A dairy farmer in Pennsylvania will not dump his milk; instead, he will bottle it. It’s gone in hours.
At a cream-line dairy farm that is 300 years old, the spirit of America lives on as the farmer works hard to bottle his own milk even though his processor told him to throw it away.
People are waiting in line to help him. When Ben Brown found out that his dairy processor could no longer buy his milk, he started putting it in bottles himself.
Brown’s Whoa Nellie Dairy Farm has been making high-quality milk with a cream line since the 1700s. Most of it used to be bought from him by a dairy processor, who pasteurized and bottled it to send to nearby restaurants and stores. He still sells some of it at the farm shop that is right there.
He couldn’t stand it when he found out that he would have to throw away hundreds of gallons of milk every week until all of his 70 cows stopped giving milk. Because of this, he started working nonstop to bottle it and pasteurize it in small amounts in his 30-gallon vat.
A lot of people responded when he wrote on Facebook that the farm store would be open longer hours so that people could buy milk straight from the source. The local news said there was at least a twenty-person line.
