2011: Focus on Raw Milk Safety What is safe raw milk? What does it look like in the barn, in the cows, in the sanitation, on the farm, in the tests, in the taste, in the quality. How do we make is so apparent to anyone that will look - how dedicated we are...

Questions/Invitation to discussion

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Saturday January 15, 2011   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

Hello Stoughton Area farmland owner

I'm late at so many things. Squandered October I did, just did not get it together. But that's the way it went, and it has always worked out. The animals are cared for, nothing is busted, so here we are. We are losing some of the land we have cared for so...

The betrayer

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Thursday November 18, 2010   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

I am the betrayer. I am the one entrusted with their happiness. I am the one that brings them in every day, knowing that one day I will not let them out. I know that day will come, and that it will be unpleasant, and that I will feel bad. But I will be...

Why you think you so special, Scott?

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Friday September 03, 2010   -   By Scott&JulieTraut
