[Guest guest]

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who responded to my posts and

offered your great suggestions! I'm a newbie here, so any and all

help is sincerely appreciated. I have so many questions to ask some

of you, and I also think I have a lot to offer in the way of help and

suggestions.

I've just read the recent posts concerning raw milk. I'm from

Massachusetts and it is NOT easy get raw milk here...unless you live

on a farm, of course. I've heard that if you go to a farm here and

tell the farmer that you would like to purchase some raw milk inorder

to make some cheese, then that is the loophole that will allow them

to sell it to you! Funny, isn't it?

I've also heard that there are certain towns and communities in the

state that have ordinances which allow the individual farms to sell

it to the consumer. I thought that I had found such a farm, but

after tasting their milk, I decided to stop buying it from there.

The milk actually tasted like skim milk...not creamy and tasty as I

expected! Perhaps I was expecting too much, never having tasted raw

milk before! The other possibility is that since he drained the milk

from a sprout near the bottom of this fairly big tank, the cream had

seperated from the milk and had risen to the top. BTW...when I first

went to this farm, the farmer treated me with much suspicion, prolly

thinking that I was from the gov't! 8^)

My question: Is raw milk supposed to taste naturally creamy?

Also, do any of you live in Massachusetts, and if so, are you aware

of any farms or communities that allow for the sale of raw milk?
