Default "Local" milk?

Where's the best place to get local-ish milk for cheese-making? Obviously there are no dairy farms in Vegas, but I assume there are some relatively close in CA that must distribute to some place in Vegas...?

Be careful a study has shown that the alcohol content of local milk (from farms near Las Vegas) is much higher then other places.

Here is a photo uncovered from a local farm near trump plaza.

Dairy Cows in Nevada
There are approximately 40 dairy farms in Nevada raising 27,500 cows. They range in size from 150 to 5000
animals per dairy. Most of the dairies are in the northwest part of Nevada near Reno, but the largest dairies are in
southern Nevada. Nevada dairy cows produce nearly 500 million pounds of milk per year, or approximately 58
million gallons. Most of the dairy cows in Nevada are Holsteins (black and white); however, there are several
dairies which have Jerseys (smaller and fawn-colored).

Dairy Council of Nevada/Utah
Reno office: Libby Gant (775) 674-4015
Las Vegas: Barbara Paulsen, (702) 315-0520, fax (702)315-0521
(“From Moo To You” Video and variety of dairy and general nutritional material)


Closest dairy on the NV Dairy Council list is in Pahrump. I would have thought there'd be at least one in Moapa Valley, but even Moapa Dairy appears to be in Amargosa Valley according to the Nevada Dairy Commission site. Unless it's a typo: Nevada State Dairy Commission (http://dairy.state.nv.us/Dairies_Active.asp - broken link)

BTW: I haven't bought any for a long time, but we have always been able to get fresh goats milk from goat farms in Las Vegas. The ones I've seen are mainly in the NW part of town.

Yes, they have a nice tour. I've been for my children's school field trips, great show and they give out free ice cream!
