influencer Hannah Neeleman and the husband Daniel NeelemanBallerina Farm has reportedly stopped selling raw milk amid health concerns.
A report published by the Utah Local Network KPCW On Thursday, January 29, it said health inspectors found two violations following a routine milk test conducted in late May and early June 2025.
KPCW cited records from the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF), which reportedly indicated that screening showed elevated levels of coliforms in bottled raw milk. (Coliforms are the family of bacteria that includes E. coli.)
The director of the state’s dairy program told the outlet that Ballerina Farm made the decision to stop raw milk sales. A spokesperson for Ballerina Farm shared that raw milk was only sold at the company’s Kamas farm stand and that the brand only sells pasteurized milk at the moment.
“Raw milk production requires careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint,” a spokesperson for Ballerina Farm said in a statement to KPCW. “Unfortunately, we learned that after the fact.”
The outlet reported that Ballerina Farm noted that its current dairy is better suited to pasteurized products and has plans to create a second dairy in the future for raw milk products.
An information page on the UDAG website notes that ingesting unpasteurized dairy products can pose “serious health risks.” E. coli, Salmonella and Listeria can be found in raw milk.
Hannah, who has it more than 10.4 million followers on Instagram, she’s been candid about consuming raw milk while monetizing her lifestyle with the Ballerina Farm brand. (The company also sells sourdough starters, salt, protein power and more.)

In October 2024, the influencer shared with people that drinking the product helped her beauty and wellness routine.
“(My mom) said, ‘When you started drinking raw milk, your skin got so much better,'” Hannah shared. “And I think there’s something to that.”
The mother of eight shot to online fame when the ‘traditional wife’ phenomenon took over social media. Hannah, however, shared it in July 2025 she doesn’t “necessarily identify” with the label (The idea centers on women who have rejected modern gender roles and returned to an ancient definition of femininity.)
“Because we’re traditional in the sense that it’s a man and a woman, we have children, but I feel like we’re breaking a lot of ground that hasn’t been paved before,” he told The Sunday Times in an interview at the time.
While Hannah is a stay-at-home mom, the former Julliard dancer noted that she has a well-paying job as a contributor to her family’s 328-acre farm in Utah.
“For me to be labeled as a traditional woman,” she continued. “I’m kind of, like, I don’t know if I identify with that.”
When Daniel was asked if he identified himself as the head of his household, he replied, “No. We’re co-CEOs.” Hannah agreed with his sentiment, adding, “Yes, we are.”
