 illnesses, 104 hospitalizations, and two deaths. This is based on information in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for the week of March 2, 2007. The actual number of illnesses was almost certainly higher because not all cases of illness are recognized and reported.
