Testing negative for pathogens is not a new thing for our local dairy, but after suggestions of illness caused by their raw milk, it is definitely a relief. While they reported having no illnesses among family and staff, they didn't want to take any chances and voluntarily suspended raw milk sales. They contacted the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and worked in coordination with them on the issue.
No recall was mandated by the state and the sales suspension was voluntarily imposed by the company itself.
This afternoon, they received confirmation by QC Laboratories in Southampton PA that all 12 pathogen tests came back negative. The dairy, however, will not be lifting their suspension on raw milk sales just yet. They are scheduled to have a meeting with the PDH and PDA to further discuss the issue.
They have not closed their doors to all sales. You can find plenty of the farm's organic beef, pork, chicken and other items for sale at their on farm store. The store is located at 3854 Olde Scotland Rd, Chambersburg. They are open Monday-Saturday from 8:00am to 6:00pm. You can also visit them online at http://www.yourfamilycow.com.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has advised consumers who purchased raw milk from The Family Cow that there MAY be a connection between the milk and several recent illnesses. However, at this time, no milk tested from the local dairy has been contaminated with the Campylobacter bacteria. As a safeguard for the community, the dairy has voluntarily suspended sales of it raw milk.
None of the partner owners or their families or the staff, who all claim to drink the milk regularly, have become sick. Also, there have been reports from different parts of the US of similar illness outbreaks that have no connection to our local dairy or raw milk in general.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Campylobacter is a bacterial infection that affects the intestinal tract and can sometimes affect the bloodstream and other organs. It is one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis, which can include diarrhea and vomiting. Nearly 1,300 confirmed cases of Campylobacter are reported each year in Pennsylvania. Onset of illness usually occurs in two to five days after ingesting the bacteria. Patients often do not require specific medical treatment unless they become severely dehydrated or the infection spreads from the intestines.
As of January 27th, the department confirmed three cases of Campylobacter infection in persons in Pennsylvania and three confirmed cases in Maryland. A commonality between these cases is the consumption of raw milk from this farm. A formal recall has not yet been announced, probably because there has been no positive contamination found in the dairy's milk samples.
On January 27, The Family Cow sent out an e-mail to all of it's customers stating they had received several calls from customer/families reporting that they had been experiencing acute diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In response to this news, they were suspending milk sales and had sent samples to the Pennsylvania Department of Health for testing. As of that date, the first preliminary test was negative for the contaminant.
On January 30, they again sent out an e-mail with the updated information that the last test results were not back yet but that sales would continue to be suspended. They also report to have received hundreds of encouraging e-mails from their customers in response to the January 27th e-mail notice.
We will be keeping an eye on this situation and keep you up to date on the confirmed facts as they are released by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and The Family Cow.

Totem Pole Playhouse has announced that Travels With My Aunt will replace The 39 Steps as the theater's second show for the 2012 season. Travels, a globe trotting adventure based on a Graham Greene novel, will replace the Hitchcock spoof for reasons of "regional saturation," said Artistic Director Ray Ficca.
"A simple Google search I did in November revealed that a bunch of theaters in the four state area have rushed to get 39 Steps into the 2012 season. I wanted to give our audience something that they couldn't get anywhere else," said Ficca. "I want to give them something special."
To that end, Totem Pole will stage the highly theatrical globe-spanning adventure and has already moved to put the pieces into place for a memorable evening of theater. Ficca has tapped Playhouse veterans Sean Fri (Honus and Me), Bradley Wayne Smith (Southern Crossroads), and JJ Kaczynski (The Complete History of America (abridged)) to star in the fast paced tale of a retired bank manager, his eccentric aunt, and their voyage from Paris to Istanbul on the Orient Express. At the helm for the project will be long time Playhouse director David Hemsley Caldwell (Hank Williams: Lost Highway).
On the technical side of things, the tricky changes in locale will be handled by long time resident scenic designer Jim Fouchard. "Our programming the last three years has been so challenging, fun and exciting," said Fouchard. "I can't wait to keep that going with the extremely clever Travels With My Aunt. I think it's the perfect fit for our stage."
The fast paced comedy was adapted from Greene's novel by Scottish dramatist Giles Havergal and was first staged at Glasgow's Citizens Theatre in 1989. It has since had successful productions in London, San Francisco, and off-Broadway in New York. This will be Totem Pole's first production of the play, which will run from June 19 to July 1st, 2012. Essis & Sons Carpet One and Rotz & Stonesifer, CPA are sponsors of this show.
Totem Pole Playhouse is located in Caledonia State Park, 9555 Golf Course Road, Fayetteville, PA 17222.
