Hi Friends!
Hope everyone is having a good week! For this week’s post, we have a quick update from the dairy and a peek into the process of getting our wonderful, fresh dairy to you all. Hope you enjoy!

News from the Dairy
We are pausing milk orders/deliveries until early March. We are in the process of drying up the girls so they have a bit of a break before they begin calving. Yogurt and kefir orders will still be filled for those that pre-ordered and those will only be available for dairy pick up as we are pausing deliveries on those orders. We will reach out and let folks know once we start filling milk orders again.


From Grass to Glass: The Journey of Raw Milk
Have you ever wondered about the journey raw milk takes before it reaches your table? From lush pastures to your glass, raw milk carries a story of nature, care, and craftsmanship. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at each step of the process, celebrating the simplicity and purity that makes raw milk so special.

1. Happy Pastures, Happy Cows
It all begins in the fields, where our cows roam freely, grazing on fresh, nutrient-rich grass and during the winter, they get alfalfa-rich hay. Throughout the year, the girls get to enjoy wet, brewer’s grains from local breweries while they are milked. This feed provides a great boost of protein which contributes to the girls’ overall health and nutritional density of the milk. It also aids breweries as it reduces waste that would otherwise go to landfills. The quality of raw milk starts here, as the health and happiness of the cows directly influence its taste and nutritional value. By focusing on pasture grazing and supplementing with grains, we ensure our cows stay content.
2. Milking Time: Gentle and Clean
Every morning we head to the barn for milking. We milk the ladies one at a time, allowing for a quiet and individual milking experience, another way that we improve their quality of life and, thus, improving the quality of the milk. Using these gentle milking techniques, we prioritize the comfort of our cows while maintaining the highest hygiene standards. Each batch of milk is handled with care to preserve its natural enzymes, probiotics, and full-bodied flavor.
3. Freshness Matters: Quick Cooling and Storage
Immediately after milking, the raw milk is filtered and rapidly cooled to maintain its freshness. This step is crucial for locking in the milk’s natural goodness and ensuring it’s ready for distribution. Unlike pasteurized milk, raw milk retains its wholesome qualities, offering a truly unprocessed experience.
4. Packaging with Care
Once the milk is ready, it’s packaged in eco-friendly glass bottles to preserve its flavor and reduce waste. Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at the farm – it extends to every aspect of our operation, including how we deliver milk to your home.
5. Straight to Your Table
Finally, the raw milk makes its way to you, whether through our delivery service or pickup at the dairy. With every sip, you’re tasting the result of careful stewardship, from the grass the cows grazed on to the dedication we have to being local and sustainable, who make it all possible.


The journey of raw milk from grass to glass is a labor of love, rooted in tradition and fueled by a passion for purity. We’re honored to be part of your family’s table and look forward to continuing to provide you with the freshest, most natural dairy products around.

Hey there, fellow dairy lovers!

Just a heads up, we have a limited amount of cheddar cheese available so if you'd like to snag some up, be sure to reach out to Sophia (c: 816-738-5340) and let her know you're interested. 

Alrighty today, let's dive into a hot topic in the world of milk: the ongoing debate between raw and pasteurized milk. We know many of you are faithfully sipping on our delicious raw milk, and maybe some of you are curious about what sets it apart from the pasteurized stuff. So grab a glass of your favorite dairy, and let’s chat!

What’s the Scoop on Pasteurized Milk?
First things first, let’s cover what pasteurized milk is all about. Pasteurization is a process where milk is heated to a certain temperature to kill bacteria. It’s like a protective shield to help keep milk safe for longer shelf life. Sounds good, right? Well, it definitely has its perks, especially concerning food safety. 
But here’s where things get interesting: while pasteurization does eliminate  bacteria, it also kills off a big chunk of beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Yep, you heard that right! Many of the vitamins and minerals that make milk so nutritious can take a hit in the pasteurization process.

The Joy of Raw Milk
Now, let’s get into the good stuff – raw milk! Straight from our cows to your glass, raw milk is minimally processed and contains all the natural nutrients in their full glory. Why do we think raw milk is so amazing? Here are a few reasons:
Nutrient-Rich Wonder: Raw milk retains all those essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, E, K, and B vitamins. Plus, it’s packed with enzymes that help your body digest dairy.
Probiotics Galore: Did you know raw milk is a great source of probiotics? These friendly bacteria can work wonders for your gut health, helping with digestion and boosting your immune system.
Better Flavor: Many people swear by the rich, creamy taste of raw milk. It’s incredibly pure and doesn’t have that “cooked” flavor that some find in pasteurized milk.
Aids in Lactose Digestion: If you’re lactose intolerant, raw milk might surprise you! The enzymes in raw milk can help break down lactose, making it easier for some folks to enjoy.
Supports Local Farms: By choosing raw milk, you’re often supporting small, local dairy farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable practices. It’s a win for both your health and your community!

The Safety Factor
Now, we certainly understand the concerns around raw milk and safety. It’s important to source your raw milk from a reputable dairy that follows strict hygiene and quality standards. When done right, the benefits of raw milk can far outweigh the risks for many people.

So, What’s the Verdict?
Ultimately, the choice between raw and pasteurized milk comes down to personal preference and values. At our dairy, we wholeheartedly believe in the goodness of raw milk and all the benefits it brings to your table. It’s nutrient-dense, full of flavor, and supports a healthy lifestyle.
If you’re ready to give raw milk a try, we’re here to support you every step of the way! Feel free to reach out with any questions, or just stop by to share your raw milk experiences with us. We love hearing from our readers!
