local dairy means to me a little place where you pull up and they are
making cheese in a side room. They've got the little glass bottles of
cream as thick as mayonnaise. The Mom of this operation gets out a
knife about 2 feet long and cut the chunk you want from whichever kind
of cheese wheel you want. Then, if it is a hard cheese she dips in
into the pot of melted wax before she wraps it in butcher paper.
What we have here is a huge dairy plant that bottles for different
brands, also does juices, probably gets the cottage cheese in from a
distributor already packaged. I haven't seen the Mom and Pop
operation for years. They've all been bought up by the big guys.
