OPDC was notified on Thursday afternoon March 25, 2010 that Whole Foods Corporate has decided permanently to discontinue raw dairy products from all stores nationally, as a matter of corporate policy.

Mark McAfee's announcement here

We are very disappointed in this decision and believe that it is a move away from “whole food” being sold at Whole Foods. We all know that raw milk is a whole food, whereas pasteurized and ultra pasteurized milk are partial foods. These sterile foods cannot be consumed by many people because a killing heat has compromised their integrity, causing enzyme, digestion and other serious histamine and immune disturbance issues. Delicious living, probiotic raw milk does not create these problems. Sterile foods are not organic foods and never have been. Organic food is whole, bio-diverse, nutrient dense, enzyme and mineral rich by definition.

OPDC would like to warmly thank Walter Robb and Whole Foods for ten great years of market support and the instrumental roll that Whole Foods played in establishing the thriving California Raw Milk Market.

Please welcome our new retail partners as they join OPDC in providing delicious raw dairy products to you. The addition of these fine organic and natural food stores has created new market excitement. Many of these stores are using a lower price point which makes OPDC products more affordable for everyone. Please welcome our new accounts, and thank the dairy case mangers with a big raw milk hug!

All the best in health,

Mark McAfee Founder OPDC
