Really interesting article on a dairy farm going to glass bottles
Glass bottles aren't the only change in their business model, but for a farmers market that's the most interesting part, since we look for sustainability as well as local production. We probably all know by now that we will need to make many changes in the way we get our food over the next decades, so keeping an eye out for new ideas, and old ideas coming back as well, is part of our mission.
