Noah's and the Big Carrot are the big ones to check out.

I buy Ewenity sheep yogurt there amongst other things. Never looked for the milk. Open every day until at least 6pm. 416-920-3777 Thu Aug 09 11:45:53 -0700 2007 2823147 12072 Googs 1 4334242 I found sheeps milk at Ambrosia in North York. I bought a small amount just to try just out of curiosity. I really expected not to like it. Wow was I wrong it is absolutely delicious. I am quite shocked actually. The only drawback is it is really quite expensive. A small container ??300 mls was $3.99. The other drawback I suppose is it is 6% milk fat. Probably explains why it is sooooo good.

I have to go to Ewenity every time I'm at the SL Farmers' Market. Just can't resist. Sat Jan 17 08:15:52 -0800 2009 4334242 12072 Googs 3 4334456 What is the SL farmers market?

The ewes produce milk for spring lambs, and they dry up during the summer. Goats and cows can produce all year long, although I think they may be given some extra hormones for this purpose. Check with your supplier. Since sheep's milk only arrives early in the year, it is more suitable to produce cheese and yogurt, with extended shelf life. Sheep's milk is fairly expensive to produce (specialized milking equipment, and animals that need more protection from predators than cows), so cheese is a natural product to aim for, as it gets a good price.
