Dick,
There are certainly lots of people here in the US starting Cow Share
programs to market milk right off the farm. There have been battles with
boards of health but of the ones I know they are still operating. In
fact Indiana BOAH is now structuring a plan to allow cowshare programs.
While not perfect it's a start and we can build from there.

Pete, You've just reproduced, virtually word for word, a 'lecture' I
recently got from 32 yrold daughter! 'Dad, no one on this planet gets to
enjoy milk as good as what you produce here. Why don't you market it
privately?' Scarey challenge, Pete--I have no idea how to do it, and I'd
have to do an embarassing 'about-face' on my honest beliefs about the
best tactic to produce financial profitability in dairy farming. Dick
