So excited!! Our first milk delivery just arrived on our porch. I feel like I am living back fifty years or so. We put a cooler out on our porch this morning and I heard some rustling around a few minutes ago. This is what I find:
I am so excited! My DH is going to be even more! This is all organic milk from organic grass fed no antibiotic or growth hormone injected dairy cows. The eggs are organic too. We got this delivery from Duncraven Farms. They also deliver cheese from a local cheese shop, Palantine Cheese. How awesome is this!!
We had visited the Mohawk Harvest Co-op a couple times. The last time we visited we bought some milk, which was from Duncraven Farms with their contact info on the top of the bottle. We decided to forgo the middle man and contact the farm ourselves. I am so happy we did. The co-op is not the closest to us and we decided that his prices were way too high to shop there anyway. I was really disappointed on our last visit when he talked me into "The best tasting Cinnamon bread in the world.. makes the best french toast.. fresh baked that morning.. we even do our own cinnamon french toast dance... we had it three times that week". The price of the loaf of bread was $4, he did give it to us for $3.50, but it still wasn't worth it. We got home and the next morning I made it as french toast. Upon slicing into the loaf there was one tiny line of cinnamon that ran along the bottom of the loaf that you could barely taste. I was utterly disappointed, especially for all the jazz he gave me about it because I was hesitant at the store, and for the price I could have bought a loaf of bread at Panera. We went to Panera the next day and they were selling cinnamon raisin bread that looked 100x better for the same exact price and Panera is not the cheapest. Needless to say, I don't think we are going back to the co-op.
So, anyway, stoked to find out Duncraven Farms delivered milk right to our doorstep, along with eggs and cheese! Whoohoo! Can't get much better than this, and it's organic!!
I'm on my way to cutting the grocery store out all together in my life. It will be so much healthier for my family, I'll be supporting the local farms, and it will probably be cheaper. ;)
