Recap of 2nd Homestead Day & Reminders

Hello Dairy Fam!

Here's a little insight into our delicious offerings, along with a recap of our recent homestead sharing day and some important reminders.
You've probably noticed the delightful zing that the zest adds to both our blueberry and lemon yogurt flavors. But here's a fascinating tidbit – when we add either honey or pure maple syrup to our recipes, it seems to promote a bit of fermentation in the yogurts. Nothing to worry about, though; it takes weeks for any alcohol effect to occur, and the flavor subtly changes in a delightful way.

Ideally, we love when our products are picked up on the day scheduled for delivery. That way, you get to experience our yogurts at their absolute freshest and best. Although, when cared for correctly, raw milk will never rot. It might transform into something different over time, but it certainly won't spoil.

So, why not try making our blueberry sauce at home? Whip up your own fruit sauce using honey or pure maple syrup as sweeteners. It's a delightful pairing with our lemon yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt, trust me! You can find the recipe for homemade blueberry sauce at the bottom. And speaking of our yogurts, we've decided to start making the lemon without the zest. Both flavors are now offered twice per month.

Now, onto Saturday's homestead sharing day. We had a fantastic turnout we once again with around 15 kids! It's been incredible to see the interest from young folks, with 4 kids expressing enough interest to return for a longer stay. They’re all eager to learn the art of milking, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have them join us. Kids that would like to return to learn more about the art of milking will just need to reach out and plan a good time that works for them and we can get some sessions scheduled.

It's been heartwarming to see the joy and enthusiasm shared by all with these past couple of events and everyone getting to learn and share and enjoying food together.
​
Lastly, before I forget, a couple of reminders:

1. Please try to remember to put your order numbers on your payment. This really helps us to track down payments and saves us a bunch of time.
2. May orders are due ASAP.
3. Remember, monthly orders help us plan so that we can ensure we have enough product for folks and not having to worry so much about week to week inventory.

Until next time!
