A little on the cows.

Here in early August we are having some awesome weather that is great for both cattle and people. This picture was taken on one of the most beautiful summer evenings. Our milking herd of 53 cows and 1 bull (all trained to pose for a photo shoot) are really enjoying the tall lush grass after the evening milking.

They will stay in this paddock until we bring them in for the morning milking around 4:30 AM. They get moved to a fresh paddock with tall green grass 2 to 5 times daily. We also have 15 young cows called heifers that will calve and start milking when they are 24 to 30 months old. A few will calve this fall and the rest next spring and summer.

We also have 9 baby calves born this spring that are still nursing with their mothers.

The milk from our A2/A2, 100% grass fed, certified organic cows is made into delicious, 100% raw milk cheese at our onsite farm creamery called Alpine Heritage Creamery. All of our cows have been tested for A2/A2. We only use Organic Animal Rennet in our cheese making.

We craft 8oz and 2.5 pound blocks of cheese and ship them to all 50 states. We also have gift packages and bulk bundle pricing available. The other day we had a request from Alberta Canada, asking about our Delicious and Nutritious cheeses and wanted to see if we could ship to them. We are in the process of working out the logistics, stay tuned. Our newest flavors include No Salt Cheddar, Kosher Cheddar and Cranberry Cheddar.

It’s harvest time in Paradise. Last week we began picking tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, pickle cukes, zucchini, red beets, and carrots. Watermelon will be ready soon.

It’s time for the last planting of green beans and cold weather crops - cabbage, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and brussels sprouts. We are also planting some diverse cover crops soon- oats, Sudan grass, daikon radish, and turnips.

We use some family heirloom seeds and mostly buy from the local greenhouse. We apply Epsom Salt and kelp amendments and mulch heavily with hay. We don’t use pesticides. We pick the potato bugs off the plants by hand.

Our family favorites are zucchini, squash, lettuce, and cucumbers. We produce mainly for our family’s use and enjoyment. Although, we will have some of our extra produce for sale in our farm store along with our delicious cheeses.

And stay tuned, as we hope to have our grass fed beef, pork, chicken, and turkey available in the farm store sometime next week.

A little bit about the puppies

Our 7 miniature Labradoodle puppies were born June 5th, 2023 to the delight of our family, Alvin and Sadie, Ruthie age (13), Anne (12), Marlin (10), Rosa (6) and Karen (1).

The puppies mother is Luna, (F1 Miniature Labradoodle) she weighs 28 lbs., and the father is Prince (Miniature Poodle) and he is 12 lbs. These wonderfully exciting cute little puppies love to play and interact with our whole family especially the smallest children. Their health records are up to date and they all have a clean bill of health from the vet. We provide a 2 yr. genetic health guarantee. Their expected mature weight is 15 to 26 lbs. The puppies are now ready to go to their forever homes as they have turned 8 weeks old.

$850 each

The Greenwashing of Our Foods – Part 2

Last year, I wrote an article titled The Greenwashing of the Organic Food Movement.Click here if you missed it, wish to read it again, or to listen to my podcast with Holistic Hilda. I share many valuable resources that you may want to access.For many years, humans and animals have lived quite robustly without disease, strong and happy on unadulterated animal products and plants in their most natural state. A hundred years ago, there was no such thing as organic because most farms and food were organic.Nowadays, finding food or growing food without chemicals is nearly impossible. We are at war with governments, corporations, media propaganda, and peer pressure. Cancer, auto-immune disease, weak bones, mental disorder, autism, dental cavities, SIDS, Downs-Syndrome, eczema, allergies, depression, diabetes, heart disease, ADHD are epidemic. Every year the AMA announces some new, unnamed unique disease. We have a hard time walking a block, yet alone reproducing.The health of our society and most importantly our children is failing. Disease is epidemic and humans and animals have become dependent on artificial life support from drugs, surgeries, and machines.Click here to listen to my latest podcast with the Appropriate Omnivore. Listen to the Podcast Here I spotlight the allowable exemptions in the USDA organic standards that include chemicals, de-beaking, and irradiation as well as standard practices in the organic produce, grain, meat processing, fishing, and honey bee industry.Did you know that if your organic grains and potatoes won’t sprout, they were likely irradiated?Towards the end, I discuss the current USDA mandated vaccination policy of our American wildlife, the laws in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho that require the vaccination of ALL cattle heifers, and the current air-drop vaccination programs across the U.S. How are shellfish treated? Click Here to watch how our shellfish are “Depurated” ie. sterilized both chemically and with radiation to protect us from harmful microbes. They are bathed in chlorinated, anti-microbial water for 2-3 days and irradiated to kill the bacteria before they ship to your grocery store to ensure we get sanitary, bacteria-free food. What they don’t disclose is that the microbes are there to decompose the toxic chemicals from industry in our waterways. And, their depuration process does NOT remove any heavy metals, petroleum, or chemicals from the shellfish. Thus, it is more likely that if someone was to get sick from seafood, it is from eating the chemical pollutants, not from the fish or the microbes. Scallops without any additives are called "dry-packed", while scallops that are treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) are called "wet-packed". STPP causes the scallops to absorb moisture prior to the freezing process, thereby increasing their weight. So, buy shellfish directly from the fisher or dry- packed, and don't eat from the Gulf of Mexico, near big cities, or toxic waste dumps like the James River in VA or New Jersey or Boston. Best to procure from PEI, Maine, NC, and a few select places in the Pacific Northwest.Currently, oysters are NOT depurated. So, go with oysters over clams, scallops, or mollusks.Clean food and healthy children or going extinct, however, I’m an “apocaloptimist”. It doesn’t look good, but in the long run, good will prevail.It takes vision, perseverance, courage, and hard work to find and grow food that is actually food.Are you down for the challenge? A healthy future for our children, aligned with the wisdom of nature, depends on us. If you want clean food, Burke’s Garden Farm and Alpine Heritage Creamery are both “Beyond Organic”. All our animals are outdoors getting fresh grass, haylage, grubs, sunshine, fresh air, and fresh water from the creeks and springs in a high-elevation circular valley surrounded by mountains, protected from city or industrial pollution. Simply Grassfed animals DO NOT eat GMO feeds or receive Growth Hormones. All our dairy cows are tested A2/A2 Beta-CaseinAll our cheeses are made with NON-GMO-Pfizer rennets. Click Here to read moreAll our cheeses are raw, never exceeding 102 degrees.Our butcher cleans our meat with either apple cider vinegar or water.We ship our products in biodegradable or recyclable cardboard insulated boxes in the Winter and ship with dry-ice when we can to minimize the plastic gel packs filling up the landfill.
