Meadow Creek Dairy
Galax, Virginia
In managing their herd of Jersey cows at Meadow Creek Dairy in southwest Virginia, the Feete family is intent on providing them with the best care possible, which in turn helps them produce the highest quality cheese from raw cows’ milk with no added coloring or preservatives. The deep yellow coloring of these cheeses reflects the grass-based diet of the Jersey cows and the high beta-carotene content of the milk.

With meat prices on the rise, does that mean milk prices will also increase? http://mygreendiet.com/blog/reason-3/

As someone who is always looking out for animal-friendly products which tend to be safer, healthier and keep me feeling better about myself as a human being, I salute these farmers and Whole Foods for supporting them. I will look for this in your store and pass the word onto my friends.

just curious- do organic dairy farmers slaughter their cows when they no longer “produce enough milk”?

this paints a nice picture, an improvement over the the traditional dairy farm. but i doubt those cows are happy. what happens to the baby cows (since cows have to be impregnated yearly or more to be lactating – giving milk). particularly the male babies? are they not ripped from their mothers and used for veal? cows grieve like humans. and what happens to these cows after they are spent (too old to produce)? do they not end up as hamburgers? nice retirement after a life as a prisoner, serving humans.
