Thank you for this address!  I copied it to file, and hope to order a
catalog from them right away!
   I live in Newberg Oregon, about 45 minutes south of Portland.  In the
Willamette Valley, West of the Cascade Mountains.  There are a couple of
dairies near here, but I don't know how to approach them, even to ask if my
kids could "tour" their dairy to see "where milk comes from", which I think
would be a wonderful experience.  But I'm too shy to interrupt their
obviously very busy lives.
   Someone on here suggested that I befriend the dairyman before approaching
them about getting non-homogenized milk.  That seems kind of... unrealistic.
I'm not the sort of person who can pretend to be one thing when I actually
have the goal of another thing.  Now, if we became friends as a result of my
asking for the raw milk, that's one thing, but I can't pretend to be friends
in order to get the milk.  And there IS a law in Oregon (I thought it was
nationwide, but apparently not) that prevents dairy farmers from selling
non-homognized milk.
Not just pasteruized, but also has to be homogenized.  I wish they wouldn't
force us to drink this stuff, the formaldehyde is EXTREMELY hard on the
digestive system.  I'd like to be able to make my own choices about what my
family eats and drinks.  Perhaps that's one subtle reason why I'm so
interested in Medival cooking - getting back to the basics.  back to the
REAL food.
