Is anyone doing cow shares?
Does anyone know of anyone doing cow shares?
I'm finally in a position to offer cow shares and REAL milk this
season but I don't have a good sense on how to procede with this
program. (And many of the ones I see on the web seem just too
expensive!)

If it has a higher state of energy from being grown biodynamically it would be safe to assume that it would burn more efficiently.

The best book I know of on this subject is from The Fryer To The Fuel
Tank by Joshua Tickle. The most efficient producer of oil that could be
used as biodiesel is actually Algae. It takes the Suns energy directly
and converts it to oil (in the process eating carbon dioxide) and it

Allan, did you read the Sally Fallon article in the late Summer/Autumn 2002
edition of Biodynamics? About the Canadian situation re raw milk. That talked
about cow shares, first time I had heard of the concept.

The law in New Hampshire is that a farmer can sell raw milk as long as the
customer provides the bottle. A sensible law if I ever saw one.
We are lucky to have a dairy herd at our CSA and the availability of raw
milk is one of the reasons we have a 12-month a year operation and a 98%
retention
According to a motoring programme on TV here, one can use used vegetable
oil, strained of course, to run diesel cars without any alterations to the
engine. You just need to add 3 % non kerosene based white spirit
(turpentine), and let it sit for one week before using it. McDonalds and Co.

Hi,
I recently joined and am feeling a little overwhelmed
by the amount of email, on and off topic. I seemed to
have deleted the welcome letter with instructions so I
would appreciate someone kindly letting me know how to

Fryer to the Fuel tank IS great! I hope to use recycled restaurant oil for
our composing facility (Tractor).. this season? Never seems to be enough time
for some projects.
Seems I remember a section about efficiency of oil plants. Soy is one of
the lowest, but still gets the attention here
Allan, this happened again recently? I thought this happened last year as
well? Who's after these folks? Why aren't they going after the real
poisoners, the chemical dairy folks?

Does anyone know a ready source for plastic reuseable caps for glass

I think that you are incorrect, my believe is that you can sell 5 gal of raw
milk per day in NH.
And if you are correct I be very happy. ?! Also I have never heard abut the
customer providing the milk bottle.
(Please note that my statements are based on information from last year!)

final consumer is not prohibited. Producers who
When I asked our State Health Inspector he admitted if someone
brought their own clean containers I could sell milk and it 'probably'
would be ok. He said it wouldn't be legal in Texas, but it was one of
those 'iffy things' no one was going to come out and deal with it.
However, I weighed the

Allan,

Zeinggers (sp?) in East Troy WI
There are reputed to be the oldest Biodynamic Farm in the US.
Their folks were personally at the RS Ag lecture or so the story goes.

The story is familiar that when Harry Truman and Tom Dewey faced off in the
1948 presidential elections, Dewey went to bed convinced he was the next
president of the United States. But
when he awoke, he learned that Harry Truman had won.What may not be as
well known is that Dewey said to his

Hi Merla,
I am not an 'experienced BD person', more of a fellow traveller I suppose.
In your place I would consult with my local certification body and follow
their lead in terms of compost tea.
