WEll, speaking of milk, my favorite feel-good business is the Happy Cow Creamery (http://www.happycowcreamery.com/), where the small herd of cows is rotated from pasture to pasture, the milk is not homogenized, the cheese is traditional and delicious and reasonably priced. I go there with children of friends, and the cows come up to get milked and let the kids pet them. They truly are happy cows! and the milk is delicious. I'll buy that any day of the year. And my other favorite is the store that sells the milk in my town, Rosewood Market (http://www.rosewoodmarket.com/), is one of those incredible places that has great products and serves as a community center, treating its employees well and still offering wonderful service to customers--natural foods, herbs, well-cooked meals, etc. They've survived almost 40 years in spite of the competition of a major supermarket across the street and a big "natural" foods chain a few blocks away, because Rosewood does business the way it should be done. And the owner's name is Basil, appropriately. (Note: these are in South Carolina where you probably don't have any readers, but just letting people know that what great businesses they are).
