I grew up drinking "REAL"(raw) milk. I drank it from the time I was born until I was about 12 years old. I'm 55 now, and NEVER had an illness due to the milk. I drank both cow and some goats milk. The "all knowing" state needs to help these small farms survive instead of blocking them every step of the way. "Real"(raw) milk is healthier for you, it provides much needed good bacteria for your system. When you go to the farm to buy your milk you can see the conditions there and you know where it came from. How much do you know about the milk you get from the super market?
Local farm milk has far superior taste. Milk from Jersey and Swiss cows is richer. America's factory farms produce watery stuff from Holsteins. They produce more milk per cow, but it is inferior and the biotics used to keep the cooped up cows healthy are not likely to help humans.
And I too have been known to make butter from the grass and hay fed, not kibble fed producers. It not only tastes better, it has more omega oils.
I love Cricket Creek Farm in Williamstown, which has not only milk and cheese, but meats and a bakery.
If unable to get there I buy Pittsfield's High Lawn Farm milk at the supermarket, but not all carry it.
FLORENCE, Ala. – Gianna Moses went 2-for-3 with a double and drove in a run on Friday to lead the Berkshire Force 12-and-under travel softball team to a 7-3 win over Davidson, N.C., at the Babe Ruth World Series.
The Force got just one other hit, a single from Cassidy Flynn, who finished with a pair of RBIs, on a day when it took advantage of five Davidson errors.
Berkshire jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, when Moses doubled and scored a run.
The Force led, 7-0, going to the bottom of the fifth before Davidson was able to put three runs across. The game ended after five due to the tournament’s time constraints.
Flynn and Olivia Archambault split time in the circle for the Force, combining to strike out seven, walk three and allow two earned runs.
The Force starts pool play with a record of 1-0 and continues on Saturday morning against the squad from Mexico. Berkshire wraps up pool play on Sunday with a double-header.

The game-winning rally started when Pittsfield junior Jack Abel led off by crushing a 1-1 pitch to left-center and racing all the way to third base, sliding in just ahead of the tag to give the Generals a sterling scoring opportunity. click for more
