Step 7: Milk a Cow

OK, so I didn't actually milk any cows lately, but the small Ohio dairy farm that Barbara and I now purchase dairy milk from (via the Clintonville Co-op) is near enough to our house that I could probably drive over and at least look at the cows if I felt like it. So, to all who are interested, I have forsaken my beloved (but quite un-local) soymilk for some less processed, less industrial organic cow milk. My original reasons for giving up on dairy milk - that it was full of hormones and puss (and generally kind of gross anyway) don't hold water in the face of the Snowville Creamery. I have to say, it's been pretty delicious. And the best part is that most of the money we spend on our milk (which is more than for a gallon of conventional stuff but pretty much the same as we spent on soymilk), goes directly to the dairy farmer. What else could you want?
