Spring party

I hope that you are getting excited about our spring party on Memorial Day, May 31st.   We definitely are.  We have some new products to introduce to you that we know you will love!  Plan on spending the day here on the farm eating, playing, observing, climbing, learning, and more.

Only for the brave
As you know, we are out of yogurt.  So as an experiment, we tried making more yogurt out of extra colostrum we had in the freezer.
  We tried it yesterday and...well... it sure is interesting.  We're going to put some in the sales room beside the kefir.  If you are feeling brave, take some and try it.  Some of our experiments work, some of them don't.  Let us know which you think this was...

Clarification on Chickens
Last week we announced that we had just purchased broiler chickens.  In response, someone asked where we get our chickens from and how they were raised.  We appreciate the question and apologize for not being clear enough. 

We purchase chicks from a company that ships them to us as soon as they hatch.  We then grow them ourselves, controlling all feed and then butchering them here on the farm.  


Stories from the farm
I (Ken) was out choring one morning this week when it dawned on me that there were no birds around and that I hadn't seen any for a couple of days.  I started looking for other wildlife and found very little evidence that there was much activity.  I had realized that the winter was hard on the cows but hadn't thought much about the wildlife.  Did they all fly south or hibernate?  Or
will there be that much death loss?  I guess we will know later this spring.  Latter in the day I noticed a big flock of geese flying high in perfect formation heading north.  Nature is vibrant.

Healthy food for healthy living.
