Unless I am touring Holmes County, Ohio, I don't give much thought to milk. It comes from the grocery store, and it comes in several varieties. I've decided that skim milk is the best for me, but no self respecting Amish farmer would have anything to do with that. They drink whole milk, and they milk the cows by hand. They don't use vast herds and sanitary machines. That's why the government regulations require that Amish whole milk be used only for the production of cheese and cheese products. I have wondered, though. If I drove down this lane and asked for a glass of whole milk, would I get some? Would I like it? On both counts, probably not.Labels: Amish, Amish Country, Amish Culture, Amish Photographs, Amish-Country Mysteries, Holmes County, P. L. Gaus, P.L. Gaus, PL Gaus
