Mark McAfee’s farm outside Fresno has been producing 80,000 gallons of unpasteurized milk weekly, more than any other dairy in the world. However, a recent recall due to bird-flu virus contamination has left him with a silver lining. Demand for raw milk has surged by 2% per week this year as consumers increasingly seek alternative options.
McAfee’s farm has been supplying major retailers such as Sprouts Farmers Market and Erewhon, which cater to high-end clients including celebrities like Danica Patrick, Sylvester Stallone, and Patrick Dempsey. The farmer sees the recall as an opportunity to share his knowledge about raw milk and its benefits with others, citing his company’s educational aspect.
