Ask a child “Where does milk comes from?”; and the two most popular answers will be: “From a cow” or “From the store”. Both could be considered correct. The bigger questions to consider are: “How does it get from the cow to the store and then to your table; and how has that process changed?”. In “From Milkcans to Plastic Jugs – A Tribute to the Dairy Farmer” we will take a trip down memory lane to the horse drawn milk wagon, homemade butter and the milkman delivering milk to your door in glass bottles. We tell stories from 15 homerown dairies, 20 farms that bottled milk, 25 active dairy farms and 40 farms from the past. We will look at the history of the dairy companies and events that took place in 1934, 1957, 1967, 1985 and 1995 that affected the entire industry. The 122 scrapbook style pages of this volume contains lots of color pictures and features over 80 dairy farms and barns from the authors rural countryside of Clearfield and Jefferson Counties in Western Pennsylvania.
