How’s that for a Title!? The Wonderful Wizard of Oz at Briden Farm!
This is one of my favourite Books, the Wizard of Oz Movie was good, and I love to watch it, mouthing the words to nearly every line! Especially those of the Lion 🦁 , “I was born to be a Sissy!” Although today I am not half the Sissy I was when I was growing up! In part, at least, to this Book!
Anyway, the Book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, as originally written is a significant piece of art, literature, and history! The Movie, as good as it is, leaves out some significant parts, uses artistic license to changes others, and should only ever be watched after reading the Book! Yet, if you’ve already watched the Movie, I’d still encourage You to read the Book!
Anyway, I’ve always got a kick out of the Introduction to the Book. especially where it says, “… the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.” By L. Frank Baum, Chicago, April, 1900.
For, that Introduction could be interpreted to mean that the only purpose was to, “please children of today”. Yet, here we are, over 100 years later, still talking about Dorothy! Yes, here at Briden Farm, we are definitely Friends of Dorothy!
So, after having recently been asked to join the Wisdom App Community, which I really enjoy. I’ve discovered it to be a great app, and even better Social Community. The Wisdom Community is very supportive and encouraging and in many ways makes up for what is lacking on other Social Networks! The app allows me to ask questions and get live answers and to answer questions for Others. It also allows me to record and share my Talks, and Podcasts, with option to share directly to my Social Networks or to download it to use on our Briden Farm Podcasting,
So, I’ve begun reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from a coy of the Public Domain Book available on Gutenberg.org. I read it, out loud, on Wisdom, where by the way, You can ask me a question and get a Live Answer! I then download it, and use it on our Briden Farm Podcasting, where You’ll be able to hear it read on Saturday Mornings, or if you want, click on this link and it’s free to read …

You know, it’s bothered me for a long time, long before I ever had the opportunity to sell meat, eggs, or milk, that as a Consumer I couldn’t! Especially when it come to buying raw milk. Yes, I understand the risks, and the (in my opinion) supposed risks.
According to TVO Today, “Of all the G8 countries, Canada is the only one to ban the production for sale, transportation and consumption of raw milk: milk that is unpasteurized.” The question obviously begs as to, “Why?”
Another thing that may make us question, “Why” is why the Consumers and Farmers are org through websites like Real Milk Saskatchewan to be able to buy, and sell, Raw Milk?
Perhaps, it’s because many of us, here, as well as in Saskatchewan grew up drinking Raw Milk. Never having had any problems from Raw Milk! Perhaps that’s why the other G8 Countries have not banned it?
Anyway, do your own research, see the locals where Raw Milk is being sold, and question whether or not it should be sold here?
Here at Briden Farm we raise Goats, we drink Goats Milk, we make cheese, use the whey, make butter, and drink the buttermilk, and have even made yogurt! All from Raw Milk! Unfortunately under current Laws and Regulations we can’t sell it! yes, it frustrates me! It also frustrates would be purchasers!
As the title of this post says,
“What Do You Say To A Mom Who Needs Goat Milk For Her Infant?”
The lady who called this past week was very gracious and understanding but understandably frustrated when I had to tell Her no! Especially after her Doctor had told her that perhaps she should seek it out! Her little one has severe allergies and can’t drink most milk, nor use most formulas like Similac. However, they can use the Blue Similac. However, there seem to be a major shortage of the Blue Similac Formula!
So, what then? Should we as Consumers have the Freedom to buy what we want from whom we want to!? After all, it is a free country! Isn’t it?
After years of thinking, and as a result of that conversation combined with a conversation with a friend, Jimmy, I feel motivated, if not called to do something!
Actually farmers and homesteaders have worked for years to get things like Raw Milk legalized. Actually it only become illegal in Canada in 1991. I think!?
Anyway, little has been accomplished by the would be proponents and I think it’s because the Producers are few in number and don’t have enough clout at the Box Office! Generally speaking the only Box Office that matters to many Political Representatives is the Ballot Box. So, if that is right, and I believe it is, what’s needed is the Consumers voice!
We live in a Free Democratic Country, where the laws and regulations should meet the needs of the people. The people should be free to buy what they want, from whom they want! Things like Farm Fresh Meat, Eggs, and Raw Milk for instance! If You agree, please consider helping me insure …
