Place Your April Orders!
As we gear up for the upcoming month, we want to remind everyone to get their orders in by March 20th to ensure we have enough supply for all orders and to accommodate any special product requests. We are still taking orders for the month of March, but with limited milk, later orders will be bumped first. Monthly orders are always filled first, then weekly, then late orders. Since calving is soon upon us, we will be adding more cows to our milk supply and  should be able to fill more orders. 
If you don't see your favorite product available in our store or have a specific request in mind, simply leave us a note when you place your order. Whether it's a particular type of cheese, a specialty yogurt flavor, or any other dairy delight, we'll do our best to fulfill your request. As they say the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
Lastly, we would sincerely appreciate anyone paying for their order via Vemno, check or cash to PLEASE include your order number that the payment is associated with. For Venmo put the order number in the notes for the payment and for check/cash we will try hard to keep envelopes at all drop sites so you can include the order information on those when you pay. This really helps us out when we are tracking down payments for orders and saves us a bunch of time. We appreciate your help with this ask. 

Clabbered Milk: A Traditional Dairy Delight
We have been working on something unique this week that we’d like to tell you all about! Have you ever heard of clabbered milk? This traditional dairy product holds a special place in culinary history and offers a unique taste and texture that's worth exploring.

What is Clabbered Milk?
Clabbered milk, also known as clabber or clabber milk, is essentially milk that has naturally fermented due to the presence of lactic acid bacteria. This process occurs when raw milk, and it can only be raw milk, is left at a warm room temperature, allowing beneficial bacteria to proliferate and acidify the milk, leading to its characteristic tangy flavor and thickened consistency. This type of milk was very commonly used in the older days due to lack of refrigeration and was used as a great base for many recipes.  

How is Clabbered Milk Made?
Making clabbered milk is simple and requires minimal effort. Start with fresh, raw, whole milk and allow it to sit at a warm room temperature for a period of time, typically overnight or up to 48 hours. During this time, the naturally occurring bacteria in the milk begin to multiply and ferment, gradually transforming the milk into clabbered milk.
​
What Can Clabbered Milk Be Used For?
Clabbered milk has a versatile range of culinary uses and can be incorporated into various dishes and recipes. Here are a few ways to enjoy this traditional dairy delight:
  1. Cooking and Baking: Use clabbered milk as a substitute for milk or yogurt in recipes for pancakes, biscuits, muffins, and other baked goods. The acidity of the milk has proven to react better with baking soda and baking powder, making it a wonderful ingredient for your baked goods. Its tangy flavor adds depth to savory and sweet dishes alike. It can also be used a replacement for condensed soups, including it in soups, casseroles and even gravies to thicken up your meal.
  2. Dressings and Dips: Blend clabbered milk with herbs, spices, and other flavorings to create creamy dressings and dips for salads, vegetables, and snacks.
  3. Smoothies and Shakes: Incorporate clabbered milk into smoothies and shakes for a probiotic boost and added creaminess.
  4. Cheese Making: Clabbered milk can also be used as a base for making fresh cheeses, such as cottage cheese and Schmeirkase (Amish cup cheese). Its thickened consistency and tangy flavor provide a perfect foundation for homemade cheese creations.

Incorporating clabbered milk into your culinary repertoire adds a touch of tradition and flavor to your meals and expands your appreciation for the rich diversity of dairy products.
If you’d like to know more or want a walk-through of how to make Schmerikase, we recommend this YouTube video. It has a ton of good information and step by step process on how to make the clabbered milk and the different type of cheeses/dairy products you can make from it.
