We’ll be able to buy local milk soon! Real 100–mile local milk, not the semi–local milk from Oberweis Dairy! Woot!
Lindsay Record of the Illinois Stewardship Alliance posted to the Springfield Food Not Lawns mailing list today, saying that Kilgus Farmstead in Fairbury, IL now has a milk processing plant! They’re having a “grand opening” on Saturday. Their milk is pasteurized, but non-homogenized, from pasture-raised Jersey cows free of growth hormones and antibiotics.
The bad news is that Fairbury is nearly 100 miles from Springfield.
The good news is that Robert’s Seafood Market will be carrying their milk! They’ll be getting shipments every Tuesday and Friday, at least initially. I know where I’m going on Tuesday!
Here’s an article with more information about Kilgus Farmstead milk. (They might eventually be selling ice cream! Yum!)
And if you feel like attending their grand opening, here are the details provided by Lindsay Record:
