URGENT!!!
Due to a fire north of Bend there is no power at Locavore. So if you can pick up as soon as possible and be extra conscious of shutting the door quickly.
As a reminder, cultured milk still has tons of fabulous uses!

if we can help further please message or text!

At its most basic, clabbered milk can be made by allowing fresh, unpasteurized milk to sour and thicken. You absolutely must use raw, unpasteurized milk to make true and safe clabbered milk.

Winter reminder 😊 Kombucha will form a scoby. Sourdough starter bubbles. Raw milk has butter. Real foods have quirks. We noticed this the other night. As the weather is changing and getting cooler, the butter in the milk is starting to solidify during processing. So if you see these little yellow dots in your milk, don't worry, it's natural and part of real, raw milk.

If you haven't met her, this is Tula. Cutest little troublemaker 💜

Meet Shaggy! She's not new to the farm but she has a fun story. We got her a little over two years ago and she every bit lived up to her name. She was skinny, had tufts of longer hair here and there, and honestly she looked terrible. She was pregnant when we got her and she miscarried a few months later. We weren't sure what her future was going to look like. Fast forward to now! She had a beautiful baby girl last month and she looks absolutely amazing and healthy 💜💜💜

Story time!
Our family doesn't get away from the farm much. We have a yearly blueberry picking trip with cousins that means the world to our kids and we make it a priority. So we managed 3 days away from the farm and the due date of our latest cow fell on one of them. We decided to risk it and went anyways and prayed that the Lord would keep the cow from calving until we got back. Nothing happened and we made it home thankful that he answered our prayers. The day we got back we went to bring the cows from the far side of the field in for milking. We found her lying on her side barely breathing. She had gotten milk fever (nearing birth or right after they can dump all their calcium into their milk leaving none to be used in the body and without supplementation they will die). Worst I'd ever seen it, as she was not even responsive. Gave her an IV and she started responding minimally, while we were getting another we saw a calf in the tall grass about 50 yards away. She had given birth to a little boy on the farthest edge of the field! Brought him in from the field, got another IV bottle in her and we finally got her sitting up. After that she perked up quickly and has since made a full recovery. Calf got some frozen colostrum last night and fresh this morning. Praising God that we found her just in time and everything turned out well 💜

FINALLY we've got babies popping out like crazy around here 😂😂

04/02/2023

After all kinds of drama this (huge) little one FINALLY made her appearance after lingering a whole 20 days past her due date. She's adorable but her first couple days have been interesting! She came with an odd lump on her back that has yet to be explained and today she finally took some wobbly steps! The kids voted to name her Mango since her Mama's name is Peaches 😂
