Got (Enough) Milk?

That stuff needs to "moo"ve before it goes "baa"d. Cow or goat?

Virginia subsidizes dairy farmers by criminalizing raw milk. If that were our fridge and we did not own the animal it came from it could bring a year in jail and a $1000 fine. Maybe we can come down sometime and make a bootleg run.

Jacob you are right, that is raw milk. Sara buys it directly from the farmer here. Tastes good, but it is rather astounding to see how much we consume and it is pretty expensive compared to grocery store milk. I think my family is probably subsidizing the farmer's kids and the cow's calves through degrees at Harvard with this stuff. By the way, Justin, it won't go bad, we ran out last week.

Justin said...

Same thing here, Jacob. It is against the law. Kind of dumb if you ask me.

I haven't drank or used milk for better than 10 years. I think we were living in Mississippi when I quit. Made me so sick I'd be doubled over in pain. The memory of that has made it rather easy not to go back.

Water, if it is pure and clean is the best thing to be drinking. Milk is meant for growing babies and cows milk is for growing calves.
Luke use to love milk and get mad when I didn't let him have as much as he wanted.
One gallon of maple syrup would cost about what you probably paid for all this milk. I am guessing you pay 5-6 dollars a gallon, am I close? Grandpa get a gallon of Maple syrup sent to him every year from a friend in Vermont! Besides it being so expensive it costs a lot to ship!

I think my calves are finished growing for now.

Melanie said...

Your calves or your thighs?

Luke said...

I think its 6 dollars a gallon.
