Pretty neat

 
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 lactose free milk comes from the Dairy Aisle at ShopRite. I assume there is a cow in the back of the store and someone to take the lactose enzymes out of the milk. I never thought about what goes on before I buy my milk!
I only know I will only buy my milk in a supermarket and never a gas station or convenience store! Lol

My milk comes from almonds and coconuts.
I've been allergic to fresh cow dairy products since I was a child. Things like aged dry cheeses, yogurt and dairy from a goat don't bother me.
I've been staying away from the dairy entirely since I've been staying away from foods that contribute to inflammation (such as sugars, dairy, and grains).
 
I've told our milkman

I wanted your superiors to find out which cow my milk comes from. I will not have my bottles coming from just any old animal. We passed a very photogenic herd recently grazing on the Earl of Crawford’s estate. Would you please ensure that in future my two pints daily come from 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...
 
I Don't Drink

titty milk. Haven't in decades. I will still use it on occasion for some baking, though.

I own a Soyajoy and having been making and drinking soy milk for decades. I like Silk but Edensoy is my favorite brand.

Making your own soy or almond milk is easy with one of the makers, though you can also make excellent soy or almond milk with just a blender and cheesecloth. The trick with either of these milks is finding your preferred flavoring.

Coconut milk is so insanely high in saturated fat (Polar brand, 13g for 1/3 cup) that save for a couple of recipes from Belize, I never use it.
 
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.
 
Note to Hyacinth...

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.
