Re: Organic valley, etc.

July 24, 2010

Thank you Carol. As a newbie to the traditional foods I too am looking for

those sources. I found this group just a few days before all the garbage

started. I didn't even know there was a warehouse. I'm so sorry I missed out.

I'm still only finding a low pastureized (sp?) non-homogenized source of milk

and I guess that's better than nothing. I can totally understand everyone's

position regarding posting information about these sources. But I'd love to

find cream cheese, etc. as well.

I haven't really ever trusted the WF, Fresh and Natural stores and the like. I

mean they can pull a wool over our eyes as well. I don't want to pay a boatload

for something that the same as the grocery store. On the other hand, if I know

it's truly organic (even if not by USDA standards) I will pay the extra for it.

Did that make sense?

I'm hearing about different meetings/gatherings and I'm hoping to get to one

soon.

Sincerely,

Lyn

Organic valley

I do not want to patronize Organic Valley because of what they are doing to

small farmers, and how they are participating in the FDAs 2010 goals to make

raw milk inaccessible to us. However, I am feeling very frustrated with

certain products. I can not find a non conventional source of cream cheese,

and many cheeses. Have any of you found alternative sources?

I have discovered a delicious raw cheddar cheese from Next Generation that

is wonderful. And while we do not have access to our raw butter,

Pastureland tastes pretty good, although of course it is pasteurized. I

know whole foods has their own line, but I have no idea how good it is, and

frankly, I am almost as disgusted with whole foods as organic valley because

of how they have pulled all raw dairy from their store, as well as the

kombucha fiasco they seem to have fabricated.

Thanks,

Carol
