This is a challenging time for all of America and now, more than ever, we need to come together as a community and country. Over the last year the dairy industry has seen some of the worst markets in history and the hits just keep on coming. These local dairy families are the most honest, hard working, and compassionate people you could ever meet. Please consider your drink choices and go for milk!! If you have children and your school district is offering meals, take advantage of it and get the milk to keep the supply chain moving.

WARNING for any of our swimming pooches (and their owners)!! Many parts of the country are experiencing severe problems with toxic blue-green algae blooms. We are not currently aware of any active problems in our area but they can occur without warning. Please read the CDC informational page below if you have a pet that swims in any, natural, body of water. Watch for the warning signs of an algae bloom and avoid the water if you are not sure that it is safe. https://www.cdc.gov/habs/index.html

Congratulations to our friends at Pleasant Lane Farms!!
