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!

" 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. "

I'd say the increase is from their biodynamic farming, Chris. My Brown Cow

says

8%.

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.

Is Brown Cow pastured? I'm not even sure what biodynamic farming is. Haven't

figured it out yet. It could be a mistake too. I'll have to see if the

containers say the same a month from now ;)

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.

Do you mean pastured or pasteurized? It says all Brown Cow suppliers are rbST

free. 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.

Think I'll try a biodynamic yogurt starter. Haven't seen Hawthorne Valley in

the Northeast catalog. So you're in VT, piimaman. 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.

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

With Vermont producing 50% of New England's dairy products, the mindset of

less

rather than more agricultural methods and the fact that its the only New

England state not having a coast and later settled it is our best choice

too to

move to.
