I do remember milk that you had to shake -- a habit I still slip into
now and again, much to my Dad's amusement. My husband remembers drinking
very fresh milk that tasted slightly of green onions because that's what
the cows across the street were eating at the time.... We regularly buy
from Maple View Dairy for a couple of reasons, primarily because they do
not feed their cows hormones, but also because it is very fresh and
because they're just around the corner from us. They have a Web site -
http://www.mapleviewfarm.com/ - for those who are interested.
