Don't know your exact location, but down here, almost any farmer will sell
you fresh, unpasturized, unhomogenized milk, if they like you, and if you
promise not to mention where it came from. The reason many won't is because
they have a legal contract with their buyer to sell their product to them
exclusively. My suggestion to you would be to make FRIENDS with them before
you ask them to risk their contract.
