great post! i’m right in the same neck of the woods as you, and am also a bit obsessed with healthy, whole, natural foods (and more broadly, natural living). i am betting i know which farm you got your yogurt from and am wondering about the other farm…hope you don’t mind if i send you an email to get more info! we were part of a fantastic organic CSA program last year at a small, family-owned farm, but that was in NJ before we moved…now i’m trying to suss out all of the best local sources here in PA!

I’m on the journey, too! We just started raw milk in February, and it IS rather quaint to skim the cream for butter. If you’re interested in a tutorial from a beginner, check out mine: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/recipes/homemade-butter/

Good luck on your journey! You’ll find there’s always more to learn and change, but don’t be overwhelmed. Just babystep it.

I’m so jealous of your trip to the farm! Even if local/grass fed, etc. food wasn’t so much better for us, it would be worth it to buy from the farmer just because you get to meet the person who is growing your food and help them keep doing that.

Glad you like Real Food – don’t you want to give a copy to everyone you know?

I’m proud of you! Not only is a good step for your family, but I love the idea of buying local and supporting your local community. I realize it is cost prohibitive, but in the long run, I think the elimination of processed food and use of more locally grown fruits/vegs should offset it. It does take a lot of work to seek out these resources and utilize them. I’ve just started “In Defense of Food” and love it—I actually made focaccia bread last night in my bread machine–with only five ingredients that I recognize and have on hand. But the pre-packaged garlic toast surely would have been easier! I’m really trying to focus on those ingredient lists. Thanks for sharing your journey, you are an encouragement!

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip to Boston!

We have been making small changes in the way that we eat. Less pre-packaged foods, more cooking from scratch. But haven’t taken these steps yet. I think the main thing that holds us back is the expense, and Hubby is still in grad school. Maybe when we graduates and gets a “real” job!

That yogurt sounds divine! That might be the place that we start. I’ll have to do some research into what’s available in our area. we don’t even have a CSA, although I have thought about researching what it would take to get one started. I know there are lots of local farms!

Thanks for sharing, Jo-Lynne!

I love getting farm-fresh eggs. We have a family friend that sells them straight from his farm and they are fabulous. We also just got our first ever chicken straight from a free-range farm and they are fabulous! I can’t wait to cook another one.
