Organic Milk

November 11, 2009 by Angela Leave a Comment

I should probably have a segment on this blog called “Ask my readers” because every time I ask, I get such great advice from you all!

Lately I’ve been thinking about organic milk. We buy roughly 1/2 gallon a week for the two of us, and I pay $3.29 for the Trader Joe’s brand. I’m willing to pay that price, but I’ve heard so much about the plight of the dairy farmers that I’d like to find out how I can help them, or maybe get the milk more directly. I’ve even read on a few blogs, though I don’t remember where, about picking up your own fresh organic milk directly from the dairy farm.

So here’s my question: do you buy organic milk in a way that gets more of the money to the dairy farmers? And can anyone tell me how to find out more about it? Please leave your thoughts in a Comment. And thanks so much! Usually when I’m thinking about something like this, so are a lot of other people.

About Angela

On January 1st, 2009, I joined The Compact and pledged to Buy Nothing New for one year. It sounded like the perfect way to converge my desire to live on less money with my interest in living a simpler life and trying to lessen my carbon footprint. The experiment was so rewarding that I'm continuing with it indefinitely. This blog documents my journey in non-consumerism.
