Dairy Farm News

The market's were buzzing this week as shoppers gathered their local farm products.  It is nice to see the local food movement come to life.  Much of our cheese had only been packaged hours before
the market providing a very fresh product for the consumer.

Our cheese has been doing well at the markets and we have been real busy here at the farm producing different flavors and styles of cheese.  Our soap stock continues to grow as the staff gets batches ready
to go into the molds and the number of bars increase on the shelves in anticipation of this years holiday season.

On the Dairy Side of the farm we are working towards Grade A status and hope to have that phase completed by Spring.  The inspector has already approved our holding pen and that is already installed.
We have our milking barn on premises ready to erect and will begin on that in the coming months.

New shelters for the goats are getting installed as we prepare for Hurricane season and winter.
Some of our goats will be kidding this fall so we will have a new round of babies between October and November and need more shelter to house everyone. 

I can hardly wait for the new babies as kidding season is my favorite time of year.


Until next time.....Julie
