What are some REAL butter brands?

You can't get more real than Organic grass-fed Butter from US Wellness Meats.com
It tastes and smells unbelievable. Comes frozen and it's pricier but you'll see why.

If someone has a dairy farm close to them that grass feeds their beef, then making your own is just as organic if not more organic than ordering from some where.

I am growing to love raw dairy.

I am ALL for making your own food whenever possible and keeping things simple and as natural as possible. However, I am Extremely practical and resourceful. Healthy eating requires a bit more time, planning and organization than eating garbage. If I find a source that I can trust and can delivery that highest quality I expect -- I can easily leave that one to the professionals. No control freak here! I move on and take on something that is perhaps Not as easy to delegate or trust to someone else.

Healthy Organic real butter is pretty easy to come by. Life is to short No?
But hey... to each his own....
Happy Churning!

By the way www.uswellnessmeats.com also carries org. raw cheese and org. raw cashew ice cream... very yummy and healthy too!

Plugra, Keller's, Kerrygold, or even better, buy an Amish butter roll. Sold by the pound at select delis.

Only peripherally on topic, for those who like to keep their butter on the counter, another option is a butter bell.

I have one, and love it. It keeps it fresher longer.

I use land o lakes whipped butter too, just two ingredients ... I like it soft too, but I just measure out what I need a few minutes before I eat and it is soft and spreadable/meltable by the time I need it and only 50 calories vs 100 for regular butter, I guess it is the air from whipping ... although I assume we are really only getting 1/2 tbsp when we use a tbsp, so that is why the calories are cut in half?

They even had a milk and egg truck that would drive by weekly so that you could buy both fresh from the farm.

That would be absolutly amazing.




(Oh, and sorry July24Lioness, I don't have time to make my own butter, grow my own garden, kill my own chickens, make my own soaps and shampoos. I've got you know.. a house to tend, laundry to do, food to cook, 2 kids and a husband to take care of, internets to browse..... did I mention I live in 2010? Hehehehe. ) No time, no time at all.

Okay so sue me for bringing up old stuff, but I have to interject here just because July24 was actually very correct. The truth is, your way of thinking is holding you back more than you could imagine. You can build yourself a self-sustainable home out of recycled materials such as tires, or even sand/dirt bags for practically nothing. This means that you would build in solar panels (probably the most expensive portion of your build), and use rain water that you purify yourself therefore giving you NO utility bills at all. It's simple, very inexpensive, and a completely self-sustainable way of life. These are called Earthbag homes and there are the more expensive ones called Earthships. The Earthbags are being done all over the place. I've only been researching these particular kinds of homes for a couple weeks now, but so far the highest amount I've seen anyone spend on the actual build was $5000.

Me and my husband have been researching this type of living for several years now and this is our ultimate goal. We are buying the land at the beginning of next year and will probably have our home built by the beginning of 2015. And guess what? When we are there in our Earth home, we will have FREE unprocessed foods, FREE medicines, FREE clothing (from plant materials such as hemp), FREE energy, FREE water..... we will live FREE. And any money that we do make (we both work from home), is ours to do whatever with. So let me tell you, you DO have the time to do this, the question is, do you want to invest the time to make your family healthier and more self-sustainable? If you're as loving a mother/wife as I am, your answer should be yes.

Anyway, there's my 2 cents. The way you attacked July24 like that was very rude and rather immature I might add, so I thought I'd point out how much you didn't know and how naive your response was.
