Different than your typical farming column or rural writing blog, The Milk House column seeks to explore what it means to come from the countryside. It is published in print across various countries, and in several languages.

 The Milk House Name

Before becoming an online resource that serves as the epicenter of all good rural writing, The Milk House was first the name of a column written by novelist Ryan Dennis first appearing in journals in 2011. The Milk House column continues today, finding new audiences as it expands across print publications worldwide.

  1. Ryan,

    I took your suggestion to heart. Just this weekend I was in WNY for a family. I recommended your articles to many cousins, one who went to Canaseraga Central and is a guidance counselor in Corning and another who teaches in Bath. Trying to get the word out. I’m droning on but I have to tell you, it seems all of my friends have a copy of The Beasts in their homes. Didn’t get to Canaseraga but got close. In Arkport I got maple syrup at Hendees and a couple pies from Di. Happy Birthday and tell your mom I said hello.

  2. Hi Ray,

    If I had a payroll I would put you on it. Thanks for the birthday wishes, and for telling people about my writing. If copies of The Beasts were used as doorstops in said homes, that’s fine, I would understand. Picking up pies and maple syrup makes any trip worth it. I will indeed give my mother your best, and thanks again for the message. We’ll have to cross paths in person someday when I’m in the US.
