Vivian on Her Pregnancy Vacation

…The cows’ milk production is leveling out now with the grass going to seed and the warmer weather.  Also, Vivian is now on her pregnancy vacation, so we are milking 11.  This is a saner volume of milk to deal with.  Our creamery is not set up for huge volumes of milk processing because our cheese vat will only hold 75 gallons at a time and the pasteurizer 15 gallons.  Soon Makenzie will take her pregnancy vacation and so it will go all summer and fall.  Some off-line, some calving and coming back on line.  We have to keep good records to stay organized.

              This is my week to do farmer’s market on Saturday.  It should be pretty warm so come prepared with a cooler in your car.  We’ll have lots of cheese and yogurt available.  The Pure Silk strained plain yogurt has been selling out fast, so to help me plan how much to make, feel free to give me a pre-order.  I have time to make enough if I know by Thursday.  Watch your OP Market Facebook posts or our repost for our location at the walk-up market.  Remember, we’ll be in the parking lot at the Convention Center through the end of June….
