Ronnybrook

If you do purchase milk products I think the best place to buy from is Ronnybrook farms or an independent dairy like it. Ronnybrook seem to run a sensible and progressive family farm that gives their herd access to pastures and green foods. They bottle most of their products in glass containers that will be reused if you return them.
Recently Ronnybrook introduced their drinkable yogurt also in large glass bottles . If you like this format for their yogurt let them know. You can write to them at: info@ronnybrook.com.

Buying dairy products from Ronnybrook and farms like it, is not just about the animals (even though this should be reason enough), this is also about your well-being and about the farmers. NPR recently did a report on the struggle of the independent dairy farmer. You can find John Burnett's piece Independent Farmers Feel Squeezed by Milk Cartel at: www.npr.org.
