I purchased a Soy Milk maker and it arrived yesterday. The box containing the soy milk maker also contained the label - no box in a box packaging. So that pleased me. The main reason I purchased it was to eliminate the trash in the form of soy milk containers, but it will also wind up saving us money in the long run.
I first heard about this particular brand via Pat Meadows’ blog over the summer. I decided to think about it before buying it. I’ve made soy milk using a blender and a stainless steel strainer, but as Meadows says, “the process was a pain in the tail.”
I made my first batch of soy milk using the new device yesterday and had it with coffee today and it was very good. The soy beans I purchased were non GMO ones from Chambers Farms. There is one vendor at the Headhouse farmer’s market who does sell them. But since I am too nervous to talk to my food vendors, I don’t. I just hope he grew it using sustainable methods and organically. I think I will get them this weekend. That way I can make soy milk using local ingredients.
This post reads really terrible. Not sure why.






I’ve been thinking of visiting a farmer’s market for my shopping, but I’d have to admit, I’d be too nervous to ask a food vendor whether he used sustainable methods as well.

One of the reasons for my nervousness is because I am afraid I will be lied to and then I will be very sad. Also my tone with strangers comes across as rude and unfriendly, so a simple question could come across as accusatory. One day I will be brave.
