More dairy farmers going organicPosted Jun 19th 2006 5:29PM by Bob SassoneFiled under: Science, Farming, Business, Organic, Trends, Newspapers, Stores & ShoppingFarmers that were about to see their business go under have found a little salvation, thanks to organic milk.Several farmers, like the ones profiled in this Boston Globe story about Vermont farmers, have switched to organic, and many are able to pay their bills or make a profit for the first time in decades. One man, Peter Decker, actually sold his auto body shop in Florida and, with half a mil, started his own organic dairy farm in Barton, Vermont.I've never tried organic milk. I don't drink whole milk anymore, and any milk that I have is either 1% or skim. How does it taste?
