It is also available at Bigg's in Hyde Park (my usual big box grocery shopping destination). It is delicious milk, even the 2% tastes more like whole milk. .-= Chris S´s last blog ..Tis the season! =-.

I second Liz's comment about using the cream for butter. Snowville creamery is now the only cream we use when making butter. It is absolutely luxurious. .-= Jess´s last blog ..The Palace =-.

Oh by the way, the SAME MILK is available at Bigg’s in Hyde Park for $2.99 a carton……to my knowledge, less than they charge at Whole Foods.

We have been buying that milk for about 2 months now. Mostly my husband uses it–I am not a milk person, really, but he has cereal every morning and a glass or two per day just to drink. We buy it because of its environmental bennies.
Glad you are spreading the word!

Ok, before I got distracted, I meant to ask if the milk is really strong? I remember ordering milk years a ago in Tennessee and it was too strong for me like I was drinking cream straight from the bottle. I didn't care for it at all. Of course, I was about 12 so I am sure that my taste have grown. .-= Christina Baita´s last blog ..Cincinnati Women Bloggers Meeting: Cincinnati Ballet =-.

i read your blog post right before i left to go grocery shopping. i went to biggs and found this milk and thought i'd give it a try. i just had some cereal with it and it was pretty good. you are correct- it has a buttery taste. the real test will be when i make a cappuccino with it. that's how i drink milk the most. .-= D R E W´s last blog ..etsycincinnati: under the sun =-.

Julie, sometimes I think you read my mind LOL As soon as I started reading I thought, I bet she’s found Snowville! My mom & I chatted & sampled with the Snowville Creamery guys at Biggs in Mason and although it was good, she usually sticks to the plastic gallon jugs. Yesterday at Biggs in Hyde Park I finally decided to buy a half gallon… and I LOVE IT! But I am a milk drinker… glad you’ve found some you like, too

Thanks for responding with this comment and the information. I will check it out for my own blog’s research. I thought that you may also want to know that Chron’s disease is also thought to be possibly caused by Gluten, the protein found in wheat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten_sensitivity
http://www.nutrihealth.org/pages/crohns.html

The protein in dairy (casein) can also affect the body and cause/affect Chron’s. That could also be one reason for the milk issue. If the symptoms are still present with your friends it may be wise for them to be tested for a gluten intolerance and/or even delete it from their diet to see if they begin to feel better.I have read books where the gut has healed itself after removing the gluten from the diet.

Regarding the pasteurization methods, there are other cultures that drink cow/goat/camel milk straight from the animal with no pasteurization at all and are quite healthy.The largest benefits of the dairy are completely removed during the heating process, which may be one reason why they use the methods they do.

These animals are raised in a more natural and organic state than the ones that are crammed into a cemented animal factory, where the only true desire is profit. When the animals are walking and eating in their own feces, there is a greater chance of disease, not to say that this is why your friends became ill. For all I know with the information given, they could have raised the cows themselves. It’s all a chance unless you do raise and grow your own food and even then, who knows.

Good luck to them and thanks again for the information!
