In a column written by Michael Paul Williams, a brief walk through of WBCH's history from past to present gives the general concept and goal, while an interview with Mrs. Sheila Givens and a short announcement focuses on the 90th anniversary and Byrd House Bash.

News: Flawed Report on Raw Milk

Raw milk is an alternative to consuming pasteurized milk, and is believed to be healthier, more nutritious, and even better promotes environmental than regular manufactured milk. Last year a report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention claimed that raw milk and products made with raw milk increased the chances of illness. However, a follow up study by the Weston A. Price Foundation revealed this report to be, at best, inconclusive and, at worst, outright false. Please read more for details to both studies.
