When I came back to LA and bought my regular organic milk from Trader Joe's, I could definitely taste the difference. And I hated putting the container in the trash; it seemed so wasteful.
In search for where I could buy milk in glass bottles again, I googled "milk in glass bottles." Lo and behold, I found that there is a dairy right in Montebello (just one city south) that sells milk in glass bottles. And based on the positive reviews on Yelp, I was eager to try it out.
I finally went this morning, and drank a wonderful cold glass of milk when I got home. It tasted so good — creamy and smooth, even though I got the nonfat. Maybe I'm just a milk snob, but if I can get good-tasting milk in reusable glass bottles without going very far from home, I'm all for it.
I highly recommend this local dairy's milk. And based on the reviews, their chocolate milk, eggs and seasonal eggnog are a big hit too. (Please note that they don't say "organic" on their products because it requires special fees and licensing for them to get it. It's a small operation, so they don't bother.)

And their tagline is so cute:
"Milk so Fresh... the Cow Doesn't Know It's Missing"

Yup, we're definitely going then!
That sounds so good! I've only drank with or used non-fat milk as long as I can remember. Except that one stint one summer where I drank Vitamin D milk for a week while I was staying at a cousin's house. Not just drink one glass, but multiple glasses. For some reason, I craved it for just that one week.
Anyway, when people say non-fat tastes like water - I always thought they were over exaggerating. But I guess if people are not used to it, I can see why they think so.
I liked that we could just drive up and get the milk, no need to park or stop the air conditioning. :D I also like that it says, "Save water, Drink milk" on the side of the bottle caddy.
Bristol Farm (So. Pasadena) has it.
It's more expensive at Bistol Farms and at Gelson's. When I purchase from the dairy, there is no middleman.
