Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Someone mentioned earlier that Seven Stars Farms yogurt is 100% pastured. I'd been getting Stonyfield Farms, so I decided to check it out. I bought some last night. I looked at the label, and it has 29% USRDA of vitamin A per serving, over THREE AND A HALF TIMES what Stonyfield Farms has!!! I knew that pastured milk had a lot more vitamin A but I didn't realize it was _that_ much, mostly b/c the only pastured milk I buy is raw milk from the farm which doesn't have any nutritional analysis done on it. If the vitamin A content is that much after pasteurization, then I can't imagine how much my raw pastured milk or raw milk _yogurt_ has without being pasteurized! Chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 For what its worth, Seven Stars Farm yogurt is by far one of the very best commercially available products of any kind that I have found. I wish the milk was raw, however even at that it is still superior in every way to other commercially available products. Kudos to them.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I live in VT and the cream goes to sell Butterwork farms cream It's a very yellow cream very good although the cows do eat some grain. Ben & Jerry's , I'm sure is no way made with good quality milk or cream, it may be bst free (although now that Unilever bought it I doubt it). Another excellent brand of yogurt is Hawathorne Valley biodynamic yogurt. The make quark as well. piimaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it because it cultures my homemade yogurt best , after I eat the cream off the top :-) Another plus is its from California which was one of the best states for nutrient dense foods named in Metabolic Man.7 Stars from the looks is the most superior because of the biodynamics. A lot of herbs are used in biodynamics along with timing to earth's natural activities. I want to check out Butterworks Farm yogurt as I heard their soil in Vermont has tested better than any other in northern New England, although I can only find low fat. Wonder if the cream goes to Ben & Jerry's. Wanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 The soil here grows nice vegetation provided great care is taken, pastured products etc.. That was the reason why we chose to move here . piimaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got our house up for sale here in Western MA. Long story but for the best as we plan on moving to VT, Northeast Kingdom area most likely to get some better soil for one. In Metabolic Man it said you could make great soil with granite dust and chicken manure. VT is the Granite State. Wanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 There's a Montmorilonite mine in salt lake city, utah. In the book " secrets of the soil " by peter tompkins & christopher bird, they explain why this is superior to other rock dusts for reminerlizing soils. Its an excellent book, as is their other book, " the secret life of plants " . If anyone wants to get the contact fort the mine, i can dig it up, chris >From: Wanita Sears <wanitawa@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: seven stars farm yogurt >Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 17:05:55 -0400 > >At 03:37 PM 9/17/02 -0400, you wrote: > >I live in VT and the cream goes to sell Butterwork farms cream It's a >very > >yellow cream very good although the cows do eat some grain. > >Ben & Jerry's , I'm sure is no way made with good quality milk or cream, >it > >may be bst free (although now that Unilever bought it I doubt it). > >Another excellent brand of yogurt is Hawathorne Valley biodynamic yogurt. >The > >make quark as well. > >piimaman > >Think I'll try a biodynamic yogurt starter.
