Miami County Locally Grown:  Milk's untold story...

You can order from our Market here

The untold story of milk…is actually a book title, by Dr. Ron Schmid, ND, and worth reading, too. It is basically about the history of pasteurization—a word most are familiar with, but maybe not in much detail. In short, it is the heating of milk to a high temperature for a short time, ostensibly to kill pathogenic bacteria. But the practice did not become mandatory until the 1940s. What brought it about in the first place? During rapid industrialization in the 19th century, people migrated en masse to urban locations, and so did dairies. The so-called “distillery dairies” were right next to whiskey distilleries; spent grains were fed directly to the cows, who stood tied their entire short, miserable lives, eating a rancid, putrid diet. It is no wonder that their milk was as diseased as they were, and many people thus died of milk-borne diseases. In this way, pasteurization was introduced to kill pathogens in milk. The 19th century logic of public health still dominates food regulations today—the gist of which is, that all bacteria are bad and must be eradicated.

Not that food regulations are wholly unjustified, of course, particularly for “factory-farmed” meat, dairy, and any other food that is produced on a mass scale. This production model has many opportunities for actual dangerous pathogens to enter the process.

However, small-scale producers, using traditional methods and natural diets—the term grass-fed has entered the popular lexicon—are comparatively much less likely to be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Furthermore, the great majority of bacteria are not harmful (hence the term probiotic). The nutritional value of unpasteurized milk is far superior, as many other substances are preserved: food enzymes and fat-soluble vitamins, in particular. If you’re interested, talk to Bair-Trax Dairy!

Grumpy Goat:  Special Sunday Pick up!!!

For those that haven’t noticed the market is open. We’ve included the option to pick up Sunday Morning in case you want to get some last minute bread for all your game day dips or pick up a basket of goodies to gift your Valentine! Tuesday Pick ups are also still available.

New this week are a few Valentines day gift baskets featuring things like our local honey, maple syrup, and bourbon spiced nuts, as well as lip balms and soap.

I’ve also finally added the Tokyo Bekana cabbage to the order form. This is more like lettuce than cabbage with buttery leaves and a mild flavor that can be eaten raw or cooked.

We also thought we’d let everyone know that tapping season has started. We put 45 maple taps in yesterday and got our first load of about 50 gallons sap to start boiling this week!

Happy game day to all of you! Don’t party too hard.
