What is going on at the Farm?
We are excited that our two year journey to Whole Foods was completed last Wednesday. Old Windmill Dairy Chevre can now be found at the Carlisle and Academy stores in Albuquerque. We are currently going through a test phase as Whole Foods is entering our bar codes and determining our price structure. It is our goal to have our cheese in the Santa Fe store early Spring of 2009. You may also find our cheese in the Whole Foods in Colorado as early as June 2009.
If you travel to the Houston area of Texas you might be delighted to know our Gouda and Prairie Cloud reserve maybe served in some of the cities finer restaurants. We are still working on the logistics but we are very hopeful.
Food for Thought
We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.
Zesty Wassail
Try this cheerful wintery wonderful Wassail. While most recipes use pineapple juice, I much prefer orange and lime juice. For additional spice add one star anise to this mixture.
2 quarts organic apple cider
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 oranges, sliced
2 lemons, sliced
Mix all ingredients and bring just to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, or leave on the lowest heat (or in a slow cooker) to keep warm. Serve with orange or lemon slices, or a cinnamon stick. It is very tastey.
Respectfully
Dairyman Ed
