We’re getting ready to sell our milk in our local co-op and also our little downtown store. But first, we had to go through all the state inspections the last few weeks. We passed with flying colors. In fact, when the state inspector walked into our milking “parlor,” he said, “This is the nicest raw milk facility I’ve seen.” (I’m convinced it was the …

Congratulations MaryJane on your dream come true! Sure do wish I lived close by so I could come and get some of that delicious milk! Good luck in your newest venture!
Hugs,

Yes, congratulations on this venture! I grew up drinking milk out of glass gallon jars–from the local dairy and my grandparents’ cows. My gramma churned butter for years. Good memories of good food…thanks for bringing it back.
Congrats! Wish I lived closer to get some! Best to you in your new item! Love the canning jar idea. I use these jars with the plastic lids to store sugar, cornmeal, beans, and etc. Use them also with the regular canning lids and then use my vac sealer on the lids to keep things even fresher! Great for cheese in the fridge, doesn’t mold if left in there for awhile. Doesn’t happen very offen at our house though! Everyone loves Cheese!! God Bless.
Hi Christine,
My DIL has been turning our extra milk into cheese for several months now. We have an entire fridge full of cheese. You’re right, big YUM!
Wow, this is so cool!!! When I grew up, the milk was delivered to our house twice a week in those glass jars with the cream on top. Now the only downside I can remember was when the cows got into the wild spring onions which translated to a slight onion odor and taste( or so us kids insisted!). Do you have the same thing happen out there?
Actually, we used to have a delivery dairy here but when they threw in the towel in 2005, I bought all their equipment. We worm our cows with garlic on a regular basis and when we do, we make sure to make up batches of “garlic” cheese! Definitely what a cow eats, ends up in the milk.
Congratulations MaryJane…you are an amazing person!
I was excited to see your milk being sold at the co-op. We tried it right away and my husband and I are enjoying every delicious drop of it. This is what milk is supposed to taste like. Knowing it is fresh, raw, and local makes it simply the best. I really like the glass jars and the lids, too. Do you have plans to sell other products made with your milk, such as plain yogurt?
Thanks for buying our milk! We truly appreciate it. We give a shout out of daily bottles sold to all involved here at the farm. No, nothing else planned for the immediate future. We want to concentrate on just the milk for now. But maybe we could teach some yogurt and cheese making classes here at the farm? My DIL has mastered making every kind of cheese, etc.
