Do you need pride of the farm? The difference in taste is tremendous.
Good, but we get our milk from Wisconsin when we can, which is even better.

What I'm really really drowning in is apples! Anyone have some recipes that don't need peeling? Or maybe does someone own a horse?
I've been dehydrating apples. (and other fruit)
I use a silicon mesh dehydrator sheets spread on my oven racks.
Wash the apple.
Remove the core. (I have a 'corer'.)
Slice, not too thin. ( I slice across, each one has a hole.)
Lay in one layer on the sheet-covered oven racks.
You can sprinkle with cinnamon. Or cinnamon and sugar, but it doesn't need it.
180 -200 degree F depends on your oven.  Also, some parts of the oven may be ready earlier.
Keep the oven open a bit for the humidity to escape.
3-6 hours. Depending on temp, oven, thickness.
You want them slightly moist, especially if they're eaten within a few days of making them.

My dehydrator sheet are something like this. I can't find the exact ones I bought, but I fit 2 sheets on each oven shelf.
My corer is this type  But check out this advancement
But maybe this type would be more efficient if you’re buying for this purpose.

Lol!

It's not a joke, we sat down and tried to look thru all the recipe books for what we can make with milk. So far we got:
Pancakes
Chocolate milk/hot chocolate
potato soup


Neighbors who don't have kids in school getting lunch would probably appreciate your milk.
I have my big yeshiva boys home and am going through milk like I haven't since they were in elementary school.

the bucherim complained that the farmer that sells to tnuva mixes half milf and half water, then tnuva does the same, and then yeshiva mixes half water, only to have some in the coffee and then you need to wait a half hour to eat fleishig
Tzehlim'e Ruv z"l, the Baal Machshir on Kedem was asked once how much water one may add to kedem grape juice. He answered "Whatever water may be added, R' Yona Hertzog added already"..

I’m not so sure about that. They sell 2/3 less calories grape juice, which basically means “2/3 water”. They claim they add no water on the label of the 100% grape juice.

Of course we're using that but doesn't compare to the taste of bottled chocolate milk
I’m pretty sure we figured out the best possible solution :)

It was his style of answering, probably gave the real answer right after.

Not sure this is true. IIRC they use a different type of grape which contains less sugar.

wic? :)

Yup. They didn't bother asking me which cereal I could use. They just bought and dumped it on me.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Possibly the difference between the Glass bottles (pure grape juice) and the plastic bottles (reconstituted).

To be fair, with WIC their options for cereal are limited to a handful.

In NY they just added Taanug. I wish they would add Unger's - the best quality of all the kosher brands (it's Malt-o-Meal special run with a sticker).

They both use Concord grapes, the only difference in ingredients is that the light lists water and the regular doesn't.

They’re also usually the same price.

As I pointed out. Also the non-lite has water added (INGREDIENTS: GRAPE JUICE, JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE...). IINM only the glass bottles have no water whatsoever (and is not Mevushal) which is why I give that one at the Seder to my kids that don't drink wine.
