I love a little milk in my coffee in the morning, yogurt for breakfast and occasionally I like to buy a good cheese. I buy cheese from Spring Hill Cheese Company at the Sunday Santa Monica Farmer's market and Straus Family Creamery milk and yogurt from Whole Foods. I had researched Straus and it looked like a company that valued it's cows and the quality, as opposed to quantity, of milk and yogurt it produced. But the other day I decided to do a little more research and in doing so came across the site Cornucopia (which helps promote small scale farming), where I found a great score card of tons of different dairies. It turns out Straus rates a little lower on their scale than I would have thought. Now I have a few new dairies to try out. I found it really helpful in getting a better sense of the farms I'm considering buying dairy from.
Enjoy!
About Me
- jkell
- Because I've become a little obsessed, I wanted to create a place where I could compile all of the information I come across in my daily pursuit of finding the most sustainable, organic and ethical products out there. The business of being green is booming right now and it's hard to navigate through the marketing and brand manipulation to discover the true company and it's intentions behind the product.My goal is to speak through my dollar and use my money to support only the products I agree with whenever possible. I am constantly reviewing & researching producers of fashion & accessories, health & beauty products, and food to make the best and most informed choices for myself. I am excited to share everything I find here for like-minded people. I know how helpful it is when I am looking for information on a company, farm or product and come across someone who has already done the research for me!
