Where can you buy milk that is produced locally by cows never injected with Bovine Growth Hormones? Where cows are lucky enough to graze on pasture from Spring through Fall? Where you can be sure you are drinking high-quality milk from healthy animals that you can see as you drive by? And sold to returnable glass bottles, to boot!!
