01
The bottle
Returnable glass half-gallons. Rinse it, leave the cap off, and bring it home to us.
Russell Springs, Kentucky
Calder Dairy
Cream on top. Bottle comes home.
Low-temp pasteurized milk in returnable glass, bottled on the farm west of town.
Nothing hidden
You can see what matters.
The bottle sweats. The cream rises. The cows go out when the Kentucky ground allows.
02
The cooler
A screen door, a cold case, and the week’s run. May keeps the cooler and the books.
03
The pasture
About 45 Jerseys and Jersey-cross on the home farm, out on grass when the ground allows.
In the cold case
Bottles worth returning.
Whole
Cream line. The house bottle.
Chocolate
Real cocoa, not syrup water.
Heavy cream
Pint glass. Coffee and biscuits.
Small runs
Strawberry, yogurt, and eggnog.
“Drove up from the lake house Saturday for the chocolate. Kids fought over the cream line.”Cabin week, Jamestown
