She is not sure if you are a milk nazi! Give her time and develop the relationship. I won't sell milk to anyone who is not a close friend.

That is what I thought.

What has this world come to? When I was a child in a small town TX (it was 30 years behind the rest of civilization!!) the dairy farmer still brought milk in glass bottles to your door step. It still had CREAM on the top!! That was in the 70's...in the 80's he was gone, out of business. It is just so sad.

My book came. Going to skim it tonight. Research excites me, I'm such a nerd

I'm with you Java!
Just got back with my raw cow's milk, in a glass bottle, with cream on the top. I SO hope you guys can find some where you are!

I so want to make the fermented carrots and ginger. But first I have to make the yogurt, so I can get the whey
I hurried up this morning and ate the last of the yogurt I had with some leftover peach sauce from yesterday. I almost used up all the milk, left barely enough for SO's coffee.
Got the new batch in the yogurt maker.

I absolutely love this book. WZ, I may be on your list cause I got mine through inter-library loan and I've rechecked it 3 times

According to the links previously posted, I should be within an hour drive of raw milk Looks like I'll be headed back home through Yazoo city when I (FINALLY/EVER) get to Jackson . Nope, still haven't forgotten you 2Dream

FD, the recipe in NT for ginger carrots calls for far too much salt. Use fresh whey and cut back on the salt. It was my first ferment, and it was choking, and I didn't try any other recipes for a LOOONG time, unfortunately!

Hey girls, I am making the carrots this week too! I am hoping to get my girls to eat some...DS won't eat anything new, especially if is is in the fruit, veggie or meat category (or dairy, or grains or......)


Anywho, thanks for the tip on the salt. I can't wait to make it...but today is little missy's bday and I am busy doing her bidding for the day no time for silly carrots.

The dairy nearby does sell fresh, raw milk Now I just have to scramble around to come up with some extra money - I'm working just a bit but not enough to have anything extra just yet. Those girls aren't paying the rent out there, either, or I'd have more egg money!

Thanx for the tip on the carrots, as I said, that was going to be my first ferment, too. Can I do that in the small bail-style canning jars I have here? Once they're finished and you put them into cold storage, you don't preserve them in any other way, as in traditional canning?

I just read the description of how margarine is made to my DH. Now, we've been eating real butter for a number of years now. He generally has a strong stomach. He still turned an odd shade of green. He wants to commit it to memory so the next time his mother starts going on and on about how healthy her Brummel and Brown yogurt margarine is, he can tell her how it really is.

Thanks for the warning about those carrots, Free.
