I've received in the mail a letter from one of our local stores that they will no longer be selling Crystal Milk*. Appears the company has sold out to Foster Farms and they do not want to sell Foster Farms milk. Now I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but was wondering if anyone knows anything about Foster Farms or has any idea where I can go to investigate myself?

*Crystal Milk was a family owned dairy in the Sacramento, CA. area and has now sold. They were not organic but were growth hormone free etc...

They are a big company who are proudly feeding their milk cows corn, oats and wheat. That means their cows are likely infected with E.coli, which in turn means their cattle are probably being fed a steady diet of antibiotics. Of course, their products by law must be pasturized, so that kills the contamination in the milk products. It will not, however, kill the E. coli contamination in their cows' manure.
