My guy can sell the eggs without a problem at the Farmers Market, but not the raw milk. It is illegal (somehow) here in Mass. to sell that to people directly. So that’s why he started this club.

I don’t exactly know how it works – will ask him next Wednesday, but it seems to be a middleman thing. Here’s a part of an article from Salon which I think is how it works:

“While such clubs may be reminiscent of Prohibition-era speakeasies, what their patrons are doing is not technically illegal. Each state has the right to regulate its own raw milk — though the FDA banned the sale of raw milk across state lines in 1987 — and in New York state, on-farm purchases of raw milk are legal. The difference is that, rather than commute to the country fields for their weekly fix, milk club members place their orders over the phone with the dairy and mail their checks. The club then hires a middleman to deliver the prepaid orders to the city.”

So he is merely a “delivery man”…?

I’ll ask him and let you know. In the meantime you should check your state’s laws.

Happy milking!
