Fresh, Raw Milk

Meet Daisy!

She is a 5 year old guernsey cow that we purchased recently so that the family could enjoy fresh, raw milk like the days of old. Some of the benefits of drinking raw milk are discussed here: http://www.realmilk.com/ppt/index.html. Dan (my husband) became very industrious and build a fantastic little dairy off the side of our shed - so that we could milk in relative comfort.

We use a milking machine, rather than milk by hand - which saves us a lot of time and keeps the milk really clean.

The milk is absolutely delicious. So creamy. I have been learning how to make some simple cheese to put all of this milk to good use.
