This Saturday, May 18th, is the Linn County Tour

Hello friends,
              I hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful.  Mine started out okay, but I ended up with a stomach bug.  Ugh!  So, we will postpone going out to eat until another day when we can enjoy it.  The restaurants were probably crowded anyway.  I’m feeling much better but now we hope no one else catches it.  No fun.
              We have been dealing with a few milk issues.  If you got milk that spoiled quickly or tasted off right away, we will replace it or refund.  After the second report last Monday we began to investigate and discovered a loose gasket on one of the milking assemblies which left a place for residue to form.  Then we also discovered one cow had mastitis!  After doing an inconclusive CMT test on every cow, we finally found the culprit Thursday evening.  We have rectified both problems but if you got milk that you couldn’t drink, just dump it and we will replace it.  Thank you for reporting so that we could go to look for a problem.  We want to keep our milk top quality.
              This Saturday is the Linn County Farm Tour!  If you ever wanted to tour the creamery, now is your chance.  I will prepare ahead of time; you will need to take off your shoes if you want to go into the make room.  We’ll have samples to taste and plenty of cheese to purchase.  The cows and heifers will be nearby so you can see the real working girls.  Here is a link to the Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=445315411488893&set=pcb.445315998155501
