Hello Adamantius.

Yes, I need cheese.  But more importantly, In reading the instructions with 
the kit I received from the New England Cheese Supply co., they warn me not 
to use homogenized milk as it will not form curds properly. They also said 
not to use Ultra-pasteurized milk.  Regular Pasteurized milk is fine.  In my 
local stores, I have not seen any non homogenized milk.  I have never seen 
ultra pasteurized that they mentioned.  

I have tried any of the health stores yet.  I am going to call some of the 
local dairies and see what I can come up with.  Perhaps even put an ad in our 
local small farm community paper.  Perhaps one of the local dairy farmers 
could supply me with some.  I grew up on unpasteurized milk and other dairy 
products until the farm shut down a few years ago.  Ahh Real Cream.  Heck 
with all the sheep farmers in the area maybe ewe milk.  As long as I do not 
have to milk them.

 If I may ask, why? Because you want to make cheese, or because you want
 to make cheese from unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk?
