How to Get Raw Milk in Indiana: What’s Legal and Where to Find It

Short answer: Indiana does not allow retail sales of raw (unpasteurized) milk for human consumption. It can be sold for other purposes if it’s clearly labeled “Not for Human Consumption.” Many people still seek out raw dairy for freshness and nutrient density, so here’s how it works and how to get it locally and legally.

Is Raw Milk Legal in Indiana?

Indiana law prohibits the retail sale of raw milk for human consumption. However, raw milk may be sold for other uses—often labeled for “pet consumption”—as long as it is clearly marked “Not for Human Consumption.”

We follow that labeling requirement. What you choose to do with it after purchase is up to you.

Why People Choose Raw Dairy

• Freshness: often bottled the same day
• Unprocessed: nothing added, nothing removed
• Nutrient density: raw, grass-fed milk naturally contains omega‑3s, fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D, K2), bioavailable minerals, and native enzymes and bacteria that are destroyed during pasteurization

Note: Individual dairies vary widely in cleanliness, animal care, and handling practices. It’s important to know your dairy.
