Got Milk?

There's a dairy farm in the area that I've been meaning to take the kids to but haven't gotten the chance (it's a little bit of a drive...about 50 miles). However, I've heard that they sell their products at HyVee (hate HyVee...just reminds me of Iowa LOL!), so the kids and I headed up there to check it out. They have more milk than I've ever seen! You've got your standard Whole, 2%, 1% and Skim, cream, half and half, etc. Then, they have flavors: Chocolate, Banana, Root Beer, Orange Cream. They also had fresh butter. I can't believe how much milk I ended up buying. Mike and the kids loved the root beer (tastes like a root beer float, so I'm told) and the orange (think Creamsicle). Jacob calls the whole milk "yummy" because that's what the bottle says. "Can I have some yummy milk, Mom?" LOL! The nice thing about this brand is that they're local. They also don't use the antibiotics or growth hormones. And, it looks great in the fridge...I love the glass bottles. Small steps, I guess. But I thought that Debbie would be proud of me.
