Our passion for camel milk began in Saudi Arabia, where our founder, Walid, was visiting his family in his hometown of Jeddah. He was approached by a friend with a plastic bag of camel milk that looked “really fresh—and tasted soo good,” Walid recalls. But then he couldn’t find it anywhere in stores—only the Bedouins sold it. Since you can stop a camel herder by the road in Jeddah, it was no big deal to the locals, right? But he fell in love with it and he knew other people would, too. He quickly realized that great-tasting camel milk naturally provided the strength he needed during CrossFit. He found himself craving the good feeling he got from camel milk. So when Walid moved to California, he appreciated how people valued a healthy lifestyle. He realized this was the perfect place to start a camel milk company. After selling camel milk at mosques and ethnic food festivals, Walid’s business plan won the Marcia Israel Award from USC, so he decided to leave his corporate real estate position and began his camel adventure. Having made the big commitment, he went courting the world, trying to spark a Camel Milk Revolution, and found the greatest and most friendly people. While looking for US camel herders, in the Midwest he came across a group known for being polite and down-to-earth, a group who didn’t exist in the Middle East: the wonderful Amish community, who exemplify hard work and cooperation. Watching them work together was and remains awesome to Walid. “Networking through social media just isn’t the same as teaming up with neighbors to build a barn,” he says. “If you ask an Amish farmer why they're successful, don't expect a lot of soul-searching or reflection on what they do right—the Amish will likely pin the praise on anyone else but themselves.” Walid felt that they deserved an easier way to bring their products to market, and he loves the quality of their camel milk! Desert Farms® is now bringing these rural farm families’ products to eager consumers in California and other states. “It’s exciting to bridge gaps between communities that are far apart,” he says. Small start-up companies like Desert Farms can offer real value to customers who care about what’s in and behind their products. So join us in the Camel Milk Revolution—and thanks to everyone who makes Desert Farms a success! For nomads, camels are more than livestock. They’re a physical and spiritual link to nature. Plus, it’s their primary source of income, food and transportation---just like if you bundled your car, house and job on top of a camel and hit the road. Camels are life to nomads, and although their way of life is being threatened due to city growth and loss of roaming land, new interest in camel milk can help them keep going. Nomad and his camel Herders have long said they survive solely on camel milk when taking the camels long distances to graze in desert and arid mountain environments. These strong people certainly throw a few dates down their throats too when they get the chance. And the camels? Well, they only need some yummy thorns, bushes, a few scant grasses and an occasional bucket of water to make a desert trip. Camel farming traditionally takes place in desert or mountain conditions, although it has recently flourished in Germany and The Netherlands. Camel milk is now in supermarkets in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kenya and Mauritania, plus there’s a new chain of camel milk cafes in Dubai! What about the U.S? Early US demand for camel milk came from mothers of children with autism. The first documented person to import camel milk for autism was author Christina Adams. Other people began using camel milk for autism and additional health purposes. Cultures who appreciate camels, like ethnic communities also know about the milk. Now that US camels are producing camel milk milk for sale, “early adopters” of healthy foods are into it too. ...read more
