Now I am incredibly jealous! Their farm store sounds amazing. And I do get pastured eggs and raw milk whenever I can. I live in Southern California and while we don't have as many farms doing dairy and eggs as up north, it can be found at a high premium. Wish it was more accessible.

And I am a believer in full fat milk products in general and raw milk in particular. After reading Pottenger's Cats, there was no way I was going back. All that marketing for skim milk is so they can sell an inferior product they normally threw away or fed to the pigs. They keep all the good stuff for themselves and sell you a carton of puss and water. Ew!

I love and support small farmers who are thinking out of the box and trying new methods and reviving old ones. The article on the Indian farmers increasing their yields not by GMOs or new chemicals, but a new method of planting is also extremely hopeful.

So tell your farmer he or she has got a huge fan out here in California!
