When I was growing up, my best friend lived on a dairy farm. Every day after school, we would ride the bus to her house and her mom would babysit me until my mom got home from work.
I can’t even describe the adventures that we had! We would climb the sand dunes, play with the baby cows, run around her property. It was honestly one of the best times of my life.
There’s nothing like drinking fresh milk from the farm, which is why I still love to order raw milk for my own family.
When my son was a baby, I used to go to a farm every Saturday morning, we would play with the cows, and bring home 2 gallons of fresh, raw milk. One gallon would be for drinking and the other would be for making raw milk yogurt.
