A temp controlled chicken house with a radio... cute. I might be like that if I had chickens. My cats are incrediblly spoiled. The radio might help keep predators away, though.

I visited the hen house where I am getting my eggs now and it looked nice enough and the hens seemed happy, but I don't believe it was temp controlled and they did not have a radio.

Duck eggs have a great big yolk and are the BEST for baking!

Here is an interesting article about the taste: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=131

I love goat yogurt and cheese of many varieties. The milk- which I only had once- was really yummy and sort of more buttery sweet even though it was low fat. Lots of my friends from overseas drink it regularly and even get it here in Virginia since they like it better than cow's milk. Give it a try!

ps: this is a good site to find local foods

Also, you may want to Google or CraigsList search for "cowpooling" which is raw milk sharing to find somewhere local. I love that word- always makes me laugh! Hope it helps!

That is the website where I found my free range eggs. I never thought to try Craigslist though.

I haven't heard the term cowpooling! That's funny. I've heard it called cowshares or herdshares. I may do that and I guess I should look into it more but I was thinking it would probably cost more than I want to spend.

Well, yes I think lost of people use it for buying bulk meat but I've seen it also used for milk. You could also try checking in at any local farmers markets and just asking around. Maybe even see if you put an add on CraigsList if anything comes up. Since raw milk sales are illegal in many states you probably have to find the back door to buying like cowpooling/herdsharing.

Try your local farmers markets too. That's where I get mine.

Feds will come looking for you for even talking about raw milk... that's like getting on a plane claiming you have a bomb. There are lots of raids on Amish farms for selling raw milk. Dumb.

Anyway - goat milk fat doesn't 'glob' together so it is easier digested and supposedly the proteins are easier to digest /absorb. Most lactose intolerant people can drink goat's milk with no problems. It also is said to soothe ulcers!

It has a different taste, but is easy to get used to! And goat cheese is the bomb! I am hoping to get a couple of my own dairy goats so I can cut out the middle man :D
