Question about Organic Creamline Milk

edited May 2015 in All Encompassing Trip
I know there's a few people on here who do the whole clean living thing and some who know their way around farm animals, so I'm hoping I can get some advice.

Yesterday on my way home I stopped by the farmers market and picked up a little thing of milk. This was done 1000% out of laziness because I was passing by the farmers market. The store was a block in the other direction and therefore out of my way. I opened the milk and there's chunks in the top. Now I've always held the assumption that chunky milk is not okay. It doesn't smell bad though. And so I googled it and there seems to be mention on forums and thekitchn that there's supposed to be chunks in raw milk because it's cream or something. I don't know. I bought organic milk in the supermarket once by accident but it's not the same. This is from a straight up farm upstate somewhere. So I don't know what to do here. It doesn't smell bad, I don't know what to do with it or about it and I'm hoping someone has experience in this and can help me out.

I couldn't take it back to the stall cuz they were packing up to leave when I bought it. By the time i opened the milk it was like an hour later.

The label says Creamline Grade A Pasteurized rBST Free

    I'm thinking that it is the cream on the top of the milk and not so much chunks on a standard badness kind of thing. However, Rob/imalive could probably give you more advice on chunky milk. Dude eats yogurt 14 months out of date and lives to tell the tale.

    Farmer's market milk is a different beast altogether. E-mail the farm to ask?

    the first thing I thought of was finding their website. They have a FB and the email address listed is a yahoo address. There's a bunch of pictures of kids and stuff and the page is pretty active but I've decided I don't want to reach out to them cuz i'll come off as an idiot street rat which they will probably look down on. like 'look at this idiot buying milk she doesn't know what to do with. See what happens when you live in a city instead of the suburbs?! you get stupid.' I don't wanna.

    Then PM me the information. I'll ask for you. PM the information and exactly what you want me to ask. I'll email and send it back to you. I can look like I fell off the turnip truck here in Ohio.

    If that were their response they would be pretty poor sales people. I would think/hope they are trying to open up their market and thus would be happy to answer any questions and provide any info the customer wants, particularly in a situation where the customer may be turned off ever buying their product again.

    I don't personally know if the milk is good or not. I've never bought anything like that, and probably wouldn't, since I don't like milk. Let us know whatever you find out.

    I agree with oftenreading: if they are trying to expand their market, they should welcome questions. If they are condescending, then they can go f*ck themselves. (The last part is my opinion, not to be confused with oftenreading's.)

    From the look and the colour I would say that it is just excess milk fat(aka: cream). if it makes you feel better though wait to hear from deadendp with their response. It is probably a common question from folks used to buying milk in the store.

    ^^ That was their response? Seems reasonable and kind of what I thought if that were the case. Drink up! My coworker eats the top stuff, then drinks the rest. I don't drink milk unless you flavor it with a ton of Ovaltine. I've never liked milk, even when I was a baby. Mom started giving me cream of wheat at 6 weeks because I wouldn't eat.

    that's the short version. I've pulled the soap box out of their response.

    I can get on board with that opinion.

    I was gonna ask if it was whole milk...chunks would be milkfat.
