Dairy Delivery

"You can get dairy products delivered to your door from a local dairy farm. The website is www.calderdairy.com. Calder Dairy is local (the farm is about 40 minutes southeast of AA) with cows that are pastured. They do not use bovine growth hormone. The delivery only costs $1.25/week, and their dairy products are much cheaper than store-bought hormone-free products. They have an extensive list of products that includes cider, eggs, ice cream, cottage cheese....we just received our first delivery yesterday, and it was very exciting. It's a great opportunity to buy local, healthy products."
