When we were in Spokane, we got our milk from Spokane Family Farms - not organic, but vat-pasteurized and non-homogenized. Very good stuff, and pretty reasonably priced for what you get ($3.33 a gallon direct from the farm when bought in threes, or $5 a gallon from Rosauers, Yokes, or Huckleberries). So far, we haven't found anything like it over here - at least, not for the same price. The closest they get for the same thing here works out to about $8 a gallon, which puts it outside the range. Sure, it comes in glass bottles, like milk used to, but that's too much.
The search continues... In a place this big, there has to be something...
Maybe try goat's milk? (I think it's delicious and it's naturally homogenized). Anyway, in Montana and Idaho, a lot of farms sell goats milk as "pet food" (for legal reasons). But we use to get amazing, fresh, milk for around $3.00 a gallon that way.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're blogging! Tiff and I get on tangents on the phone, so this is a nice way to keep up with the minutia that I otherwise would miss :)
I think goat's milk is actually more around here - they have quite a racket going. If only we could get delivery from Spokane Family Farm. ;)
