Ronnybrook Farms at Chelsea Market

Ronnybrook Farm has a store at Chelsea Market. I stopped by on Saturday and ordered a yummy ginger creme brulee ice cream cone. The store is decorated with old milk crates and has a dine-in counter that serves what looks to be great brunch selections on top of their dairy products. If you've never had thier products, go try it. I don't like milk at all but their chocolate milk is heavenly! I have to try their butter, although I have to say that I recently found Icelandic butter at wholefoods and it's been great to me. I no longer have to live without! Here's a little something from their website on "Why Ronnybrook milk is better":

It's old-fashioned whole milk. The way the cow delivers it. All our milk is pasteurized to kill off any bacteria, but our whole milk is not homogenized, allowing the cream to rise to the top. That's why we call it CreamlineTM. You can spoon the cream off for your coffee and be left with natural skim milk or shake it up for creamy whole milk. Non-homogenized milk is simply better tasting.

Non-homogenized milk is also pasteurized at lower temperatures. Ultra-pasteurization, which involves the heating of milk at high temperatures, destroys vital vitamins and enzymes such as galactase (which aids in the absorption of calcium) and lipase (which causes milk fat to self destruct after the body absorbs its fat-soluble nutrients). Ultra-pasteurized milk is simply less nutritious than regular pasteurized milk.

I have to say though that the service wasn't so happening.
