It's so wonderful to have a local source for pastured meat and raw milk! I had searched for months and the closest thing I found was at least an hour away. That's a long trip with 2 little ones, so I was resigned to be content with just an occasional visit. The other night I was searching Local Harvest again and noticed Windsweep Farm in Dixon! I emailed Renee and she very promptly responded. Today we made our first trip to the farm and purchased 2 gallons of milk, a pint of maple syrup, and put a reserve on a quarter of beef. It was a great experience and good for my children to be able to see where their food comes from!

The milk is absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to try the beef as well. The Dixon area is very fortunate to have Windsweep Farm!

I need to update my review to comment on the meat. We purchased a beef quarter in late March and have been enjoying it ever since. I was warned that grass fed beef doesn't taste as good as corn fed, but that hasn't been my experience at all. This is the best beef I've ever tasted. We've had a summer of the best hamburgers and steaks ever. We'll be ordering again. Highly recommended.
