After researching the differences between raw and pasteurized milk, my husband and I decided it was time to stop drinking the "dead" milk that has had most of the enzymes "cooked" out of it, and find a local source for the enzyme-rich raw milk. We are so glad we found this dairy. The area where the milk is bottled is so clean! It's a family-owned business - and what a nice, hard-working family they are! Mike and his family are always so helpful. As busy as they are, they are always willing to spend time answering our questions. And I can't say enough about the milk. It is so creamy and absolutely delicious. It dresses up my coffee in the morning, and certainly perks up scrambled eggs! I brag about this place and their wonderful milk every chance I get. And they even give tours. We're looking forward to the time we can bring the out-or-state grandchildren down and show them what a real dairy...
Read moreSuch a wonderful place. We first found De Smet last year during 2020 (January) and the Raw Whole milk is so delicious and fresh and the only way to do milk honestly. The owner is a really nice guy and the first time he explained the whole process and how he started out the diary. Family oriented and excellent products the best I've been to and also very accommodating for request. I always stop by when I'm close. Love this place. This is the stop if you want fresh and delicious. This place isn't the same as any other diary they use a cold process for the milk as I understood the process. Number one! The cheese curds literally taste better then any cheese I've had, period! Don't miss out...
Read moreJust went there for first time. The coolers were stocked with fresh ice cold raw milk! We never tried raw milk before so was very excited to open one in my car... the milk was absolutely delicious! The difference (from store bought cooked milk) was creamier and buttery without any lingering aftertaste. It actually taste less milky than our typical cooked highly processed milk from the market. That makes total sense since this is live milk rather the market milk which sells dead processed milk. The two men I met were super friendly. FYI: They work on the honor system, so you just pay on your own and check out. We will be back for sure! I am also trying to find a raw goat milk...
