PostHeaderIcon Concerned Citizens Buy Cows to Save Organic Dairy Farm

Inspiring news story of a town’s efforts to save and re-establish an organic dairy farm. Friends of Town Farm Dairy in Simsbury, Connecticut, raised funds to purchase seven organic Jersey cows to ensure enough production for town-owned Town Farm Dairy to survive and serve the poor, a condition of the deed from the owner who willed the farm to the town in the late 19th century. Small dairy farms across America are vanishing as land prices escalate and the return on dairy farming goes down. Town Farm Dairy is bucking that trend. The news story has pretty pictures of this New England organic farm and, of course, sweet, brown-eyed cows doing what cows love to do…eat hay…lots of hay. Thank you to WTIC-TV, Fox 61 in Hartford, CT, which gave permission to upload this video.

Today’s Legal Headline News Stories…

The United States cyclist Floyd Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs, but the fallout from his doping case has lingered.

PostHeaderIcon Milk Comes From Grieving Mothers – Truth About Organic Dairy

Lena, a mother cow’s perspective of her experience as a dairy cow.
The truth about organic dairy.

From Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative:
“Economically, it is not possible for farmers to keep retired cows on the farm…. Organically raised cows will stay a part of the herd for an average of 6-8 years verses conventionally raised cows who only average 4 years….” (PPS: this means that organically raised cows have two more years of emotional and physical suffering and two more of their newborn babies stolen from them and murdered for Veal).

“We require that the packing plants (another word for slaughterhouse) get certified before we will do business. This means that our animals must be processed (brutally slaughtered) separately with clean equipment. This also means that they cannot use chemicals or pesticides in the plant.”

PostHeaderIcon How To Make Stage One Organic Baby Food: Carrots

You can use what ever kind of carrots you want.. Peeled or unpeeled, whole or baby, organic or not.. It’s up to you and your preferences.. I chose organic and already peeled and cut because it is easier.. I think the bag was 2 dollars and the breasmilk was free.. I used about 3- 3.5 oz of breastmilk but you can substitute half of it for water or formula if desired.. You can also add more than what I did to achieve a thinner consistency or less liquid for stage 2 or 3 baby foods.. More homemade baby foods to come.. When it is time I will be doing stage 2 and 3 baby food videos as well.. Enjoy! =)
