If we're looking at WEB sites, coincidentally I ran across one with
lots of possibilities about sharing farm resources. *Take a look at

Seems to be a communal concept that could also work for an
entrepreneur. *Here's a newsy example.

Liquid Gold from the Valley
MARCH 17, 2008 - 9:37 PM

In support of the legalize “raw milk” House Bill 367 on the table in
the Alaska Legislature, I thought I should talk about cow and goat
share programs that provide yummy raw milk and cream to share holders.
In a share program you become a member of a dairy, buy a portion of
the cow or goat, and then pay for the care and feeding of the animal
with your share. It’s like a CSA but with dairy rather than
vegetables. In return your membership/share entitles you to the
animal’s products, in the case of a cow or goat that means fresh milk!
Our family has been a member of a Mat-Su Valley cow share for the past
two years and we love it. It’s really great to get to know a dairy
farmer and lots of fun experimenting making fresh butter, ricotta, and
mozzarella cheeses, and to be reintroduced to real milk. For the
longest time I just thought “I don’t like milk.” But now we call it
liquid gold and thoroughly appreciate fresh milk.

Thank YOU for having the manners to apologize. It's a rare thing in
cyberspace. I for one appreciate it.

I know cross-posting is resented by most, and my accidental post does
seem to be that.

To make the best of it, possibly we could recommend some interesting
foods that go well with favorite teas. For me, an automatic choice is
rice, but on searching for "favorite tea food," I find suggestions for
1) traditional Chinese tea food (none), tea party food (bite sized
sandwiches), and 3) tea cakes (buttery tea cake, Russian tea cake,
etc.).

The traditional Chinese tea food idea is apparently none, because

Some types of tea, including certain black ones
and the green teas of Japan, can enhance—and be enhanced
by—food. Most fine Chinese teas, though, seem better when
savored on their own. This is not to say that tea isn't served with
meals in China; it certainly is, and is greatly appreciated as a
mealtime beverage. But tea made from the highest-grade leaves
is so delicate in flavor that its nuances might be overwhelmed by
food. Indeed, the non-Asian tea-room set would be surprised to
learn that sweets are considered to be particularly inappropriate
with fine tea—because they tend to block out the teas' natural
sweetness, which is one of their most appreciated qualities.
