Home Dairy 101: Cow vs. Goat

The Big Question: Once you decide that raw milk is a priority for your family, how exactly do you acquire it? If you are like us, purchasing raw milk for human consumption is illegal in our state. In fact, Wyoming just barely starting officially "allowing" cowshare or goatshare programs. So unless we want to drive out of state, we are out of luck. So these reasons, combined with the fact that we are crazy do-it-yourself people, ...Continue Reading

Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

This is the ultimate fall indulgence! I adore cooking with pumpkin and we usually have completely gorged ourselves on everything 'pumpkin' by the time Christmas rolls around (pumpkin cream puffs anyone?). This smoothie was a new idea for this year- we will definitely be having it on a regular basis until we use up all of our garden pumpkins!
