Yeah, I've got one of their printed catalogues. They are
geared towards the Amish and others wanting a more
simple/less technology time. Perhaps even a more "Green"
experience.


Still it remains, ask a kid perhaps even an adult where milk
comes from and you'll probably hear: The Store.

Yeah, but we aren't kids here. We've heard of and probably even *seen*
cows. And chickens. And cornfields. And vegetable gardens. It's up to
the parents to teach kids not everything comes from "the store" or at least
how things get to the store in the first place
