The store and processing plant are on the premises. The flow of milk for me is: Cow -> Processing -> Store -> Me Note that the processing and the store components are the only "middle-men", which in this case, is the same *family* farmer. My milk costs, on average, $2/gallon *less* than the USDA Certified Organic crap at and pollutes the earth a whole lot. Have you met the cow from which your milk came? I have, she's happy, healthy, and grass-fed. As opposed to the "certified organic" cows which are usually fed corn, a food cows are not naturally able to easily digest. The cows my milk come from are able to roam around in the pastures as they please, as opposed to "organic" cows, which are raised in rather cruel conditions, aren't allowed to go outside for fear of catching something for which they can't be treated... Hmm, yeah, "organic" may (or may not) be better for you, but it certainly isn't any picnic for the cow! I buy my milk from a local dairy farmer. The store and processing

Have you met the cow from which your milk came? I have, she’s happy,
healthy, and grass-fed. As opposed to the “certified organic” cows
which are usually fed corn, a food cows are not naturally able to
easily digest. The cows my milk come from are able to roam around in
the pastures as they please, as opposed to “organic” cows, which are
raised in rather cruel conditions, aren’t allowed to go outside for
fear of catching something for which they can’t be treated…

Hmm, yeah, “organic” may (or may not) be better for you, but it
certainly isn’t any picnic for the cow!
