Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese.

This week is MoonShadow and MoonGlow! This is one of my favorite shares to send out. You get to see and taste the difference that what the cows are eating makes on the milk and the cheese! Our cows are 100% grass-fed, so that means they eat only hay (dry grass all winter) or fresh pasture. They don’t eat any grain. The MoonShadow was made at the beginning of the season, before pasture has come in and the cows are eating hay in early April of last year. The MoonGlow was made just a couple months later in early June, same recipe, but with the cows grazing on fresh pasture. Both cheeses are super yummy! But the MoonGlow is much more golden and with grassier flavors. We milk seasonally, so we don’t have much cheese made when cows are eating only hay as we dry them off during the Winter and start milking again in March and April. I think it’s really fun and educational to see the difference! Next week I’ll be sending cheese curds and our cheddar style cheese.

On the Farm.

Early this delivery morning we got a call that our yearlings had gotten out and taken a walk to our neighbors who are about a mile away. Early morning cow wrangling and walking cows home down the road is an exciting way to start the day!

Last week was lots of weeding getting done. Josh says everything is looking great!

We remind you that you can come out and visit on July 16 as part of the Co-op Farm Tour. We will have food, tours, and fun times! Hope to see you!
