milk from a Wisconsin co-op called Organic Valley. It's 'ultra-pasteurized', so there's still that problem, plus I really know nothing about them except their claims. Tastes good, though.

We buy organic butter from Costco - their Kirkland brand - again without knowing much about the product. But Costco is an interesting story when it comes to such things. Their olive oil is as good as any available out here, and they claim that it's essentially organic, too. If any of our Italian friends know anything about their source, I'd like to know.

Story from 1972 - Mirta and I lived in an original homestead 'house' on a dairy farm. The milk was definitely organic and old-style. The farmer told us that the tanker truck driver threw in a 5-gallon bucket of formaldehyde every so many gallons of milk collected. In any case we bought raw milk directly, and it was the best of our experience.

Sadly, the nearest Costco is two and a half hours away in Springfield, Mo.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
