When you see our new HDPE bottles in Winter Ridge, Pilgrim's Market, and Yoke's Fresh Markets, and Mitchell's Harvest Foods in Priest River you will notice a big "WARNING:" on the label.

This warning is required by Idaho administrative rules governing raw milk. Our warning is exactly in compliance with the rule including point size. Here is what the rule states, "The signal word “WARNING” shall appear in capital letters of ten point type or greater. The remaining text of the warning shall be printed in capital letters of six point type or greater."

We also have a "BATCH TESTED" seal on the label. Learn more about what this seal means and how we assure quality, low-risk raw milk here:

Sheila had Sirius this afternoon.

One year ago, Sheila was heavy pregnant bred to sexed semen and was coming up to "dry off" (the start of her pre-calving vacation).

We put her in the chute to preg check her and all was well, and that night she aborted a premature heifer calf.

She bred back quickly to conventional semen and here we are a year later. Her last calf is named Surely and is a pregnant heifer due in May.

Now we have this beautiful blessing. Sirius. As in Surely you can't be Sirius.

Jazzi says good morning.

She is 32 days old. Jezza is her mom.

Since Jazzi was born, we've had Keleigh, Danish (mom is Donut), and Flower also add to the heifer calf group.

This year, we've had 21 calvings so far, with 22 live calves (one set of twins).

Of the 22 calves, 17 are heifers - meaning they have future careers as A2A2 Guernsey dairy cows making the best milk available.

A Danish for Donut.

We have a driver position available. Historically, this position has stayed filled for 2 to 3 years at a time, but we had our long-time driver go to retirement and the subsequent replacement decided it's not the best fit.

Experience we desire:
- Previous experience as a Delivery Driver or in a similar role is preferred
- Familiarity with refrigerated vans and handling temperature-sensitive products is a plus
- Excellent customer service skills with the ability to interact professionally with customers
- Strong knowledge of route driving and navigation skills
- Ability to handle physical demands of the job, including lifting heavy items if necessary - milk crates up to 50 pounds each.

You will be delivering product to grocery stores and stocking shelves on the sales floors at these stores. You will be the face of our dairy to the store staff and managers. You will be collecting empty glass bottles to return to the farm and will be adjusting invoices as necessary to account for the returns.

Delivery vehicle is a Ford E350 Econoline refrigerated van and commercial drivers license is not required. A clean driver record is a must.

The delivery routes generally take 3 to 6 hours to complete from start to finish depending on the route. We do delivery on the local routes 4 days per week, including Saturday, and the longer route is a 9 hour route to Moscow and Lewiston. This route is on Thursday. Specific delivery days are:
Tuesday at 07:30 AM, up to a 6 hour route includes Athol, Rathdrum, Post Falls, Coeur d Alene, and Hayden. Start time is flexible a bit if weather dictates changes.
Wednesday 07:30 AM, up to a 6 hour route includes Oldtown, Sandpoint, and Bonners Ferry. Start time is flexible a bit if weather dictates changes.
Thursday 07:00 AM. 9 hour route to Moscow and Lewiston. This route includes two deliveries that are direct to consumer and the start time is inflexible. In fact, if weather or road conditions dictate, it may be necessary to leave earlier than 07:00 AM.
Friday at 07:30 AM. Route and time required are the same as Tuesday.
Saturday at 1:30 PM. Route to Oldtown and Sandpoint. This route is our shortest route and takes 3 to 4 hours.
For all shifts, upon returning to the farm, bottles get unloaded by the driver into the bottling plant. Total hours per week will be around 31 to 33.

If you have an interest in this position and think you are a good fit, please message this page or email [email protected]

Kelsi had Keleigh this afternoon. She did require some assistance from farmer Paul.

Keleigh is our 14th heifer calf born this year out of 18 calvings so far.

Happy Birthday Keleigh, and good job Kelsi!

We have been clearing hazard trees from near the buildings so we don't have to worry about 60 mph winds blowing trees onto buildings, equipment, or cows.

This is Paul pushing over a 100 foot tall, 26 inch diameter base, Ponderosa Pine. Video by Debra.

If you are interested, we put a lot of long form video on our YouTube channel, and we have over 30 minutes of video from inside the cab of this Cat 330 and working with the chainsaws recently posted.
