Two quick Milkalicious photos

Here is some raw milk we picked up at Willow Creek Orchards.  I’m afraid I don’t remember which farm it comes from, but I know that M turned it into fabulous yogurt.  Willow Creek’s dairy case is not huge, so it should be easy to find. 

If you look closely, you can see the yellow cream start halfway up the bottle.  When I was a girl, we would visit my grandparents in England, and Pip (my grandfather) would let me pour off the cream from the bottled milk that was delivered every day.  That would go in a separate pitcher, and then in the evening, I would be sent out to the netted “room” in the garden to pick raspberries.  We would eat them for dessert, the red raspberries making pink streaks in the thick cream. 

As you can see from this picture, they had a variety of other great products at Willow Creek, including the best raisins I’ve ever eaten (and the first that actually made me think of grapes!), a couple of good red sauces, parmesan, and peanut butter.  All local, local, local!
