We had a lovely time visiting the farm and farmers and meeting the Ladies. They are Brown Swiss and some were quite beautiful with distinctive hair styles. The farm dogs were dalmatians, and there were a couple of rescued feral kitties with their ears clipped (to show they've been neutered). And chickens and sheep and geese and ducks, both domestic and volunteer.
We are used to stringent recycling from when we lived in the Seattle area. Here we couldn't even pay to get yard recycle pick up in our neighborhood. Again, what we are used to is mandatory recycling and not used to having separate trash and recycle companies/pick ups. Most of our neighbors just toss stuff back into the ravine but we take ours to a recycle center, is not bad and pretty easy big brown paper (recyclable) bags just for this purpose are easily available at Costco and home stores . Anyway, the next place down the road from the dairy is his brother who owns the recycle.
