Hi Tom, I see that I'm not the first person who
answered your email, though haven't read the other one
yet so hope this isn't totally redundant... I don't
much look at the Weston Price email list, in fact I'm
not sure how this one came through... but since it has
and since I have some answers for you, I'm glad to
oblige. My thinking is right along the same lines as
yours, though I probably don't follow through as much
as it seems you do. One thing I can offer is that
there is an Amish farmer who provides raw milk
products and has a delivery route which comes through
Baltimore, which is where I am. I know that's pretty
far for you, but it might be worth contacting him for
possible other sources. Or you could probably pick up
if it was worth it to you. I will forward you his
latest email order form and you can contact him
directly. Otherwise, welcome to the network, as loose
as it is, maybe see you at the annual conference in
DC? Julia
