It could be seen as advertising off property, even if the seller is sitting in their own house while writing. I make cheese, and ice cream, and sauces and so forth. . . The cost can be a little high. Look into a cow share, it might be a little better, but you have to have a chunk of money up front.<br /><br /><br />Marina, stop by when you can, give the little ones a squeeze and tell the ole man to bugger off!Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-59187568772319129892009-07-25T09:45:16.241-05:002009-07-25T09:45:16.241-05:00Haven't checked before today, but according to...Haven't checked before today, but according to realmilk.com, there's a few places within an hour or so from here.<br /><br />Will be here as long/often as I can, but since weekends are hell re: the husband, I'm not sure how long I'll last.Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903972911012447585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-63488496769853663712009-07-25T09:36:23.594-05:002009-07-25T09:36:23.594-05:00What do you do with all the milk you get from your...What do you do with all the milk you get from your cows, P? <br /><br />Do you sell it or drink it?

Our local brand has the nerve to brag that they are still 50 cents cheaper than a national brand.
