Re: Price versus value of REAL MILK

[Guest guest]

You got me. Just for s--ts and giggles, try freezing about a quart of cream overnight, take it out and leave it on the counter till it is just about almost thawed and make butter out of it. Don't rinse it, don't add anything and press with a spoon to get out as much of the milk as possible. Then, put it in the fridge. When it's good and cold, drain off any milk in the bottom and please let me know how it works.

Re: Re: Price versus value of REAL MILK

I have kefir grains, but then I will be just making kefir, since it's the same milk I use in the kefir as in the jar full of nothing but milk that sits there for a week!!

I read the book called "keeping a family cow" and she says it could take up to two days as well. wonder why mine is not working! Hmmm, well thanks for the help! But is it ok do you think to use it after this long?

Since Bush has been in office they have cut almost all the grants for regular people. I've checked and there just isn't much that one can get. State money for grants comes from Federal funding. Some get some private grants, but those are far and few between. They even cut out the Farm Home offices which were attached to the Dept. of Ags throughout the country.

Have you checked with your state to see if there are any grant programs?http://www.planning.org/legislation/ruralfactsheet.htm This may not be for you, but, it could be a start. > I have been providing raw milk for $6.00 and now am faced with remodling the > milking barn and creating a new milk processing area to meet Washington State > code.
