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!
Olex Carrigan shared a yummy looking recipe for Fresh Corn Quiche with Bacon and Caramelized Onions! Olex used a frozen pie crust, 1 cup of fresh corn, 1 small caramelized onion, 3 strips of crisp and crumbled bacon and a generous handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Add eggs and milk and you’re on your way to a quiche-deliche! Mix it up with other CSA additions!
Fellow Springdellian Dawn Demeo shared this tantalizing photo (below) of the fate of her corn in this Fresh Cornbread recipe from Cooks Illustrated! Check out more of her works at dawndemeophotography.com. Thanks for sharing, Dawn!
A simple and yummy use of collard greens, we took this Sunday Dinner on the road!
