German term or phrase: Heumilch
So kann man sich unter anderem an der Bar mit einem Heumilchdrink stärken.

This is a product that is used in cheese production and can apparently be drunk as well, but the English name isn't "hay milk" as far as I can tell. Can anyone help?

pasture milk/milk from non-silage fed cows
Explanation:
Heumilch: die Kühe werden mit silofreiem Futter gefüttert
http://www.gut-kerschlach.de/kennen/kaeserei.php

Silofutter = silage

Silofrei - Heumilch - Bauern
"wer gesunde Lebensmittel-Milch und Käse wünscht, die frei von Konservierungsstoffen und frei von Antibiotika ist, sollte silofreie Milch probieren und vergleichen mit Silagemilch. Der Unterschied liegt im Geschmack, in der Bekömmlichkeit und im höheren Qualitätsrang."
http://www.thermo-dm.si/de/silofrei.php

In Austria where they produce excellent cheeses which we can buy here, cheese manufacturers prefer pasture milk. Milk from silage fed cows doesn't make as good a cheese as from pasture and hay fed cows, so a premium is paid for non-silage fed milk.

Payments for Non-Silage Feeding of Cows (indemnité de non-ensilage): payment per tonne of milk to producers whose milk is produced (within the production quota) without silage fodder and used to produce some types of cheese (Emmental, Gruyère, Sbrinz, Appenzel and Tilsit). Calculated on a fiscal year basis and allocated to milk.

organic milk


Explanation:
I believe this simply means the milk from cows that feed free-range, not from troughs or silo feed (these are the words of a city kid, bear in mind!) and not on animal products. This is what is typically called "organic milk" here.

The #1 Google hit (link below) provides a bit of explanation. Many of the other Google hits are Austrian, so I suspect that this is a term used more frequently there.

milk from cattle fed on hay


Explanation:
This does just seem to be mil from cattle fed in winter on hay rather than silage.

Der Hauptvorteil der Heumilch ist der sehr niedrige Gehalt an Clostridien, auch Buttersäurebazillen genannt. Während in Heumilch unter 200 Sporen pro Liter vorkommen, findet man bei Verfütterung von Silage mit Buttersäuregärung bis zu 10.000 Sporen pro Liter Milch. In Grassilagen mit Buttersäuregärung können bis zu 1 Million Clostridien-Sporen pro Gramm vorkommen. Diese Sporen der Clostridien (Buttersäurebazillen) überstehen die Pasteurisierung der Milch und sind gefürchtete Schadkeime bei Schnitt- und Hartkäse, da sie Blähungen im Käse verursachen.

Bei der Herstellung von Hart- und Schnittkäse aus Heumilch kann daher auf eine Zentrifugalentkeimung und Konservierungsmittel verzichtet werden. Außerdem ist bei Heumilch nur sehr selten ein Futtergeschmack festzustellen. Heumilch ist das Original der Milch, wie sie seit Jahrtausenden hergestellt worden ist
