This "small farmer" is courting disaster in this sentence:

"When Heather Retberg started selling raw milk"

"Raw milk" is a fiction, sold supposedly to be "more nutritious" and in a few cases, is sold as a cure-all.

But it's a disaster in the making, unpasteurized milk causes dozens of cases of disease every year. Including e. coli and listeria.
