Someone recommended that we go for a visit to Calder Dairy Farm in Carelton, so we did! You can watch them milk the cows, and they let you feed the calves. Additionally, there is a little store where they sell their own milk, ice cream (made from their milk), and other sundry items.
They have lots of animals, don't use any hormones, and feed their animals with their own food from the farm. They don't spray their fields with pesticides and other chemicals that make you grow a third ear.
They have a nice old-fashioned delivery service that we have started utilizing. Every week, Stan the Milkman comes to my door with great-tasting milk. The prices aren't too bad, and we feel good about consuming a quality product whilst supporting a local farm.
That sounds great! I am so glad that there are more and more people turning to smaller farming outfits for their products.
