I have some readers from Ohio and if they give me any leads on a good raw milk source I'll email them to you. So if anyone can help Ginalee out send me an email. PS My 5 year old son love to lick salt too :) Hi Ginalee

I lovingly refer to those days as my 'Rebecka of Sunnybrook Farm' days. "It was the VERY BEST PART of my whole LIFE"... and I greatly miss it. I only weighed, 1 1/2 lbs. when I was born, so the fact that I even lived, back then... was definately a miracle of God! And 'Everyone' made sure... I ate well! What do you think my most favorite and loved food was? "MILK", all I wanted... fresh, rich and creamy - still warm from the cow! It was also "Organic and 'RAW' (unprossesed) Milk". The cows only graised on grass and ate what Grandpa grew. I remember going to the mill or grainery with him, to have the grain bagged and get salt lick for the cows - which I used to love to lick - by the way. Hey, I was only 5... OK? Grandpa used to think it was funny... I just thought it tasted good. I also remember sharing a 'Milk Bone' dog biscuit on occassion... with "Lassie", my Collie. I was a Grandpa's girl... a real Tomboy. I still, "LOVE" MILK and Cheese but I can't have it anymore... for digestive and alergic reasons. "Because I can't get it ANY WHERE in it's 'TRUE' form." I can get 'Organic', which doesn't make me as sick as the junk from the store. But I also need it to be 'RAW' (uncooked)... for the Live Enzymes - that help it digest and breakdown on its own... without my body having to do that. I don't know where you live... but I'm in Ohio. Any chance of getting some "REAL" MILK... for an older person... that really needs it? Thank You, Ginalee PS I'm trusting you... not to publish or give out my email address!

I visited Gearld Fry's website and found it God-honoring and very educational. As we move forward with our Working Farm Outreach and Learning Center we need all the "True" livestock knowledge and wisdom help we can get. God Bless Hi Scott,

However, we may be buying a Jersey heifer from friends in the spring. I sure hope she's a good one. We've had her mama's milk, and it sure is good! Wish we lived closer as well!
