Cooperstown Farmers’ Market
Again Offers Fresh, Local Milk
COOPERSTOWN – The Byler family’s Mountain View Dairy Farm, Richfield Springs, has just expanded to include production of pasteurized bottled milk for the Cooperstown Farmers' Market, beginning last Saturday.
“It’s brilliant for our customers and the market, for sure,” said Lyn Weir, market manager, “our thanks to the Byler family for making it all possible!”
Bottled by the half gallon, the new product is called creamline milk. It is pasteurized whole milk that is not homogenized, so the cream collects at the top of the jug. A quick shake blends it back together, or it may be poured off the top into a small pitcher for coffee or other uses.
The Amish family’s herd is predominately Lineback cows, producing approximately 9,000 pounds of milk per cow per year.
