Certified raw milk? Yes, please! Farmer needs your help.

The farmer is proud to announce that he now has a Raw Milk Permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture! The Raw Milk Permit allows the farmer to lawfully produce and sell raw milk for human consumption in the state of Pennsylvania. It means that the farm has been inspected and follows all regulations under the Milk Sanitation Law:

So what if you boil your milk?

You just went through a good amount of effort to get your radically old fashioned milk, and then you boil it?! What gives? Let’s look into this more closely to understand the reasoning, benefits, and compromises of boiling milk.

The udder truth about dirty teats

Imagine you are a cow, and it’s a chilly fall night. You look around and see a steaming pile of fresh manure. What would you do? You’d sit down and squoosh your udders into that soft warm pillow and fall fast asleep. This is why, when the cows go in for the 5am milking, their teats are filthy! An average farmer simply coats the teats in iodine and leisurely wipes them with a paper towel. Our farmer is beyond average. He’s exceptional.

Why goat milk is superior to cow milk

Cow milk is undoubtedly the most common type of milk in America. However, if you consider milk consumption globally, goat milk comes out on top. Why? The reasons are multifaceted. Here are four reasons why goat milk is better than cow milk. Some apply to us, and some don’t.

3 smart reasons to proudly drink grass-fed milk

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful spring! Having you been watching the grass grow? The cows have officially switched from hay to fresh grass... and here comes my beloved yellow, nutrient-dense, spring milk. I pour my family grass-fed milk with confidence. You should, too. Here are 3 smart reasons why:

Why are you trading consistency for quality with fresh, unprocessed dairy?

We know how much you value providing fresh, unprocessed dairy for your family. You know, the stuff that’s humanely raised and packed with essential nutrients, fully digestible proteins, crucial enzymes, and beneficial microorganisms. That’s why our farmer makes wholesome dairy products to order every week, with minimal heating. You simply can’t find these nutrient-dense dairy products in the store.

The misguiding nature of the new A2 milk discovery means you need to talk to your farmer.

I was given a postcard for another small farm that said something like “100% Jersey cows producing A2 milk”, and this got me frustrated. It’s bad enough that “grass-fed” means a cow can be finished on grain and that “pastured” means a chicken may never touch grass, but now small farms are doing it, too!? I know farming is a hard gig, and I don’t think anyone is being maliciously deceitful. I’m disappointed. Unscrupulous farmers interested in high quality nutrient-dense food should do thorough research about new products, like A2 cow dairy, and present accurate information. And conscious consumers should do the same.

Making the perfect chocolate milk

Instead of all-natural ingredients, the chocolate milk that kids (...and adults) know today is full of refined and artificial ingredients and additives. The chocolate milk that you find in grocery stores typically consists of partly skimmed milk, sugar (or glucose or fructose), cocoa, artificial color, salt, carrageenan, artificial flavor, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D3. Let’s take a look at why manufacturers choose these ingredients and why, when you are using high quality ingredients and purchasing directly from a farm, they aren’t needed.
