Go here for a video report on KREM news. They are one week into selling in stores and here is the literal money quote from the farmer, "We sure have the interest, but now is when the rubber meets and road..." In other words, there is a lot of interest in local food, but can we build a business on that interest. Send a message this week that Spokane will support investment in local, sustainable, and healthy food systems and go buy a couple of gallons of Spokane's Family Farm's milk - bottled by Mike and Tricia.
Our journey last year showed us the maze of simply trying to find out where our food comes from. The industrial ag systems are not set up to provide this information. The beauty of this new opportunity is that it's a simply supply chain. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean.
This is the COOLEST! Darn, and i just bought a couple of gallons of "normal" milk. I don't know what the Veiras are selling their milk for, but I'm in. From now on all our milk will come from them. Craig, was this milk available during our local year? And I wonder what they feed their cows and all...?

This is the best tasting milk I have had in years. Simply wonderful, I urge you all to buy it.

FANTASTIC milk. Like I remember growing up from "real cows". We got some today at Rosauers. We were prepared to pay the full price for a gallon but found it was on sale for $1.99! Stunning. We should've gotten more. We'll be back! Because this gallon is almost gone already! Over the years I had grown to dislike milk & was indifferent about milk... to the point that if I was out of milk I was actually ok putting water on my cereal & hardly noticing a difference. But this milk is far from water... it's great! I recommend everyone try it. My bones thank you! I'm back to drinking milk!

I bought my first gallon today too, Shar. And there it was, $1.99 at Yokes! Are they really going to sell it at that price for the long haul, or is it just a promo? I forgot that when you get fresh milk like that you don't have the option of going 2% or non fat. My kids aren't used to it since we always buy nonfat. But it is yummy, and it doesn't taste as thick and filling as regular homog. milk.
