How does the farmer collect and store the milk?
The cows are milked by machine. The milk is pumped directly from the cow(s) into clean, gallon-sized glass jars. The date is written on the jar and then the jars are sealed with Stretch-Tite (plastic wrap) and the plastic lids are screwed on tight. The milk is stored in the glass jars in a cooler building where the temperature is maintained at an approximate temperature of 35 – 38 degrees F. year-round, where it remains until the milk is picked up.
