As the weather sways back and forth from Spring back to Winter and back to Spring again, we are beginning to feel life preparing to POP!!

Daffodils Bloom. Tree buds express. Grass is beginning to grow. Baby animals are being born.

On the farm, it’s time to wrap up all final winter fence and water system repair projects, test out the equipment and get ready for the next 6 months of rotational grazing and hay making.

Alvin’s Jersey’s are looking healthy and we’re ready for milk production to rise for making more of our Alpine Heritage Raw Organic A2 Grass Fed Cheeses which ya’ll have been eating as fast as we can make it!

John’s new farm assistant Wilbur is turning out to be a God-send. After another surgery, our other farm manager, Sam, is back in the saddle.

John and Verna’s new baby boy, Jeremiah, is growing strong. And, a few more guardian herd puppies joined us and are in training.

Thank you all for your condolences after our tragic loss last month. We are beginning to return to as normal as it can get after such heartbreak.

We are resilient and will keep on keeping on producing healthy pasture raised meats and cheeses for our community with the confidence that the beautiful spirits who left us are at home with God and in our hearts.

The Sun Will Rise Again

I was having a difficult time getting excited about Spring. Even with the pure white Dogwoods, the Eastern Redbuds bursting along the highway, the Daffodils and Forsythia blossoming and bedazzling, the baaa-ing new baby lambs, and the pasture so ready to burst with new life, I still was feeling dull and depressed. Here at Burke’s Garden, we buried several of our good friends and members of our farm family.

What Type of Rennet Do We Use in Our Cheesemaking?

What is Rennet? There are traditionally four ingredients in cheese - milk, salt, rennet, and culture starter. Rennet is used as a clotting agent to curdle the milk into cheese, separating the liquid parts of milk from the solids. It’s an essential part of the cheese-making process.;
