The day finally came when we got these "small" pieces of paper in our mailbox!
We have been waiting many long months for this day and Thank The Lord we made it! On these papers it says that we are now a Grade A Raw Milk Dairy. And if you're not sure what that means... We are now able to SELL our milk. We are currently working at getting our milk into the local health food stores, co-ops, and farmers markets. We are now using our bottling machine, and we don't have to wash jars anymore since we are distributing in plastic! It makes it so handy, and a lot less work. :)
Happy Farmers! :)

| Before our monsoons start it often gets very dry... this year the dryness has been pretty bad. Lightning started this fire on a mountain very close to us. Till they got it out it burnt a total of 15,230 acres burning a few houses in it's path! |
 |
| It was sad to see it burning! :( |
 |
| Mom broke her record of how much butter she could make at one time. |
 |
| She made 22lbs of butter in one day! |
Congratulations! So happy you got through all the building, inspections, and paperwork! Been praying for you that it would all work out. The Lord bless ya'll! By the way those tubs of butter look amazing!
