piima dairy culture in Seattle or SW Washington

hey gang.  I got this dairy culture a couple years ago and I'm really happy with it.  I've seen it described as a cultured buttermilk, but it seems a lot closer to yogurt to me.  it cultures at room temperatures (our kitchen has been as cold as 58 degrees and as warm as 100 degrees and it did just fine) so it's a lot easier than incubating yogurt.  if you're familiar with and maybe frightened of viili (another traditional Finnish culture), don't worry, piima has none of viili's snotty qualities.  anyhow, if anybody wants some I'm happy to share with anybody who can stop by to pick some up.

if you're in Seattle or in the (America's) Vancouver to Kelso/Longview area and want a free piima culture, send me a personal message and we can make arrangements.  if you're lucky, I might throw in a little kefir colony.  if you've any questions about piima, I'll be happy to answer them in this thread.

Hi! Am wondering if you still have an active Piima culture to share with others?

I do.  moved out of Seattle, though, so it'll be a trip to Woodland to get some.  good stuff, though, and I recommend it.

Yikes! You really did move a WAY. I'm up here in Kitsap and don't know when I'll be down your way. I do have some friends planning a road trip to So. Cal. and back beginning next week...possibly I could talk them into stopping by and picking it up. I'll get back atcha when I know more.

no problem.  this thing doesn't always notify me when a thread updates, so your best bet is probably to send me a personal message.
