I recently bought milk from Twin Brook Creamery at Top Foods in Oly. www.twinbrookcreamery.com Honestly, it was the packaging that got me. Milk in a thick glass bottle like once upon a time? Oh my word I was sold. We usually do the organic route, but I needed milk and the bottles were too irresistible. I later read a bit on this family farm and their venture was inspiring. The milk tastes differently too, it is given from Jersey cows, some of the cutest cows ever in my humble opinion. Look at those adorable faces! Anyway, I think it's important to note that by tasting different I mean different as in more delicious. I am not certain where to return the bottle and receive my deposit back (probably the store where I purchased it?), but I think I will forgo the few bucks and keep the glass jugs. I've been using them for cold water in the fridge and they make me nostalgic for things I don't have memories for, as I don't recall my family ever buying glass jar milk. And yet, there's a pull towards them.
As a side note, on the issue of different, I would rather be different than ordinary, wouldn't you? I recall when I worked as a nanny I told the youngest she was unique. She did not like this. She said by unique you mean different Robin and different is weird. I explained that being ordinary was far less fun and it really was a compliment. She was 8 or 9 at the time, and had a hard time understanding. Hopefully my actions and other choice of words showed how much I loved and admired the one-of-a-kind kid she was. After all, my eldest was named after her.
