Sassy: March 16, 2010 – August 16, 2010

(Brigette took this photo of Sassy last week.)
Sassy, short for Sassafras, was born March 16 with a severe cleft palate.  She was challenged from the beginning, being unable to nurse.  We knew that her odds weren’t all that great.
Of course she gained a special place in our hearts.  She was sweet and loving.  And, we [...]

Habanero Cheese – Version 2.0

We found some really fresh habanero peppers at the market last week.  That, combined with complaints that our first habanero cheese wasn’t hot enough, inspired us to give it another try.
We now have “Light My Fire” cheese version 2.0, soft cow cheese flavored with a delightful blend of habanero, Serrano, and jalapeno peppers, with just [...]

Quality Problem

If you’re shopping our website, you may notice fewer varieties than usual.  We had a busy weekend, selling cheese at Christmas in July and at the Cedar farmers market.  The result: we’re almost out of cheese!
It’s great to have a quality problem like that.  We appreciate everyone’s support.
And don’t worry: we’ll be making more cheese [...]

Cleft Palate Update

Sassy, our little girl with the cleft palate (left), is now over four months old.  She is learning to cope with her disability, which prevents her from eating as much as the other goats– even when we give her private snack time.  We give her nutritional supplements, too, but she just isn’t growing very fast.
I [...]

Whenever we sell cheese at events or farmers markets, we offer to put people on our mailing list. At Groovefest, the response was overwhelming: the size of our mailing list quadrupled!
That’s too many addresses to manage using Excel, as we have been doing, so we set up a Google [...]

Why Sodium Benzoate?

Several customers have asked us recently why our cheese contains sodium benzoate, a preservative.  Sodium benzoate generally considered safe, and is permitted in small quantities not only in the U.S., but also in the E.U. which generally is more strict with food purity.  But there are some scientists who suggest that sodium benzoate may be [...]

Independence Day First Aid

It never fails: when something bad happens, it’s on a holiday weekend.  We’ve seen this often enough to be prepared for it.  Whether it’s a dog getting caught on barbed wire (Pioneer Day, 2007) or gashing herself on a piece of ice (Christmas 2007), or a goat with a torn ear (Colombus Day, 2009), it [...]
