Addendum to the Butter List—Spring Hill
I knew I was missing something. Thanks to Julie C. at CUESA for reminding me.
In the Butter: Don't Hate. Embrace. article I forgot to mention that Spring Hill Cheese Company also has an organic cultured butter. It's made from Jersey cow milk which is, as I mentioned, TDF. Spring Hill sells at a few (mostly northern county) retail stores, at various farmer's markets in the bay area as well as in their online store.
Spring Hill has about 320 acres out in Petaluma with about 400 Jerseys. I keep meaning to pick some up of their cultured butter at the Alemany farmers market. Julie says it tastes really terrific, but you need to eat it fairly quickly after purchase even though it's a pasteurized product.
Besides peddling butter, Spring Hill has a rotating selection of more than 25 cheese varieties including raw cheddar, sun-dried tomato jack, dry jack, Old World Portuguese (on the cheddar/gouda continuum) and three varieties of quark, a low-fat cheese made from strained yogurt.
I tried this butter at the Alemany farmers' market, and it was yummy.

I buy mine at the Heart of the City Farmers' Market (SF Civic Center) on Wednesdays.
Their lemon shallot butter is my favorite, especially for sauteéing.
It's the greatest thing since--and ON--sliced bread!
