When you taste food made with such care, you realize what we sacrifice by buying the generic stuff (all types of food--from cheese to vegetables to meat) found in most supermarkets. Would that we had purses that could afford those peerless food products on a regular basis.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-82523977888246074372019-07-10T01:43:14.552+01:002019-07-10T01:43:14.552+01:00Doesn't freeze ?....I milked our 2 cows for 6 ...Doesn't freeze ?....I milked our 2 cows for 6 years and milk went straight to the freezer, yes it separates into milk and cream but you just give it good shake in the bottle .abbeysmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578270434201681452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-4427067358221807792019-07-09T21:03:27.613+01:002019-07-09T21:03:27.613+01:00Your visit sounds so interesting and informative! ...Your visit sounds so interesting and informative! I've heard of the automatic milking but not where the cows wore a device and took themselves in and out to be milked - brilliant! It sounds like that couple have quite a good little business going and I bet the cheese is delicious.

I have memories of the barn being filled with purebred Holsteins and all the kids learned how to milk cows. They sold most of their milk to a dairy co-op and the remainder to a local cheese factory where one of my uncles worked. They made cheddar and colby cheese. There is a unique smell to a cheese factory like that. <br />It is so neat that you got to go and see how the cheese comes to be.

I love farm shops and there are quite a few down here. One actually has their own trawler to sell the fish in the shop. They also do fantastic fish and chips in the cafe apparently.

We have a farm near us in Kent that sells raw milk, eggs, etc in a revolving machine and they supply the bottles for the milk so that you can fill your own. I was going to start buying the milk until I found out it was whole milk and I dont drink whole milk and plus it doesnt freeze - I always keep a stock of milk in my freezer. mazda502001https://www.blogger.com/profile/15129109544191734447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-21654833842824937982019-07-09T10:12:11.004+01:002019-07-09T10:12:11.004+01:00Cheeses and ice creams seem to be the way forward ...Cheeses and ice creams seem to be the way forward with dairy farmers now.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-65166207057580539822019-07-09T08:50:23.622+01:002019-07-09T08:50:23.622+01:00I really learnt a lot from your WI outing.

As you know, we live next to a (big) dairy farm and it's still pretty old-fashioned - cows brought in at 4.30 and 2.30 for milking, then turned out again. Udders washed by hand etc. <br /><br />Enjoy your cheese - as you say, there is a premium for proper cheese but you will enjoy it more I'm sure, knowing the background and care for the livestock is so sound.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-21964876132971052942019-07-09T08:09:49.287+01:002019-07-09T08:09:49.287+01:00I wonder if the price people pay for their food in...I wonder if the price people pay for their food in <br />France, mentioned on their blogs, is also what we should all really be paying.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-15206463220042729202019-07-09T07:20:23.652+01:002019-07-09T07:20:23.652+01:00What an amazing visit - I wounder how far away the...What an amazing visit - I wounder how far away they are from here (Southwold).
