The Other Me

These are popping all over Italy (and some areas of France too, I am reliably told):

A Milk-O-Mat!
Insert 1 euro and a plastic bottle, get one litre of full milk, fresh from the cows!
Very hygienic, the distribution area is automatically rinsed after each filling. You can also buy empty clean bottle for 20 eurocents.
Officially, the milk needs to be boiled before consumption, although the farmer who I talked with yesterday told me that for adults this wasn't really needed (he being from a generation when people didn't really care about drinking the milk almost straight from the cows).

This one is close to my house and is the "store" front of an actual farm, so you can imagine pipes going from the back of the shed directly into the barn, although - having witnessed the changing of the thermal vats yesterday morning - it is not that exotic.
But that allows for such contraptions to show up even in the cities, as long as a farm is not too far away to replace the empty churns.

My farm has a cheese shop too, so you can be sure that I shall visit often.
The milk is rich and creamy and while I do not drink it myself, I am told it is excellent. It is wonderful for cooking, mind.
