 Meet LaFonda, our ever-generous milk-cow, and her calf, Lindyhop. 

When we first got here, LaFonda was producing 3 gallons of milk a day--not counting what Lindy drank.  Now, as Lindy gets bigger and more hungry, we get more like 2.  Nonetheless... that's a LOT of milk.  Wanna guess what the fridge looks like?

And that's not counting the fridge out in the barn, which is TOTALLY full of milk!  Needless to say, figuring out what to do with all of that dairy is a daily chore.  Today I made ice-cream, frozen yogurt, mozzerella, and cream cheese.  We had the mozz (which only takes a half-hour to make and is really fun!) and the frozen yogurt with dinner--the ice-cream and cream cheese will be ready (and good, I hope) tomorrow. 

This milk... let me tell you.  It's good milk.  It's raw, so there's some amount of risk, but Sue takes lots of percausions to make sure nothing nasty gets into it.  It is so rich and flavorful that I don't think I'll be able to go back to plain-ole watery bland skim.  If you ever want to take some off of our hands, just come visit and we'll load you down with dairy products!
