November Orders & Upcoming Subscriptions

10/29/2024

November Dairy Updates
As we head into November, there are a few important updates to keep everyone on track for the month!
  • Weekly Orders After November 1st: After the first of November, weekly orders won’t be available. We’re shifting to a more seasonal schedule, so make sure you have everything you need planned ahead.
  • November Orders Due Soon: Please submit your November orders by Friday, November 1st to secure your dairy essentials for the month. Keep in mind that orders for the period from October 29th through November 1st are already included in the October monthly orders.
Upcoming Subscription Format
We will be slowing down in the Winter months and plan to offer a limited selection of products. With that, we will be shutting down the online store and will be rolling out a subscription for milk and kefir for the months of December, January and February. This will be available in the next week or two for you all to place your orders.
Just a couple of notes on the subscriptions:
  • Placing a subscription order means you will be placing that order to be reoccurring for the duration of the three months.
  • You will have the option of milk and/or kefir and will be able to choose the cadence of getting that quantity weekly or bi-weekly (every other week).
  • When you place your order, you will be paying for the first month. After that, we will request that you pay the same amount for the following two months after. Make sure when paying, that you include your original subscription order number.
  • We will have a spot when you place your order to add in requests for other items that we will be making, but in limited quantities such as cheeses, yogurt, half and half, etc. As those items are made we will reach out to let you know they are ready and request any additional payment when you receive those.


We’re excited to keep everyone supplied with fresh, nourishing dairy through the winter season. Please reach out if you have any questions about these changes, and stay tuned for updates as we gear up for a great November!

Notes On Upcoming Months

10/21/2024

Happy Monday All!
​
We’re back with some updates for you all to be aware of as we head into the last few months of the year!

Back on Track with Milk Deliveries
The mornings sure seem to fly by, but it's been nice to spend some quality time with the girls. Our six dairy cows are happy campers now, and with the new additions settling in, they’re giving us the extra boost we needed to get back on track.
  • Worland Pickups: Milk will be in the fridge earlier this week, so you can pick up your order as early as Thursday morning. I’ll be bottling Wednesday night and delivering late Wednesday evening.
  • Manderson Deliveries: Thursday at 9 AM.
  • Ranch Pickups: Available Friday and Saturday.
We will also be updating the dates for monthly orders earlier than normal, so you’ll be able to place your December monthly order on the website as early as November 12th.
Feel free to text or call if you have any questions about your order!

Focusing on Hard Cheeses
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be concentrating on hard cheeses while also keeping up with your regular milk, kefir, and yogurt orders. As we approach Winter, we’ll have to give the girls a break. Most of our lactating cows will be prepping their bodies to calve in the spring, so our milk production will likely drop off in February and March.
We’re aiming to keep things running smoothly and meet all milk needs during March, and in April, we’ll have more of our hard-aged cheeses available. Remember, cheese is a fantastic way to enjoy concentrated nutrition, so save some of your milk money for March and give the cheeses a try! We’re hoping for just a one-month gap in milk availability to give all the cows two months dry before the 2025 calves arrive.

Coming Soon: Whey Protein Powder!
We’re also excited to be launching our very own Whey Protein Powder late Winter or early Spring. We’re thinking of offering two flavors—Vanilla and Chocolate—and please reach out if you’re interested and what flavor you’d like.
​
Stock Up Now
Now’s the perfect time to stock up on milk while we’re still in full production. Whether you’re planning to freeze some or use your freeze dryer, having a little extra will ensure you’re covered during the Winter months. And as always, reach out if you have any questions.

​We appreciate each and every one of you and are grateful for your support. Stay tuned for more updates, and blessings to all!

Smoke, Shortages & Exciting Changes: Here's the Latest from the Dairy

10/9/2024

0 Comments

 
Hi Friends,

We’ve all been feeling the effects of this smoke hanging in the air, and our hearts go out to those who are suffering losses from the fires. It’s tough times, and we hope everyone is staying safe as best they can.

On a brighter note, we’ve got some exciting news to share—Sophia, who is wanting to get involved with the dairy, was here yesterday and again this morning. It sounds like she’s planning to stay and help us out this winter, which is a huge blessing! We’re so glad to have her around and it’ll be wonderful to have some extra hands around here.

Now for the not-so-great news: we’re pretty short on milk right now. The cows have been milking for nearly eight months, and between that and the shorter daylight hours, they’ve slowed down a bit. The super dry conditions aren’t helping either. We’re sorry if you’ve been impacted by the shortage, and we’re hopeful that things will pick up soon. We’re hoping to add a couple more cows to the milking line up when the calves get shipped out next week, which should help us meet demand. For those of you who’ve been shorted, check your account for credits—we’re making sure to take care of you.

Also, just a heads-up: next week’s delivery will be on Friday instead of the usual day.

Cheese News & Product Updates
We’re busy filling cheese orders for October. Cream cheese is being made this week, along with Feta and Dream Cheese. As for our aged cheeses, we’ve got Cactus Jack, Saddlestring Swiss, and Good Ol’ Gouda available. Keep an eye on the store—we’ll update it weekly and keep you in the loop as best we can.

Standing at the yogurt pot the other day, I noticed a little sign that felt pretty perfect for this season: “Never let a stumble be the end of the road”. It’s a good reminder as we adjust to changes around here. Next week’s delivery will be on Friday instead of the usual day and from now on, Fridays will be our delivery day for Worland and Manderson. We’re doing everything we can to ensure everyone gets their milk, though we might have to limit some of the other products temporarily.
​
Thanks for sticking with us through these ups and downs—we’ll get through it together!
