A piano student of mine's family owns a dairy farm. Recently, they have decided to start selling their milk. Selling "raw milk" is kind of tricky business, as you can't officially "sell" it, but you can allow people to buy "shares" into your cows, and "buy" it that way. After much talk, Mike and I decided to go ahead with it. Today our first gallon o' milk came.
It has such great nutritional value, not to mention be able to have cream for whipping cream, I'm even toying with maybe making cheese? Liz Kamper, can you give me tips on this?
I'm excited about the possibilities of it, and we love love love that we can buy locally, and support our local dairy farms.
On a separate note, I took this pic at the lake the other day,
and I just really liked how it turned out.

I'm curious how it tastes? Do you give it to Levi? I dont know much about raw milk... Great you can support Local business. I love doing that - it's so important!
it tastes pretty good, sonya. i wasn't sure at first, obviously it's thicker than skim milk, but good. we are slowly introducing it to levi. there is lots of controversial stuff out there about "raw" milk, mostly dealing with pasteurization and the bacteria that can be present. several sites said to eat lots of yogurt when you first start drinking to help with that, so we're doing that, and just putting in 3\4 normal milk 1\4 raw and moving it slowly from there...
