"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

Oats take a lot of space and equipment to farm, and any brand name anything doesn't help; the idea here was self-sufficiency

Ah, I see. Goat milk takes some getting used to. Good luck on the self-sufficiency. We had a half acre before for veggies, and a giant pear tree which made good Perry every year.

I would fucking love a pear tree. I don't really like apples, but pears are delicious, and if there's too many to eat, well...as you suggested, I'd drink them
