Amy#/Eagles re: milk
I know you guys do the Lancaster Farm milk. I went to Merry Mead, who makes their own milk, today to pick up some local milk. It definitely tastes different and isn't really that much more expensive. How does yours taste different to you? It's hard to describe, but mine tastes, like, more refreshing and definitely less sweet.

Re: Amy#/Eagles re: milk
I went from 1% to skim for me and Charlie (Lancaster doesn't make 1%) and I like it so much better! It just tastes fresher
Sam is still on whole and it is definitely thicker and less sweet. Sam doesn't drink as much milk as Charlie did at her age, so I like that it's thicker

I'm also butting in to say that I love Freddy Hill's milk! My son loves watching the cows get milked so we go in the milking parlor every time we pick up milk. It stinks like hell but it's pretty neat.
Have you been to The Old Dutch Cupboard over in Harleysville on 113? They have the fresh milk in glass jars - regular, organic and chocolate. The chocolate is awesome! My neighbor's a beekeeper and his honey is also sold there. It's a cute little store.
So, we got 2% the first time, as Mr. Numbers doesn't do skim. I thought it tasted like dessert, but I think that is because I haven't had anything but skim in years.
This week we did a half gallon of skim and a half of 2% -- my half gallon of skim is almost empty. Refreshing is definitely the best word to describe it.
While we belong to Lancaster Farm Fresh, we buy our local milk from the nearby Whole Foods - they sell it from Trickling Springs Creamery in Chambersburg - because I like that it comes in glass bottles that the farm takes back and reuses.
As for the fresh taste, I'm not positive what they feed the cows that supply the LFF milk, but Trickling Springs only feeds grass instead of corn (which most traditional milk farms feed because it's cheaper) so that accounts for the different (and better) taste, along with no added hormones or antibiotics.
