Re: Northern CA - On Taking Action!

January 12, 2002

I also spoke to - yes, the Trader Joe's is a great idea.

Apparently, there are only a few dairy distributors in Northern CA

and the refridgeration is the issue. Trader Joe's has their own

refridgeration with distribution, which is why it would work. Call

local Trader Joes' and try to get a demand going - get them asking

about it, and talking about it. Even though the decision is made by

Corporate in So. CA, we can help by telling them we want it.

Also, call your local Real Food Companies and do the same - give them

's number - they are very interested and enthused and want it.

Call Whole Foods and tell them - and any other large, health food

oriented stores in your area. is extremely commited to getting

us some of this milk to the Bay Area, along with colostrum milk, and

butter and cream in a few months as well - all pasture fed, organic,
