Raw milk farm, students 'experiencing' homelessness

In this week's Southern Berks News we ran a story about a raw milk farm in Douglassville.

I think I have passed signs for the farm, but didn't think about a story until writer Jennifer Hetrick told me about it. It's not that I thought it was unimportant but it's hard to write about everything you come across.

Hetrick did a great job with the story. She's very interested in the health features and I always learn a lot from her research. From reading the story, I found that the farmer's customers that were lactose intolerant could drink the milk and not feel sick.

I also loved the pictures of the farm that Hetrick sent!

Also, Carole Duran wrote about "Shack-a-thon," an annual event where chuch youth camps out in Main Bird Park in cardboard boxes to experience what homeless people have to go through. The kids also prepare a meal for people in need. I think this is a great activity for young people.
