Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Just so you know.

You can find them on FB.

Local Cambodian produced milk costs more than imported milk and the milk isn't pasteurized and goes wrong before the best by date.

It doesn't make me want to buy their products.

it is pasteurized now. they started it out as raw only. I actually prefer it raw as i kept jerseys and guernseys several times in my life= but of course it is a huge barrier to sales. Their cattle are tested for brucellosis and tb regularly and the milk itself is tested weekly at Institute Pasteur.

i met them several times due to my interest in small ag for poverty alleviation.
they grow forage and vacuum pack silage to store in cool rooms to address the hungry gap in the dry season.
dairy, honey and eggs are 3 very high yield areas for small farms- all are in demand and amenable to import replacement.
before Angkar Cambodia exported milk to TH and VN. The elderly farm manager of Nestle' from that time collaborated with MMM on their venture.

if it is going off now it is probably a failure in cold chain.

It can be anything. Supermarket turns off the fridge to save power. Ice melts on the long journey from Kampongistan to Lucky Marketville.

I remember when they launched their only product, the raw milk, and on their website they said you had to sign a waiver to drink it. I'm sure the professional Mormon cow expert did everything right but Cambodia will be Cambodia.

it was ill advised to sell raw milk from a marketing standpoint which they quickly realised.

highly professional operation.

the price should go down
perhaps the same argument could be made for your pies.
artisanal foods are quite expensive to produce.
again i would encourage you to report your disappointment to the producer and let us know the result.
i am highly impressed with their operation.

i am not a mormon but like to give the elders beer and weed which they often accept if no chance of getting caught, though not MMM staff.
