Year in Review, Part 24

Cows and more cows...

Our dog and one of the calves became dear friends...

Our cows kept us very busy this year - between calves being born, several cows to milk by hand morning and night, and then the milk to process (we usually make 2-4 gallons of the milk into cheese every day), we had our hands full... of cows and milk! Admittedly, Jemima and Mom do most of the "milk maid" chores, and I mostly just enjoy the fruits of their labors! : )

I don't know if the healthy benefits of raw, homegrown milk and cheese and butter are worth the tremendous amount of time it takes to produce it all, but it is a really good feeling to sit down to lunch. One of our most frequent lunch menus is grilled cheese sandwiches - made with homemade whole wheat bread, homemade mozzarella cheese, and homemade raw butter. Yum!
Add some home-grown garden veggies, and it makes a delicious and healthy lunch....
