The Magic Milk story began in 2018, when I bought the first 9 donkeys, but the road to here was not easy. I returned home in the fall of 2017 from cruise ships, after 5 years of traveling the world, with "American" food, two consecutive winters spent in the Caribbean, at 40 degrees Celsius. All of this made my immunity "below sea level" and I gained 20 kg. And, the inevitable happened, I had a cold, sick every 2 weeks, just like children in the first year of community. The solution I received, a handful of pills, did not please me at all. So, I looked for alternative solutions. I remembered that I had a client on the ship, from Oklahoma, who had a donkey farm, because her 3-year-old daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and the conventional solution she received was: 8 years of antibiotics, every day. I ordered the donkey milk, did the treatment and I had no more problems. I had grown up in a family that always had many animals: cows, goats, sheep, birds, pigs, but never donkeys. I knew how to raise and care for an animal, we had land for grazing and producing food for the winter, I needed a trustworthy person to start this journey with, and my brother was, obviously, the best option. It's just that he was very hard to convince, for 6 months I was the "Chinese drop" who called him every day to explain to him how much good we could do with this magical milk.
