If you like the idea of drinking milk from local cows and and were saddened by the disappearance of newcomer Manchester Farms from Giant Eagle Market District shelves when the organic Avella dairy went out of business earlier this year, take heart.

The milk is pasteurized at low heat to preserve flavor.
