Family Cow/Home Dairying Workshop

On Saturday, May 1st I will be offering a workshop on keeping a family cow. Workshop will run from 3-7pm, and cover these topics:

Organic/Holistic approaches to cow care
Milking/chores
Pasturing/feed
Home Dairying (making cheese, yogurt, kefir, etc)

Participants will leave with some tasty dairy products. Cost will be $30/person. Please no children under the age of 12. Space limited to 5 people.

I currently milk two Jersey cows by hand. They are raised organically and are 99.9% grass-fed. I also have experience as a commercial cheesemaker and have worked on dairies in Wisconsin and Vermont.

If you have ever thought of purchasing a cow for your family, wanted to make dairy products at home, our are just interested in learning, feel free to send me an email to staghornfarm at gmail.com or call 608-632-4480 (cell). Thanks!
