Fuck it let's make our own milk at this point
I've got nipples, focker
My wife says no cows, because apparently I underestimate the amount of milk a cow makes. I'm gonna have to get used to goat milk
Or just oats?
It is much easier to raise a goat on a small acreage than it is to farm enough oats to extract a worthwhile amount of oat milk.
Also, haven't liked any oat milk I've tried. To be fair I don't like goat milk either, but it is much closer to what I'm used to, and would definitely be easier to get used to
They make mini cows.
How do you think they make those little quarts of milk?
Then how do they make chocolate milk?
Black cows?
There is NextMilk and NotMilk brands., both formulated to be similar to actual milk in texture, and taste. You won't be "Wow, I can't believe it's not milk" But it is surprising close compared to oat, soy, or almond milks
That doesn't exactly help
As in your love of actual cow milk, or the oats takes a lot of farming debate? Not Milk is like pineapple juice cabbage juice and other components that somehow come together to work like milk.
Oats take a lot of space and equipment to farm, and any brand name anything doesn't help; the idea here was self-sufficiency
Ah, I see. Goat milk takes some getting used to. Good luck on the self-sufficiency. We had a half acre before for veggies, and a giant pear tree which made good Perry every year.
I would fucking love a pear tree. I don't really like apples, but pears are delicious, and if there's too many to eat, well...as you suggested, I'd drink them
Pretty easy & cheap. Just need oats, water, a blender, and a screen
And an oat field, and equipment to harvest them
