Why raw kefir for cats & dogs?
We believe that your whole family should get the best quality, most nutrient-dense, safest foods available. That’s why our pet food is made in the same way that we would prepare food for ourselves - with the highest quality farming standards, a straightforward process, and extreme attention to detail.
What are your milk safety standards?
Milk safety is a top priority. Although it's not required for raw pet milk, Miller's Bio Farm is certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for raw milk production and bottling for humans in PA. We also go above and beyond what's "required" for that certification by testing every batch of milk on site for general bacteria counts.
What is kefir?
It’s a fermented milk drink. It’s tangy, similar to yogurt, but sourer.
Our kefir will almost always be more sour than sweet, and will likely be more sour than store bought.
The kefir is watery on top. What should I do?
Separation with kefir is perfectly normal. You simply need to shake to recombine.
How long is it fermented for?
This kefir is fermented overnight for about 12 hours.
Can I make my own kefir with it?
This is a contested issue. You might experience some kitchen magic and be able to make more kefir starting with our kefir at home. But, for the best possibility of success, you should start with real kefir grains. You won't find those in any of our products, since all grains are strained before bottling.
What breed are your goats?
Our milking goats are crosses between Alpine, Saanen, and Nubian goats.
What are the goats fed?
The goats have free access to pasture year round. However, in the hot summer, they usually choose to stay in the barn. When they're not eating forage at pasture, they are fed a GMO-free, corn-free, soy-free, and chemical-free feed from a farmer that raises and mixes the grains himself. Feed contains barley, oats, peas, alfalfa, and minerals.
Is your goat kefir A2/A2?
Yes! All goats naturally produce A2/A2 milk. This is because goats (and all mammals) did not undergo a genetic mutation like cows do.
