If you’re a person who suffers from dairy allergies – this may be something you need to read: For dairy-allergy alternatives in Northern Kentucky, there is a solution for your dietary needs! As many people are experiencing – you too may be sifting through many different types of milk alternatives struggling to find the one or ones that you like and that are also good for you.
Discouraged but not defeated: Did you know that while coconut milk, cashew and almond milks as well as other nut milks – may be
free of certain cattle allergens caused by A-1 protein, all of these grocery alternatives usually contain other harmful ingredients, and/or preservatives such as fillers like gums (guar gums, xantham gums) as well as sunflower oils and other seed-based oils, etc., that can be harmful to the gut?
With this in mind, are you aware that you could be harming your health in ways that have long-term effects but just in a different way than what typical cow’s milk causes? That is because with so many recent health studies done over the past ten years, new evidence strongly shows how these gums and preservatives can have long-term damaging effects to your gut’s immune system because of the way they stick to the gut’s lining which can cause other problems with the stomach, where over 80% of our immune system is housed.
So many people – especially now as we try to go forward in a post-covid world, try to search for even healthier foods – and yet still end up not fully satisfied with so much of what the mainstream grocery stores and even some health stores are offering.
One of those reasons is due to how a product’s shelf live is dependent on these stabilizers and preservatives, which can impede our metabolism or impair our immune system. There are many alternatives to cow’s milk – even A-2 cow’s milk which is where the protein has been removed – not the lactose as the culprit but the protein casein as the trigger pushing the allergy or intolerance button.
Yet, even with another cow’s milk such as the better A-2, or even a goat’s milk which also provides the A-2 protein to alleviate much of these milk allergens, there are still many others who react to the milk’s sugar – lactose or other fillers and stabilizers. And when that milk is homogenized, the heating process also acts as a destroyer of more of the nutrients of that milk.
However, with donkey’s milk, you don’t have to worry about the manufacturing process or the stabilizers, sugars or harsh proteins. Donkey’s milk is pure and made raw.
It tastes very naturally sweet. The proud family owners of ‘Sweet Donkey Milk of Kentucky’ can tell you, “our customers are the ones that are looking for a boost in their immune system, especially those going through chemo therapy, recovering from illnesses, for asthma, eczema, other skin conditions, supplementation for infants and others for the vitamins and minerals that are contained in it. This is why they choose our milk over cow’s milk.”
In the business for five years, the Brueggemann family, husband and wife team Nicholas and Natasa, alongside their brother Joachim say that, “Natasa’s cousin came to visit from Montenegro and we were just talking when he mentioned milking donkeys. We never heard there was such a thing but after staying up all night and doing research, we were sold. A close friend of my wife was also going through chemo which gave us a bigger incentive to get our first milking donkeys… We have not looked back since.”
Healthy never tasted so sweet!
Says Nicholas, “We were surprised by the amount people that are in need for the milk. We would like to never fail the people that come to us wanting this precious product. It has been a great delight for us to meet so many people across the country and be able to help them during their health trails in this way. We hope to have our herd grow with our clients to insure they stay satisfied. We want to use this platform to share this incredible product with more people across the country and make it available to them.”
This is pure, straight-up raw donkey milk – no fillers, no shelf stabilizers like they have on store shelves to prolong life of product just to turn a profit. This family business cares more about principles and people over profit alone.
Nicholas’s wife tells us that they have plans for growth, which include their plan to have donkey milk soap available as well! So customers be looking out for that in the near future! It will make your skin super soft and moisturized.

In the donkey business, they call the males jacks and the females jennys…. Says Nicholas, ”Everyday on the farm we start the day by separating the jenny from the foal around 3 am. It is necessary to separate them for a short period of time in order to get some milk. We milk later in the morning, and usually we get anywhere from 8-24 oz of milk, per donkey, per milking. We then put the foal back with the jenny for a few hours and then repeat the process again for the evening milking. Our herd has great pasture and high quality hay that we harvest from our families’ lands.”
They also use milking filters and strain the milk in eight oz sealable bottles and freeze them. Nicholas continues, “In the frozen state, the milk stays good for up to 12 months. Once thawed, it can last four days in the fridge.”
Donkey’s milk is loaded with health benefits such as vitamins B1,2, 6, and Vit A and C, D & E. Also, Omega 3’s, 6’s, fatty acids, ceramides, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc and phosphorous to name a few key ingredients – attribute to a healthier immune system so if you’re considering a change to your health routine or you wish to level up more in your health care regimen, you may want to contact this company in Verona, Kentucky for your new dairy batch of fresh, raw, sweet donkey milk!
