RE: Re: which milk/cream would you choose - help!

[Guest guest]

>>>>For some reason the taste of the milk from Jersey tastes

better at least for me. I think also the Jersey milk has

higher butterfat? Why not have your coop order both?

---->vee, it's not a big enough coop to be able to order from two suppliers.

the one farm has a $150 minimum order and i hope we'll be able to meet that!

however, the jersey milk is already available in a local store, so if we got

the holstein milk for the co-op then we'd have access to both.

i talked to one of the farmers in our local chapter, and as a result of that

conversation i'm going to ask a local HFS if they'd carry the holstein

milk/cream as that would be so much easier than setting up and running a

co-op. then we'd still have both sources available and could pick and choose

which we prefer. we do have a few other sources here too, but not for

ogranic, pasture-fed cream. our group is mostly into *cream*. LOL

>>p.s. Care to share where you are located and the names of the dairies.

---->sure, i'm in midcoast maine - basically the south coastal area. the two

dairies i mentioned are a north and inland of here and they are white

orchard farm (jersey milk) and the post family farm (holstein milk and goat

milk). we also have another farm here locally that produces raw organic

jersey milk (no more than 9 lbs/grain per day) but they are a non-profit

educational farm with only 3 cows. that translates to " no cream " . LOL

they're the morris farm foundation.
