Raw Milk Products Win Again!

Just take a quick look at this article (found at MSN) about some funky butter. Although my Grammy always swore that butter was the best things for a burn, I don't think she meant it would SAVE me from getting burned.

I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter (because it’s also flame-retardant)

This is one more reason to save your cream each week and make your own butter! We've shared with you before how easy it is to make your own butter right at home. If you don't want to do it our way, you can also just pour your cream right into your blender- it takes at least half the time that way. (I'm just a purist I guess)

It really is so simple and just so darn yummy! The health benefits are wonderfully rich as well

So here's to our beautiful Jersey Girls! They've done it again!
