And I get so angry about how all the food that has been adulterated. I grow organic fruits and vegetables, and make all my own things. I sell my organic produce and at the same time I educate the community about harmful doctoring of foods that they eat and drink. And to my amazement, most of them had no clue at all about what is being put in the foods they buy at the store. Which in turns has lead them to start eating healthier, and they in return have become like family. Now they are the ones who go out and tell others about eating organic and buy local from organic farmers. I believe we need to stick together, because that in my book is what god created the food for. To be natural and true. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.

Considering that bowl is a 2 qt bowl and is full of cream cheese and you normally buy it in 8 0z pck I still think it's a pretty good deal. Nevertheless, I still would use raw milk.

Our food system is screwed up for sure!<br /><br />I've had a family milk cow, a Guernsey, for six months now and love having our own delicious milk, butter, and yogurt. I haven't ventured too far into cheese making because I lack the supplies, but someday I hope to.

The costs of the cream alone would be around $12.50, and the milk would be $1. Add to that the price of rennet and buttermilk culture (which I doubt would be much, but I don't know.) How much cream cheese does this recipe make? Because I can get 2 1/2 pounds for $8 at Sam's. Now, if I had a cow or bought raw milk, then it would be worth it, but not with commercial milk.

They are very low maintenance and provide fresh eggs and fertilizer for the garden as well as some bug control if they are able to forage around a bit.
