There was an article in the Los Angeles Times recently about a local woman's project to save cows from slaughterhouses, make them healthy again, and use their manure to create biodynamic fertilizer that will be sold in bags for avid gardeners.
What a great idea.
The dairy farm involved in the project is Organic Pastures, which I mentioned in my post on butter. This dairy takes its milking machines out to the pastures to milk the cows. I am sure this is much less stressful on the cows than being herded to the barn twice a day. And the cows are outside eating grass, not inside eating grain like most dairy cows. You can buy their raw milk products at the Hollywood Farmers Market and Granny's Pantry in Pasadena (Arroyo at California).
And be on the lookout for Bu's Blend Biodynamic Compost, produced from the poop of happy cows.
