Looking for fresh cow's milk (near Athens, TX)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Is there anyone around Athens or Gun Barrel Texas that sells fresh cow's milk? I'm not even sure it is legal to sell fresh milk here, but I would sure like to have some to make fresh butter. Thanks

My wife and I have two Jersey cows and, of course, milk them everyday. Selling milk to people for their own use in Arkansas is illegal, which I'm sure applies to TX as well. If you find a small farmer, who milks just a few cows, you could approach them about it. The best source to find some in your area is the local feed dealer. You could always buy your own milk cow. It will not only give you wonderful fresh milk but will surely keep you close to home!
