My Hy-Vee brand milk came from Rochester, MN; about 150 east from me. Now I'm interested to find out if all variations of Hy-Vee milk come from the same place as well as where the other two brands the store carries come from.
Thanks for sharing this interesting milk locater with us, Ben!

My milk comes from an almond. I've been looking at almonds lately. Just wondering how they milk them. |

I do buy the Almond milk sometimes, there is a nice sweetness about it.....
but does an Almond give milk?....usually you get an oil extract from a nut.... I used heated almond oil for massages, smells good, but there is no taste, sort of a flat dry feeling on your tongue...but that's a whole other subject... now Coconut, smells and taste like Coconut, its a light scent and taste... |

Dr. has ordered me off most diary products, so I've cut way back. I liked the milk from H-E-B the best, their brand. |

I stopped buying milk for a while because I didn't use enough to justify most of it going sour before it was gone.
However a few years ago I started getting little pint bottles of Darigold brand whole milk. I use it primarily for coffee, and for the occasional recipe that requires milk. And yes, once in a while milk and cookies are nice. It's a bit more expensive per oz than buying it by the gallon, but if I wind up using just a pint of that gallon, then buying by the pint is cheaper. The Darigold is "Ultra Pasteurized", which means it was taken to a much higher heat than regular pasteurization, but for only 2 seconds, vs. 15 seconds for the lower temp. The end result is a much longer shelf life for the Ultra P product, like 70 days vs 20 days. And I've used pints that are a month or more out of their "use by" date and they are fine. In any case, I tried to find a source code on the little pint bottle, and made a rough guess, and it came out that it came from a dairy in Portland, Oregon. That sort of makes sense because Darigold is HQ in Seattle. But Portland is easily about 700 miles away from here, so the code I used might not give the real origin. I will however look for quart bottles of UltraP Darigold the next time I'm at the superm. |

The cowboys at the Earl of Crawford's ranch would like you to know that all milk produced from that herd goes directly to the Earl's private yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and chocolate milk operations, and all the products are used at the estate or gifted to selected members of the Royal Family. You may be a queen of your castle but that is insufficient to divert goods to your location.

I also hated milk when growing up.
When I was in late elementary school, it was discovered that I had an allergy to milk. Apart from froth on top of cappuccino (which I sometimes drank, starting in my mid teens), I haven't had anything remotely ressembling plain milk since that time. I never missed it.
I'm not sure how bad the allergy is now. The last time it got tripped off, I was about 19, and went to a college professor's house for a class holiday party. I had non-alcoholic eggnog (probably the stuff sold in cartons in every grocery store this time of year). I'd never had it before, and probably had too much. I had to read a poem, and IIRC my nose was starting to run about the time of my reading.
But about 10 years ago, I went through a phase of making cappuccinos...and I think there were times I probably should have tripped off the allergy, if it's still active. Then, again, I was only using organic milk...and there might be something there that might make a difference.
As far as I can tell, other dairy products haven't been a problem.
It's been a long time since I've bought actual milk.
In recent history, I've also become more conscious of other issues, such as animal welfare, which reduces my enthusiasm for milk (or dairy, in general) to even lower lows. Plus I'm hearing some people in favor of plant based diets say that dairy is really not a healthy choice for anyone but a baby cow.

Somehow I was allowed to bring a can of passionfruit juice to school (made cat noises & meowing & even imitated a baby "Goo Goo, Ga Ga" to myself as my kindergarten teacher forced me to drink the disgusting chocolate milk that I somehow could tolerate in preschool... The white that I'm sure I'd tried I must have disliked even more!) and somehow was never bullied, picked on, or bartered for it--none of it snatched away from, let alone, causing any-'one' or my entire of class joining or creating any kind of "juice revolution"...
Nowadays, I will drink my milk--Whole, but my overcrowded fridge right now only allows ONE jug, so for our daughter it's 'a jug of 2%',--and that's only to go with, or rather, justify, eating baked goods, desserts, or sweet treats... --Plus I use it for making pancakes, and oatmeal, while I dislike the wife making it for hot cocoa, as she (and the daughter who also likes & insists it be made that way) never finish it & one or two cups are found lying around at room temperature! Doesn't help that the stuff never gets completely stirred, for even if/when they do finish it, the remains scraped out (& hopefully eaten)... -- Dave |

Clover-Stornetta Farms in Petaluma, CA comes right up. Lucerne, which is Safeway's house brand, doesn't register. No surprise there. They likely source it from any number of dairy operations.
I stopped buying milk from Trader Joe's. I'm pretty sure it's re-badged product from Altadena Dairy in SoCal. It reliably turns bad before its sell-by date. Altadena has made the news more than once for salmonella issues. Those incidents may have been associated with their raw milk, a product that IIRC can't be sold in California anymore, although a black market exists for it.
I drank a lot of milk as a kid. Two quart bottles were delivered once a week. We only had soda once in a while, or if we chose to spend part of our allowance on a 6-ounce bottle of Coke, which had to be drunk on the spot in order to avoid a deposit charge for the bottle.
These days, I only use milk for cereal and for the occasional recipe that calls for it. |
