Summer Photo Tour

Wow, it's August already! Are we enjoying each moment of the season as it flies by? For me I know it takes effort to make sure I actually enjoy each moment to the fullest. Do you know what happens to life if you don't pay a whole lot of attention?

mRNA Vaccines? Not At Dutch Meadows!

So it seems like this topic (mRNA), has the hot seat right now right? If you are not familiar with what this is, you probably will be very soon! In other words it seems like it is some kind of "gene editing" through foods. Or maybe they're trying to get the folks that haven't taken the mRNA jab over Covid to get it somehow through foods?

Fake Eggs? Fake Meat? Save The World?

Wow, already into March! What happened to January, and February? :) We have not had too much winter yet here in Lancaster County PA, but I am sure some of you in other areas have? Would be awesome to have a big "snow day" once again! :) OK, now for my actual message which has 2 parts...

RECAP: Beyond Organic Or Fake Organic

So today I will be recapping on an email we sent out over a month ago regarding Organic certification. But we also wanted to clarify a few things as well beings a few of you asked some really great questions. So here goes...

Beyond Organic Or Fake Organic?

Today we have a very loaded subject that we will discuss with you. Organic Certification. This is strictly referring to our RAW milk and Regular yogurt as it is the only products we certify here at the farm.

In September of 2018 at the Churchtown Dairy in Hudson, NY Mark McAfee, Founder and Chairman of Raw Milk Institute, started a presentation by reminding his audience about the important connection between the soil and the gut. The entire presentation is rich with valuable information but that initial sentiment cannot be overlooked especially by those preparing to shift their lifestyle in a healthier direction.

While this is true based on the physics alone, most people making this claim are also not enjoying grass fed beef steak, which makes a difference.

Why We Must Read Beyond the Headlines and Advocate for Real Food

It’s ongoing in fact, despite more and more data supporting the health benefits, not harm, of consuming raw milk. The latest research is no different. In fact, as the Raw Milk Institute shared in one of their regular raw milk updates, a recent government-funded study found ZERO pathogens in 594 raw milk samples.
