dairy farming

Nope, it's not fake. It's Canadian. Here in Canada, we have this nifty stuff called Homogenized milk.  

Tired of dealing with wholesale dairy giants slashing their prices and undermining the viability of his Eastleigh Farm, Doug Stephan wants to sell raw milk at the historic Northside operation. Stephan bought the farm four-and-a-half years ago to preserve the bucolic north Framingham of his youth -- cows and all -- and to prevent the property from being developed. But selling to the dairy conglomerates is a losing proposition nowadays, says Stephan.  

Friesland Campina has recalled 90 percent of its Dutch Lady Vivinal GOS-brand milk after the products were accused of causing allergies in children, the Dutch dairy firm said this week. Truong Van Toan, head of the firm's Legal Department, said the remaining 10 percent was hard to recall as consumers might have already used the products. Friesland Campina had estimated the volume to be recalled at a total 3 million products.  

Choppers and cheese may soon become official Wisconsin symbols. Bills to honor Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Lactococcus lactis — a bacterium used in the making of cheese — with the state symbol designation were introduced in the Legislature last week.

Listening to the Irish twins, whose musical ability is the subject of fierce online and TV debate, actually seems to increase the milk yield of the dairy cows at the farm in Beaminster, Dorset.  

Dartblog has commented in past posts on the striking taste and texture difference between milk straight from the cow and industrial-dairy milk, and the superiority of unpasteurized apple cider over the pasteurized sort. And one day we might voice at length our regret that the Hanover Co-op no longer sells fresh-squeezed OJ — as they did for many years without incident — because of yet another FDA regulation. But today let's look at raw milk cheese ( au lait cru on the cover depicted above of a Camembert  

The dairy industry recently rolled out an expensive media campaign in praise of chocolate milk, a classic school lunch drink that's under assault for its sugar content. As trade groups spend upward of $1 million to defend the drink, three fifth-graders have come to its rescue. A year after the school district in Barrington, Ill., banned flavored milk from its elementary- and middle-school lunch menus, students persuaded administrators to give it another chance.

Kids weren't drinking the white milk   -Haley Morris

 

She has been showing cows for a decade. Her family's second-generation dairy farm on Chestnut Plain Road milks about 80 Brown Swiss and Holstein cows. Her parents, Brian and Christine Belder, own the farm with her uncle, Ronald Belder.  

The Hindu dairymen, represented by the Hare Krishna in the United States, have much in common with dairymen from California, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The HK dairy is in West Virginia and is called New Vrindaban. They refer to themselves as a cow sanctuary.
