I wanted to send a message out to all of our loyal yogurt customers. Due to the current economic climate I do not feel it is in the Farms best interest to start the Dairy back up. This was a tough and agonizing decision to make.. We will continue to raise Grass-finished Beef and Mangalitsa pork. For some reason I no longer get my PM messages and when I got on to send out this post I had a couple of comments saying I have been hacked.
Again, Thank you to all of our loyal customers and God Bless.

Hello everyone I wanted to address a few concerns that a few people have raised with our last batch of yogurt that we made and distributed on February 13th. The milk that was used for that batch was very super rich in butter fat due to the fact that we had three cows freshen the week before and that's unusual for us to have three calve back to back. Those cows milk was very rich we held out the colostrum but the milk we know was high in fat and protein. We drain the yogurt to get its creaminess and our normal yield is anywhere from 66 to just under 70%. We are happy if we get a yield of just over 70% the higher the quality of milk the higher our yield. The yield on that batch of milk and yogurt was right around 80% so it was avery rich in high-quality milk which resulted in more of a butter ball look and not our normal creamy consistency. There is nothing wrong with it, it just looks different than you are used to in fact we think the taste is some of the best tasting yogurt we've had in the last 3 years , even though it all tastes great this you can tell is very rich. Remember this is a true Artisan product and every batch has the potential to be just a tad different from the batch before. Thank you for your continued support and we hope you continue to enjoy our yogurt.

This is the first chance I have had to send a big Thank You out to everyone at Argus in Ann Arbor. I was there last Thursday and left them their first shipment of Hiday Family Farm Yogurt. Also thank you for the great glass of tea.

I want to thank Westborn in Plymouth for giving our Hiday Family Farm yogurt a try. They are a nice store located in downtown Plymouth.

Had a great time yesterday demoing at the new Busch's store in Canton, MI.. If you have not been there yet, it is the most amazing grocery store I have ever been to. I can not do this store justice by trying to describe it to you, you have to see it for yourself. I can't wait to take Holly up to it. Great deals going on there this weekend.

A big thanks to all of our new friends in the Ann Arbor area. On November 12th Holly and I did a tasting demo of our yogurt at the Dexter Busch's and this past Saturday I did I demo at Arbor Farms in Ann Arbor. Both went very well and I have had so much fun being able to get away from the farm for a few hours to get out and meet and speak with many of you. When someone comes up and tells you they had your yogurt for breakfast that morning or that they send it in their kids lunches for school, it makes all of those long days of milking, feeding, field work, milk hauling, yogurt making and delivering worth while. After this weekiend I learned just how many of you shop both Busch's and Arbor Farms and that tells me we have chosen well in the stores we want to represent us and our product. Again it was fun speaking with many of you and I look forward to doing more demos. See you soon.
