I hit the lottery- my cow share officially begins tomorrow!!! Ruth Ann (she's a heritage breed Golden Guernsey cow) had her baby (Buttercup, I love that name for a baby cow) a few weeks ago and now I get to pick up a jar (glass, yay!) of
fresh A2 casein milk each week. I love that my son and I can (and will) say hi to Ruth Ann and Buttercup each week and tour the farm whenever we want. To me this is a dream come true. I love knowing exactly where my food comes from, who grows it and cares for it and especially what my food is eating (cows eat grass...not grains and definitely not SOY or ground up animal parts!) If you suffer from sinus issues, allergies, skin rashes, asthma and a host of other related issues, your dairy might be the culprit. (just Google A2 casein milk) I gave it up for a while, but boy did I miss yogurt, cheese, butter and ice cream. We have been buying fresh, lightly pasteurized local milk awaiting our turn on the long list. Because I noticed some skin and digestive issues with my son when we introduced dairy at age two, I have really limited his consumption to goat yogurt and grass-fed butter. So I really do feel like we hit the lottery. I plan to make cheese, yogurt and in warmer months some ice cream from our fresh milk. Stay tuned....
