In fairness though to the 'cream on the top' question,
Our problem is we are letting the retailers answer our questions for us - or more worryingly, through their marketing and PR, they are not allowing the consumer to even ask the questions.
The more people are encouraged to use these micro dairies and independent producers then the better it will be for the whole industry.
In fairness though to the'cream on the top' question; it's not so daft really. There's no such thing as a daft question, one person asks it and at least 10 are thinking it.^this. One local dairy farm has been making & retailing ice cream for a while, and has an 'ice cream parlour' in the farm yard. He tells the story of how one customer was shocked to learn that ice cream came from cows. He took her to see the very cows, just across the yard, in the milking parlour. She was horrified when she saw the size of their udders and wanted to know why they weren't given bras to offer support.
I do my bit in educating the general public when I can (we have busy footpaths through), but I know I couldn't deal with her type every day.
