Hmmm....
My mom was raised on a Dairy farm in CT, and went to a lot of trouble to find raw milk for us as kids in the Suburbs (She found a small family farm that would sell her the milk.) And no, you don't need to shake the milk (sheesh- city folk). You separate off the cream and keep it for .. ice cream ! Butter ! Coffee !
Unfortunately if you're that insistent about avoiding homogenization and pasteruization, you're going to have to get your own cow or join in a 'milk cooperative'. Unfortunately such cooperatives are always under attack from the local laws which are 'in place to protect you'.
That said, I will point out what should be obvious to all of us:
(ahem)
