I like the taste of goat milk though. I was going to try camel milk when I was in Dubai, but then I forgot – I did take many pictures of the camels though!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-19373804618155034402012-08-25T00:29:03.408+01:002012-08-25T00:29:03.408+01:00I prefer to purchase fresh milk, though it is demi...I prefer to purchase fresh milk, though it is demi-creme, yet because shops are a fair distance I keep UHT milk for emergency use. Unfortunately, I am not a huge consumer of milk nor beef BUT am truly happy to pay MUCH more for fresh milk produced by cows, goats or sheep, dairy products and good quality beef. I love good quality butter. For years, a vegetarian as a result of dietary necessity, I only ate margarine. Recently my taste buds were in shock, disgusted by the taste. <br />I am keen to support all dairy farmers because it would be a heinous crime to let them as well as miners become extinct! Although, I am rather out of touch with Uk and Eu matters, please let me know how I can support the cause!<br />Education is required, as some people in 21st century are still unaware as to where milk comes from. At least my 4 year grand daughter could tell me the facts ... so there is some hope for the planet! <br />SweetpeainFrancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-20116177355241802062012-08-23T19:09:17.811+01:002012-08-23T19:09:17.811+01:00My uncle was a small dairy farmer and I used to lo...My uncle was a small dairy farmer and I used to love drinking fresh milk from the bulk tank, when he retired the farm was sold and is no longer a farm. Interestingly, on BBC Countryfile on Sunday it was reported that UK farmers do far better than MANY European farmers as far as milk prices are concerned... The protests will probably spread!Colin and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990185210945021818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-16656798038701135472012-08-23T18:21:20.176+01:002012-08-23T18:21:20.176+01:00A sad state of affairs. :(A sad state of affairs. :(LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-62693975860384883222012-08-23T14:32:49.187+01:002012-08-23T14:32:49.187+01:00I agree, although I must confess I usually buy fro...I agree, although I must confess I usually buy from the supermarket.

Your farmer is self serving and I can understand why he's lost your sympathy vote.<br /><br />The situation with milk prices can't continue. Farmers will go out of business, we'll import even more milk and when it isn't available or the price goes up we'll be back on to powdered milk! Do you remember Marvel?GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-853410395917264932012-08-23T14:25:16.644+01:002012-08-23T14:25:16.644+01:00We love our fresh milk from La Borde - half a mile...We love our fresh milk from La Borde - half a mile away!

Sadly I think too many people just don't care as long as they're getting cheap food.<br />We buy our milk from the farm gate where it's delicious, fresh and cheaper than in Tesco. <br /><br />BUT the same farmer is the one that has a planning applicantion for opencast mining on some of his land, which will have a huge impact on the village, so now I no longer feel like supporting him either. He has lost my sympathy vote.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
