Joining the Raw Milk Revolution!

We received a gift today - a half gallon of fresh Goat's Milk from Welcome Farm.  We welcomed our gift with open arms and open mouths.  Dann thinks it has a sweet finish.  I think it is just plain yummy!  But then again I'm so excited for any milk I can actually digest.

In my teens I learned I "must be" lactose intolerant because of issues I had following the consumption of dairy products.  Every now and then I would sneak in a glass of milk or some ice cream, knowing the penalty would mean I was doubled over in pain for the rest of the day.  So during the years when a woman is supposed to get the most calcium she can, I didn't unless cheese gives you extra points on the calcium intake scale.  I never snuck cheese, I would just out and out devour it.  Cheese is probably my biggest weakness when it comes to food. 

Anyway, this past summer I was introduced to Hillcrest Farms Milk from Moravia NY.  It is regular cows milk, but the cows are not given any hormones and the milk uses a slow (low heat) pasteurization process from what I understand.  Whatever they do, I am happy because ever since I have a glass of milk a day - sometimes two - with NO side effects!  And now to know that 10 minutes away Welcome Farm is offering fresh Goat's Milk...ahhh.
