I know it's been a little quite over here but we have been working hard and are getting back in the swing of things. As of today we've had 2 out of 2 clean milk samples and waiting on results from the third. (should know tomorrow) I plan on being more active here again but for now just wanted to sha...
One big reason there has been rise in the local farmers producing and selling directly to friends, neighbors, and other members of the community is that people have become more skeptical of big ag and how their food is produced. You all want to know how your food is produced and where it comes from....
There are two kinds of northerners. Those that can't wait to move to warmer climates, away from the months of snowy days, the subzero temperatures, and the often snowy, cloudy days. Then there are those that not only deal with the winters, but embrace and love them. The crisp clean air, crunchy snow...
Today is finally colder and a bit windy. Roughly 18 inches of snow fell on the farm yesterday which is the heaviest snowfall for us this winter season. Generally by this time of year we've already had 6 to 8 weeks of single digit or colder weather. But this winter has been incredibly warm. January w...
Producing raw milk for customers is a lot of work. It's much harder than just milking the cow, chilling it down in the bulk tank and shipping it away on a truck. Good customers want to know where their raw milk comes from, how the cows are raised, what they are fed and such. If the milk tastes like ...

On Mondays and Saturdays we will have milk bottled and ready to go so you can just stop by. Of course we are also open during the week for anyone who wants to stop by, just giv...
The focus here at WintersGrass Farm is to produce the best 100% Grassfed Raw Milk and Beef that we possible can and I believe we are well on our way to accomplishing that. However, many of you have been asking for some other products and the one that stands out right now is eggs.
So I'm thrilled to...
Last week I noticed one of our milkers kept coming into milking already empty. All the cows have been milking pretty good this winter but demand for our 100% Grassfed Raw milk has been increasing and I've been counting on every little bit. Especially since this cow has been a good milker at 3 to 4 g...
Check out this video of feeding time with the dairy herd. As a 100% Grassfed raw milk dairy we don't feed any grain. But living in cold central New York State, one of the snowiest parts of the country, it's not possible to graze the cows on pasture year round. So I talk a little about what we do.

In The Field Consultants talks about the problem many new farmers ( or possibly this is true of many entrepreneurs) have of taking too much on and burning themselves out.
"Most farmers do not have problems getting up early and getting their hustle on. It is the shutting down and drawing a line in t...
