Local milk company expanding range

7 years ago

This morning Shatto Milk Company posted this on FB. "@djfreestylesteve Coming your way my friend. Best milk in the country is headed to you and all of your friends in Dallas via Central Market. You should have Shatto cream, half-and-half, traditional eggnog and pumpkin spice eggnog in your stores by the end of this week. More to come."

Couple of weeks ago some people were mentioning the loss of glass jugs that milk came in. Well, this company sells their milk in glass jugs. You do have to pay a deposit on the jugs which makes the initial purchase pricey. In this area they deliver to your door.

That's very interesting. Home milk delivery disappeared long ago in my neighborhood. This year, Wisconsin lost many family operated diary farms due to the tariff riff. A large portion of Wisconsin's dairy products were exported. Operators that reminded were large corporate ones of 1000 cows or more.

You probably already know you can get wine or cheese or ice cream maps in different states. Last summer we visited several wineries in the Camden ME area. We also pick up a list of the farmers markets so in Maine I can highly recommend the Friday market in Brunswick and the one in Bath (sorry, I think it was a Saturday). Since it's a drive, I only get to the Tilton NH Winter Farmers Market every couple of weeks. Friends from Marlborough MA thought it was worth the 1 1/2 hour drive (they must drive fast) to visit. Lots of value added products like jams and jellies but also the basics. Closer to me, the Hopkinton NH winter market has only a few vendors but Wind Song Farm has wonderful swiss chard. Kind of pricey but worth it. The chard is grown in their high tunnel and has sweetened with winter cold. Nothing like it in the big supermarkets. NH grown mushrooms are available at the Tilton market - grown in Tamworth. Concord NH has a very nice food coop that's open to the public. Across the street is Bread and Chocolate, a wonderful European style bakery. At the other end of Main Street across from the State House is Crust and Crumb. She makes wonderful unigue whoopie pies as well as several different kinds of breds. She's local but is gaining attention as a recipe tester for AP. Alison Ladman. Of course, up on congested Loudon Rd you can get locally made ice cream at Arnie's! You can make a grand tour around Concord NH since there are several apple orchards, blueberry farms, etc. Gould Hill in Hopkinton has a very large variety of heirloom apples - see the list on their website. There is also a local garlic festival in Canterbury. Organic garlic and blueberries are available in Contoocook NH. The Best pies are at Richardson's Farm Stand in Boscawen NH. They make their own ice cream, too, although up until recently they picked up the ice cream at their family place in Dracut MA. They don't have a lot of apples and veggies but I can get a good deal on apple seconds for baking.

Thing is, Alisande, I live in a megalopolis. There is virtually NO building land left in the county where I live, and it's home to over a half million people. That means houses sell, because they all have to live somewhere and they have to buy older homes. They all need services, they all drive cars, they all need to be educated, buy food, etc. And the economy truly seems to be booming here. I see companies advertising ON TV, begging for workers--I've never in all my life seen anything like that. And a young friend from here, just out of college, just got a job across the country earning close to $100,000/year. That's almost obscene for a first job. But, then, the county we're moving to is a little more sluggish. It's only 30 miles away, but houses are sitting a little longer there, and going for less. The one we bought, we got at a steal (222,500)--if it were in my 'other' county, right now--depending upon which town it was in, it would be selling for a minimum or $300,000--probably closer to $400,000 or more in some locations. So we were able to take advantage of the economy a bit, in buying our retirement home. The house we will be listing to sell will probably sell for at least what we paid for our new one, probably more--even though it's not nearly as nice, and doesn't have as much property. As I said, though, things can be vastly different in different areas. There are opportunities in any economic climate (buying low, selling high for us, for example). The creative and adventurous will find them and will come out the other end of this rich.

Hi mumblet, I am also in perimenopause, and find life very challenging, as I also have "Fibromyalgia".....whatever that ends up really being. I had to give up milk because of G/I problems. Just be careful not to make cause and effect connections that are not true. I do this all the time, and I'm finding that I'm quite possibly making wrong connections. I think the hallmark of perimenopause is that NOTHING ever is consistent! But I think it makes us feel like we have some control, in trying to figure things out. My G/I tract is going crazy.......I have to sleep in a chair! I'm blaming this on lower estrogen, since I'm having alot more headaches, nausea, some face flushing, etc. sorry to ramble.........I'm just discovering that doctors aren't much help making sense of things. I think it's perfectly "normal" in "perimenopause" to have heavy periods, and then no periods. I'm surprised your doc said periods shouldn't start up after not having some. I have always heard that if you go for a year without periods, then start having, that you should definitely be checked out for problems. I would also make sure the rest of my body was being checked out for possible problems too, and not assuming it is all from menopause. Checking hormone levels can drive you crazy. One week my estradiol was 23, the next week it was 400. The same thing happens to my OB/GYN, so she doesn't even draw them any more. I would just stick to what makes you feel the best, and make sure your inconsistent periods aren't from some other problem (i.e. thyroid, etc.). Good luck mumblet.........this time of life for some of us is just absolute CRAZINESS!!!! :)

Milk paint versus regular paint finish

karena - although we did not end up using CP, I did have some preliminary conversations/design idea exhcanges with them and they were great. Have only read positive reviews of those who have used CP. With the economic slow down, have heard of folks getting good discounts with them, so you might not rule them out completely before talking with them. I, too, was set on milk paint finish. We ended up utilizing local cabinet company. Were very flexible folks to work with and they were able to get custom milk paint color for me. I wanted some distressing, so the finishing process added several extra steps. Now that cabinets are installed, I am very happy that I stayed committed to using milk paint and was lucky enough to have a cabinet maker who was willing to think outside the box and create a finishing process they had not utilized previously.

That farm was apparently starting to go under until someone decided to try selling milk in glass jugs in a couple of stores. Now they have expanded into home delivery. First with only their products but now they use products from other sources. Not every store carries all of their products. They also make a decent bandaged cheddar cheese called Braley that I recently tried. I think bandaged means wrapped rather than open air cured.

Interesting. I wonder how they will fare against Braums.

It would be dangerous for me if I could have eggnog delivered.

We have local home delivery of milk also. And you can get other locally grown or sourced products - baked goods, cheeses, sausages, eggs and coffees - included with your order as well. Apparently you can even order your Thanksgiving turkey through them!

And yes, they deliver eggnog :-) I'm safe as I detest the stuff!!

I haven't noticed Shatto milk in the Price Chopper or Hyvee that I usually go to. I'll have to look for it next time I'm grocery shopping. But then we don't use much milk. My wife and son are both lacto intolerant. I don't drink it either but we use some in cooking.

We prefer different dairy products from different sources. There are a lot of good ones but some seem to have something they do better than others and some products that aren't as good. Sometimes multiple stores get visited to find what we prefer because not every store carries every brand. I don't know if dairy delivery is available in my area or not but we wouldn't use it if it is.

I have to agree with Elmer as some companies have things in their product line that are simply better or worse than other companies equivalent product. I mostly eat cheese and butter rather than milk. They do deliver a lot of fruits and veggies but I would hesitate with our cold temperatures to order them during the winter. They now have a bandaged cheddar that I like. Most of the rest of their cheeses are for those people who enjoy delicate cheese.

At one time I shopped 5 different stores because of favorites that each had. Alas my favorite store simply closed one day with no notice.

A local dairy sells their milk pasteurized, but not homogenized. It's amazing -- their skim milk tastes as rich as 2%, it has that smooth mouth feel, not at all like the blue water-y skim milk of other brands we've tried over the years. Their chocolate full fat milk is like drinking a milk shake. Supporting local farmers is good, but when it tastes THIS good, I'm fanatic about it :-)
