What I would do with a single axle milk truck

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Sunday November 15, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

My friend Pete Hardin, who is editor/writer/passion behind The Milkweed , called me yesterday morning, to tell me "some things", but especially about an ad he placed for me in his latest issue of the Milkweed, which I just got yesterday. So here's...

History and culture: how we came to pasteurization...

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Friday November 13, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

I am a guy. And guys, it seems, like history. It's a generalization of course, but I'm sure The History Channel could show its demographics. Now, guys, has this necessarily made us any smarter? Well, maybe not. But boy can we be fascinated in front of a good...

In the name of love: Raw milk and my hero, Dr. Mar...

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Thursday November 12, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

I am so proud of everyone that showed up yesterday at the DATCP board meeting. That took their time -- felt so passionate -- spoke from every possible place in society -- that raw milk is here, we're not going away, and that we need to be heard -- and...

To my neighbors: Dale&Sandy, Howard&Carmen

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Wednesday November 11, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

I am in a state of wonderment. I wonder, I appreciate, I am grateful. This great plan for me -- for us -- all of us -- that I am part of, I wonder why it has to be like this, but accept and know it IS for a reason, and it is not that I am to be miserable, but...

The Saturday, November 7th 2009 opening day for this indoor/year-round market was incredible! What a well organized, refreshingly progressive approach to promoting fresh-local food and products...and here in NE Ohio of all places! Hats off to the...

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Tuesday November 10, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

  Well this is certainly long overdue. But isn't that just that way -- those that do the most, that hold it all together -- that do the real work of -- everything -- don't get the credit they deserve. The accolades, the attention -- goes to knuckleheads...

Courage and Milk

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Sunday November 08, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

Well now I've done it! I spoke yesterday in front of an attentive and enthusiastic audience at the Dane County Farmers Market, and I dumped a symbolic amount of our precious, beautiful milk. That milk that I dumped -- could be the most valuable milk ever...

Education & Sanity on this whole RAW MILK situatio...

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Friday November 06, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

Anyone wonder what the heck I was saying yesterday? You know what, me too. This is all so complicated -- and it does involve way more than just the farm itself and its survival. How do I see and act in the many roles I serve in. Messy. Complicated. No simple...

Anyone for some milk?

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Sunday November 01, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

I (Scott) ended up down at the Dane County Farmers Market after milking Saturday. As I like to say, it's one of those scary sounding things that are just well, obvious, and not scary. So: I was listening to the voices in my head, and doing what they tell me...

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Friday October 23, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

Granted, it is supposed to be damp and on the chilly side this Saturday but that won't stop our farmers from showing up with all of their homegrown goodness! I am amazed at the amount of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and green beans still available....

Still Farmin' Through November 21

Blog: City of Hudson Farmers Market   -   Saturday October 17, 2009   -   By Virginia

Wow, the fall has been busy!  Today's market was sunny and a little nippy....a good day for wool socks!  Although a few of the vendors, those with tender vegetables, are done for the year, we still have a solid core of farmers bringing produce, milk,...

Only 3 Weeks Left!!!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Thursday October 15, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

Brrrrr, there's a wee bit of a chill in the air! But that won't stop our farmers from bringing their farm fresh goodies to the market. Besides, they know that there is only 3 more weeks of the market left for the 2009 season and they are sure folks will want...

The Good Old Days!

Blog: Bluegrass Farmers Market   -   Wednesday October 07, 2009   -   By Kentucky Proud

It's that time of the year...the outdoor plants need to be moved indoors and that means I have to make room for them. I started to clear out a corner that somehow managed to become a catchall for boxes of stuff. One of the boxes was filled with things,...
