The owner of California dairy farm Raw Farm said he's cooperating with the state since it suspended its raw milk operations.The California Department of Food and Agriculture put Raw Farm of Fresno under quarantine from herds to bottled product due to raw milk testing positive for the bird flu virus.Raw Farm products are still on the shelves at some stores as of Tuesday afternoon, including the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-Op grocery store in midtown.The store pulled two batches of raw milk last week, which was voluntarily recalled after the California Department of Public Health found the bird flu virus in the milk at retail stores. On Tuesday, the state also said it secured a broad, voluntary recall of all raw milk and cream products from Raw Farm due to possible bird flu contamination.Raw Farm owner Mark McAfee said he drinks raw milk every day and is working with the state."This is a natural process. It's not something that's extraordinary, something I didn't do wrong or right. It's Mother Nature and what she's doing with viruses, which is a natural process that happens every year," he said.McAfee said his dairy farms with 1,700 cows are suspending distribution while under state quarantine."There's literally nothing a farmer can do to avoid a sweep or a wave of avian flu in cows. You're going to get it. You got to live through it, and then your cows are going to be immune," McAfee said. McAfee said they're sending some of their milk to be pasteurized and working with an outside dairy farm to bring raw milk back to the stores. "We are being extremely adaptive and resilient, and we're trying to find another dairy someplace else that we can convert to ramp up production for the next couple of months until our dairy has full herd immunity," he said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 29 cases of bird flu in California this year, 28 of those cases had direct contact with infected cows. In the other case, a child did not. None has been linked to drinking raw milk.But health officials have warned drinking raw milk can pose health risks due to the possibility of the milk carrying potentially dangerous bacteria, like E. coli, salmonella and listeria. The raw milk doesn't go through the pasteurization process, which heats the milk at high temperatures to kill the germs.McAfee said in his 25 years as a dairy farmer, he's seen viruses come and go. "They were here at the beginning, and they're going to be here when we're dead. Viruses are a constant and all they do is change, so our big thing is to make sure that humans that drink raw milk can change as well and be adaptive," McAfee said.McAfee also said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been tapped to run the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under President-elect Donald Trump, asked him to apply to be an adviser on raw milk policy and standards development. He said raw milk has not received the study and care it deserves and wants to help educate the public and other dairy farmers.The California Department of Food and Agriculture said Raw Farm will have to meet certain requirements to be released from quarantine: Sixty days after diagnosis and when clinical signs are gone, CDFA will begin testing infected dairies through creamery samples.An infected dairy will need three negative creamery samples with seven days between tests. Infected dairies will be notified of positive results. Negative results will not be reported but will be tracked for quarantine release. Once the dairy has three negative test results, the CDFA response team will contact the dairy to complete a quarantine release form.See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter
