At Springdell during our winter share we are fortunate enough to receive our milk from our friends at Tully Farms Dairy in Dunstable, MA. Check them out at www.highlawnfarm.com. So if it’s lowfat milk, chocolate milk, half and half or another selection, we are fueling our bodies with nutritious local milk all through the winter. Milk is, for me, a product that is very obvious when it is fresh and local, you can really taste the difference!
Milk is wonderful for our bodies. It is one of the best sources of calcium and is filled with vitamin D, which naturally helps our bodies absorb the calcium. Milk is a helper for our strong bones and teeth. Milk helps keep us hydrated while improving our vitamin intake. All in all, keep drinking friends!
Thanks to a single cow, one cow alone can:
In order to produce so much milk we can enjoy, cows eat about 100 pounds of food a day and enjoy up to 50 gallons of water a day too!
This hearty New England tradition is all the better when made with fresh and hearty New England ingredients! Salt pork is used in my Nan’s version, but I find bacon ends to be even better (plus, they don’t leave the house smelling so icky). You won’t find clam juice on the “staples” list in Veggiescope, so be sure to pick up 2 cups worth before starting this recipe.
This is a great one for those that are unsure of lamb. The recipe can be easily halved.
Break into your freezers, it’s time the summer corn shines in this comforting chowder!
