58. I buy butter at Costco

Wed Oct 31, 2018, 12:31 PM

Oct 2018

I think it is made by Challenge; the packaging is identical. I bake a LOT, especially during the upcoming holiday onslaught of occasions which require it. It is excellent baking butter.

Sometimes if I can catch it on sale, I buy butter at Braums, a local company which sources everything from its own farm. No hormones or other icky things, at least partially grassfed Holstein cows, and they make their own ice cream, butter, milk, sour cream, cream cheese, whipping cream, cottage cheese, and half & half. Good dairy products, and the best fat free milk I have ever had.

The farm is in Oklahoma. Probably Republican but doubt they advertise or support I seldom see advertising for them. Their stores also offer pretty good burgers, and breakfast and many flavors of ice cream as well as a sort of mini market which includes produce, frozen food, bacon, sausage, meat , juice, coffee, sugar etc. The usual emergency stop items.
