I think everyone, especially Double Helix, has done a wonderful job addressing your questions.
Most people have greatest sucess adopting a raw lifestyle for life if they take time to transition, so I think drinking fresh from the farm milk is fine, as long as you're trying to find other solutions that hit the spot.
One thing I think a lot of people struggle with (besides detox) is hunger. Not just being hungry, but often not knowing what to eat that'll fill that nutritional need. That comes in time.
One of the things I found that helped me immensely (truth be told, no way I could have transitioned to raw without it) are superfoods. The key ones I needed to transition are Pure Synergy and Maca. They helped me fill micro- and macro- nutrient deficiencies which was part of what was keeping me so hungry all day long (the other part being figuring out how much I needed to eat of different veggies, the whole proper balance of carbs, protiens, and fats, getting that balance right).
The other superfoods I eat regularly are the raw cacao, goji berries, and hemp. I do a smoothie in the morning of all those superfoods, plus agave syrup, spinach (and kale too sometimes) and coconut butter.
I would suggest thinking about hemp powder in place of the milk, and if you're hungry all day long. David Wolfe suggested that to me, to eat 1 Tbsp every 2 hours or when I was hungry for protien or just plain crazy-hungry. After doing that a few days, a little more than a week, I found I could do it more as-needed, with some days not needing it at all.
I suggest this for you as one of the things I would turn to a lot is an ounce or two of cheese. I couldn't find anything else that quite worked, but when I started adding hemp to my diet, it sure did make a difference.
