Thanks. I saw the map earlier and Tauranga isn't on it. The closest is 45+ minutes away for goat, which isn't what I want, or further away and over the hill.

Ask on the facebook page or find your local chapter leader for the Weston Price Foundation.
Does anybody know of a supplier of raw unpasteurised milk (often labeled as 'pet milk') in the bay of plenty (close to Tauranga), with a reasonable price! The only one i have heard of is about $8 a bottle, and that's just totally unrealistic for my budget. I have heard some farmers sell it straight off their farms but don't know how to find out if any local farmers do this. Thanks!

Ask a cheesemaker. Maybe at a farmers market.

I think Cambrian Meats (they are an organic butcher) down Birch Ave in Tauranga sell it. A quick phone call would confirm this.

I called them and they charge $7.50 for a 2 litre bottle, that's out of budget for me :(

I have emailed a few people I found through links on there, hopefully I canfind someone local. I'm going to try and go down to theTauranga farmers market tomorrow and ask the cheese people there if they can help me. Thanks for your help!

You're welcome.That is quite expensive.$2.50-3.00 a litre is more realistic.You could just go ask any dairy farmer but you never know what the quality of the milk is.Buying from an organic farmer or someone who has a few house cows and looks after the cows well is the ideal.

Maybe put a wanted notice in the oropi news (headquarters is the oropi service station) as I know there is someone up there that sells it 'at the gate' but I don't know where exactly.

Saw your request on facebook today.Sure hope you have some luck.The other thing you could do is ask in the farming thread.Seen a few people do that.Like the ideaof advertising in the local paper too.

Our neighbours have got us into a co-op, $1 per litre - have to travel 50kms to get it though :)

The quality of any milk from a dairy farmer that is suppling a factory has to be good. Chances are that they drink it themselves (why would they pay for it from a supermarket!) You could try knocking on the door of any dairy farm that has a Fontera metal flag out the front - or what ever the equivalint is where you live.

Does anybody know of an application that I can download - I am wantinga blank recipe book so that I can add word document recipes to it - like an old fashioned blank recipe book that you write the recipes in by hand under different sections. Thanks

Wow thats expensive. What have they done to it to warrant the expense! its more expensive than the stuff thats been to the factory! I'mlucky, i work on a dairy farm during the busy season, Aug-Dec. (calving&mating) and I get mine for free outa the vat. So does the boss & the 2ic's wife.
