It is illegal to sell it . Anywhere in Canada and In the states. The farmer would lose his License to Farm. Even if Its at a farmers market. And the last article the study was done by Veterinarns. The study was done on piglets at a Veterinarian School. Last time I checked we were talking about humans.
From the Amish article

The articles are mostly written by doctors actually, not journalists.
Article one: Dr. Peter Neiman
Article two: Nipunie Rajapakse - MD, and Devika Dixit - MD, citing information from Dr. Martin Blasser of NYUSM and the US Center for Disease Control, the AAP, and CDC
Article three: Susan James (the only one who isn't a doctor), citing a study by Dr. Mark Holbreich regarding the "farm effect")
Article four: Researchers from University of Bristol, citing their own study regarding the "farm effect" (as you mentioned the study was done on pigs, mammals, as they give a very similar reading to that of a human without endangering any human beings)
You should look at the credits before you brush them off as journalists. Furthermore, studies and credentials are cited, and you are welcome to investigate the original documents yourself.
How that isn't clear science is a little beyond me, but as I said, you're allowed to believe whatever you want to believe regardless of the science.
Despite your assertions, raw milk is far more dangerous than it is beneficial and it's benefits have never been proven (and generally dismissed as "part" of growing up on a farm, and the benefits that has, but not the sole enabler of those benefits). Most of the studies and article also seemed to assert that any "farm effect" was only valid in the early stages of development. So raw milk when consumed in adulthood, even IF beneficial in helping allergies or your immune system, would have little to no effect unless consumed as a toddler.
Raw milk does nothing for an adult that regular milk doesn't do.
