This is what we call a Calvalanche! We had so many babies born in a 2 day period, we didn’t have enough clean, empty hutches setup for them to be solo. Currently working on sanitizing previously used hutches so we can get these girls all into their own places today! It is best for them to be alone at this age so they don’t share germs or suck on each other. They are all neighbors while in the hutches so they definitely aren’t lonely. Once they are about 2.5 months old they graduate to a superhutch. Will post about those next time 😊

In celebration of June Dairy Month, our next feature for the International Year of the Woman Farmer in Massachusetts is Angie Facey of Our Family Farms Milk!

Raised by her parents, Meg and Bob Moschini, alongside her siblings on a dairy farm in Spencer, she developed a deep love and respect for their cows, the land, and the farming way of life. Growing up on a farm taught her teamwork, responsibility, humility, and instilled a strong work ethic that continues to guide her today. More importantly, her parents taught her the values of perseverance, integrity, and caring for both people and animals.

She received her B.S. in Dairy and Animal Science from Penn State and returned to Massachusetts, working as a dairy nutritionist where she met her husband, Randy. They married in 2004 and purchased her parents' herd to combine both family's farms.

For Angie, farming means being part of something bigger than herself. It's a way of life that requires hard work, resilience, and a commitment to caring for the land, animals, and people who depend on her everyday.

She is proud to honor the generations of women who came before her, especially her mom, who recently passed away this past March. She was one of Angie's greatest role models, having a sixth sense when it came to cows, knowing exactly what was needed when something wasn't quite right with them. She feels very fortunate that her mom was able to pass that instinct onto her and carries the lessons she learned from her and her dad in her work and life today.

Ultimately, she feels incredibly fortunate to make a living doing what she loves and advises to any woman thinking about getting into farming to not be afraid to jump and get dirty...there will always be people who think women can't do something but agriculture is one of those industries where you learn by doing so work hard, ask questions, and never be afraid to admit when you don't know something. Farming needs strong, dedicated women and there is always a place for them at the table, in the barn, in the field, and in the boardroom!

We’ve sure been busy! Put up lots of feed for our cows last week. Thanks to Barstow's Dairy Store and Bakery for doing an amazing job as usual! The faster you can get your crop in, pack it and cover it, the higher quality feed you will have and fewer losses to spoilage. On to spreading manure then planting corn!

So excited to announce our milk is now on Long River Produce Market store shelves in Deerfield! Thanks for supporting local farmers!

I’m about to drop some knowledge on ya so open wide. I lived 31 years before I thought of MIXING chocolate and strawberry milk together. Is this something people do!? Or did I actually just have a brain blast that’s going to change lives?? Okay there’s that and ALSO putting coffee milk in coffee. SO GOOD. Maybe you’re all rolling your eyes at me rn like DUH jess OR maybe I just blew your minds. Luckily for you, we now carry all of these milk flavors for your experimenting pleasure. We’re excited to be working with Our Family Farms!

Thanks for the visit! And we are always down for showing off our ladies ☺️

Local food matters.

Farmers need to be protected.

This morning I got to spend a couple hours at Breezy Knoll Farm & Our Family Farms' processing center in beautiful Leyden.

I met lots of cows, including these sweet girls!

I also learned a lot about the incredible challenges and hurdles facing farmers today.

I believe that in this time of climate uncertainties, it is more important than ever for us to build resiliency within our local food supply.

Farming is a hard job and one that most people often take for granted. Most of all, it is a critical job and we owe farmers like Randy and Angie a debt of gratitude - and more support.

P.S.

When I owned Adams Donuts, Angie was very diplomatically persistent in pitching their half and half 😉 she brought me a sample and challenged me to compare to the half and half I was purchasing. I admit thinking, "it's half and half, how will it taste much different?"

Friends - there was NO comparison! It was so much more delicious. I switched my dairy to Our Family Farms shortly thereafter. I'd been telling myself Hood was sort of local. But once I committed to the switch, it definitely felt different, and better (not just the taste).

I'd like to formally challenge you all to a taste test! Go grab a bottle of Our Family Farms half and half and taste it side by side with whatever you're using now!

This Easter feels different for us.

As we celebrate the season of renewal and new life, we’re also carrying the weight of loss. We said goodbye to my mom just 2.5 weeks ago, and there’s an emptiness that words don’t quite fill. She was a part of everything—our family, our farm, and the heart behind so much of what we do.

And then there’s Carrot 🧡
A feisty little newborn calf, born this week, full of life and energy—reminding us in the most real way what this season is all about.

At the same time, this week has brought something incredible. We’re celebrating 3 years of processing our own milk, and somehow, in the middle of it all, we just had our biggest sales week yet. That doesn’t happen without the support of this community, and we don’t take that for granted for a second.

Farming is a life of contrasts—joy and exhaustion, growth and hardship, beginnings and endings—all woven together. This Easter, we’re feeling that more than ever.

We’re so proud of what we have built, and we’re grateful to every single one of you who chooses to support local milk, local families, and this way of life.

Hug your people a little tighter. Celebrate the small moments. And thank you for being part of our story.

Happy Easter 🤍
