Is always the answer.
If there was a mom & pop creamery in my town I would be there everyday. If there was a small dairy I would likewise be a loyal customer.
The hormone issue, the Holstein genetic bottleneck . . . industrial ag WILL fail and peaceful free traders will be there to pick up the pieces / profit / keep 300,000,000 Americans fed.
Shameless plug:
I wrote a piece this week (Phenotypic Plasticity) about individuals competing with corportist socialism BS in ag and related industry. Check it out at rejectsociety.com

Thanks, I'm bringing up your article now. :)
I live in a fairly rural area...OK, really rural if you're from New York City or LA. Anyway, in the immediate area I have access to a lot of home-grown stuff, though most people around here aren't really hard-core with their "organic" requirements.
I get fresh eggs, fresh butchery, and so forth. Our local grocery store also carries unfiltered/unprocessed honey from Colorado, organic and somewhat locally brewed apple cider vinegar, and more. I make my own bread and usually use wheat from the area, since that's big business here. All of the above-mentioned things are within walking distance of our house.
Now that I'm home all the time and not on the road anymore, I've put together a compost heap and will be gardening starting sometime today (have the dirt, just have to build the raised beds). We have a small lawn and I'm considering getting a pygmy goat to mow it. :)
More people need to live this way. Cities suck.

According to the latest issue of Mother Earth News, Monsanto's cow hormones (under US Patent and the only large-scale production hormone) is being used by about 30% of America's dairies already. It only took them ten years of aggressive marketing to grab that much of the market! Dairy farmers, especially corporate farms, have little reason to care about the physical side-effects of the hormones on their cattle, since most large dairies don't keep their cows in "production" longer than 3-4 years. These hormones can raise their milk production by 15%, which is a huge gain for the dairy.
These hormones also raise the rates of hoof disease, udder infections, gastro-intestinal problems, etc., etc., etc. Not to mention what they might be doing to us when we get them via the milk...
Funny how the USA is pretty much the only first-world nation that allows the use of these hormones...
