If you got sick after drinking raw milk from Paradise Grove, Lolita Farms, or Evans Farmstead, our lawyers can review whether you may have a claim.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) named those three operations in its July 10, 2026 update. It says all three are cooperating with the investigation, but hasn’t published a separate illness count for each farm.
Which Farms and Illnesses Are Being Investigated?
IDHW identifies Paradise Grove in Jefferson County, Lolita Farms in Kootenai County, and Evans Farmstead in Twin Falls County. Its initial June 3 notice described two outbreaks associated with raw milk. The July update named three operations, rather than attributing every illness to one farm.
The June notice reported nearly 60 people ill after drinking raw milk since May 19, with at least 45 positive Campylobacter tests. Not everyone who became ill was tested. Later news reports put the count higher, but IDHW hasn’t posted a replacement count on its website. Its July update described an ongoing investigation.
What Could a Raw Milk Claim Cover?
A claim may seek compensation for medical care, lost income, and the effects of the illness. Raw milk being legal to sell in Idaho doesn’t by itself decide whether a contaminated-food claim is possible.
Tell us where you obtained the milk, when you drank it, and when symptoms began. Available medical records, receipts, or existing bottle photos can help. Our Campylobacter lawyers can assess the connection and explain what additional information may matter.
What If the Effects Have Lasted?
IDHW says some people develop longer-term problems, including reactive arthritis, bowel problems, or Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Ongoing care and missed work may matter to a claim even after the initial stomach illness improves.
If you’ve been diagnosed with GBS, our Guillain-Barré syndrome lawyer page explains claims involving nerve damage. Our Idaho food poisoning page covers help for people in the state.
