Blog: Westminster Farmers' Market   -   Friday November 13, 2009   -   By Dean

Westminster Farmers’ Market Report from Maple Heights Farm Holiday Markets and Beautiful Little Milk Goats…        Well, even though our Farmers’ Market has closed, I have yet to have a Friday off!   ...

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...

Waiting for Wednesday...

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Sunday November 08, 2009   -   By Emily

Farmers are generally patient people.  There is a lot of waiting from the time a seed is planted until you can eat the results, and depending on the animal, it can be a very long time waiting for the arrival of a baby!  But sometimes even patient...

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...

Friends/Innovation/Heroes

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Wednesday November 04, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

You cannot keep me down. To keep me down -- you'd have to convince me no one cared. And I can clearly see that is not the case -- that more people every day care -- and they seek us out. And to believe the world is a terrible place: One reacts to that in a...

November 2009

Blog: Garden of Ethan   -   Monday November 02, 2009   -   By Ethan

I have grossly miscalculated my ability to keep up with processing all the birds I raised this year. Slipping an extra dozen into the incubator, and then another, and later finding a hen sitting on eggs, all seemed rather innocent and inconsequential this...

A letter to a friend

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Monday November 02, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

A correspondence -- one of many to the many, wonderful friends I have made here -- at such an increasing rate over the past two years I would say - this friend is facing the imminent loss of his brother to cancer. And he is seeing all this craziness I'm...

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...

A Grass Dairyman

Blog: Trautman Family Farm   -   Tuesday October 13, 2009   -   By Scott&JulieTraut

April 4th. Forecast: 3-5 inches of snow, after the wettest March on record, after the wettest February on record. Challenging keeping animals clean and out of the mud yet not destroying good pasture, as anywhere they are is a mess. But spring is here, the...

Blog: Breeze Hill Farm   -   Monday October 05, 2009   -   By MaLinda

Noil Silk – Fiber Arts Friday

Blog: Breeze Hill Farm   -   Friday October 02, 2009   -   By MaLinda

As most of you know the other side of my farm business is goats milk products. This time of year I am kicking it into high gear getting ready for Holiday Markets, Open Houses, and Shows. One item that I make (knit or crochet) is a big supply of wash...

I'm Easily Excited!

Blog: Breeze Hill Farm   -   Thursday October 01, 2009   -   By MaLinda
