Despite economy, consumers go to great lengths for raw milk

[Guest guest]

consumers continues to expand, despite the sour economy.

Dairy farmers like Tim Wightman of Darke County, who supplies milk

from five Milking Shorthorns to 157 shareholders in local towns such

as Yellow Springs, Kettering and Beavercreek, said demand for fluid

milk remains strong, though consumers are making more cream and

butter themselves to cut costs...

Carolyn,

I was having this exact conversation with my milk man during my last pick

up. His supply is at peak and he is turning away customers, and has been for

over a year. But, he said the requests have not slowed down. I'll have to

share this with him when I get milk next week.
