How Raw Milk Cheese Boosts Your Immunity

Good morning,

Last week Dad did an excellent job with his analogy Of Raw Milk and Swimming. If we want to "relax and swim" with strong immunity and good gut health we'll need as much raw living food in our diet as possible.

Thousands of families have "learned to swim" with our Organically Pastured Raw Jersey Cow Milk... And we've helped many of them take the next step to make Raw Milk Kefir at home.

But sadly Big Brother Government gets in the way of many more families who would love to buy Raw Milk or Raw Milk Kefir.

If you live outside of PA, it's perfectly fine for you to come into PA and buy Raw Milk here and take it back to your home state. But it's illegal for us to transport the milk out of PA and deliver it to your local community. Maybe someday...

But today I have good news!

Raw Milk Cheeses have all the beneficial probiotic bacteria and enzymes (lactase and more) that Raw Milk is so well known for.

And it’s perfectly legal for us to send this RAW Cheese to anyone, anywhere in the nation!

Even if you can't access other raw gut-healing foods, at least Raw Cheese is one staple you can count on. It's perfect to use in so many ways from tacos and salads to sandwiches and burgers to eating plain on your next charcuterie snack board.

"So what exactly makes Raw Milk Cheese better than other cheeses?"

1. It is Truly RAW! Complete with all the natural living enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and healthy bacteria your body needs. Our Raw Milk Cheese is never warmed above cow's body temperature of 102° so you'll be sure to get all the natural nutrients living in Raw Milk.

2. Lactose Intolerant Friendly: Raw Milk Cheeses are usually easy to digest even for those who are Lactose Intolerant. This is because truly Raw Milk Cheese includes the enzyme lactase that is important for you body to metabolize carbohydrates and process lactose in the milk. Pasteurization disables the enzyme lactase and causes the all-too-common discomfort of Lactose Intolerance.

3. Packed with Vitamins and Protein: Each serving of Raw Milk Cheese supplies you with 7 grams of complete proteins and all nine essential amino acids. Plus it boosts your calcium and gives you vitamins A, B, D, E, and K. Do the research on how Vitamin K improves heart health and lowers calcium build up in your arteries and veins.

4. No Chemical Colorings: Our Raw Grass-fed Cow cheeses have a natural yellow tint due to the cow's diet of grass. The shade of yellow will vary throughout the year, but right now it's especially rich since our current cheese was made from milk produced during the summer or fall as the cows grazed on plenty of lush grass! Our Yellow Cheddar is naturally colored with Annatto Seed Extract.

5. No Wood Pulp or Fungicides: Grocery store shredded cheeses will sometimes include wood pulp (cellulose) as an anticlumping agent or Natamycin (WOW, read the comments) as a fungicide preservative. We never use either! If our shredded cheese clumps a little it's easy to shake it apart. We recommend freezing if you want to store the shredded cheese longer than a month.

Now you're probably impatient to grab some real Raw Milk Cheese, but I have one more thing to say...

Starting today we offer you our best prices of the year on Raw Milk Cheeses!

Welcome to: Raw Milk Cheese Savings Event!

Our cows were "extra happy" this year and they've blessed us with plenty of milk to make lots of Raw Milk Cheeses for you to enjoy! These volume savings options let you save more money on our cheese than ever before... and I'm not promising savings this amazing next year either. :)

This is one way we can thank each of you who chose to support our farm this year.

At the same time, we hope this Cheese Savings Event will make it possible for more people to begin the journey of eating gut-healing, immunity-building foods.

All the best,

Wesley

Beef Price Freeze for 2 weeks

Good morning Family Cow family! The last week here on the farm has been more like spring than early January, so we are enjoying every minute of it. :) It's the start of a new year and a new season of life for me. I haven't done very well with sharing farm stories in 2025 and so I plan to carve out more time to make it happen this year. A lot of exciting and crazy busy days over the last 12 months, but that's not a valid excuse. You trust us to grow nourishing food for your family and we will do our best to repay that trust by sharing as many farm life details as possible. Be sure to stay tuned for regular farm emails from me or maybe even my dad, Edwin, over the coming weeks... We have a lot of exciting news on the horizon! Today this email brings the one hard fact to announce... Seems the year shouldn't start like this, but I want to get it out of the way so we can save the best for last in coming emails. And this truly is the only negative point of what I plan to share. The next weeks are all full of exciting news and fun farm announcements. :) As we reviewed our 2025 financials, the niggling fears were sadly confirmed. Our beef margins have not kept up with inflating costs.Regenerative, 100% Grass-fed beef farming is beautiful and plays a key role in restoring health to our rescued farm land.But that's not enough. It must also be financially sustainable for family farms to continue from one generation to the next.Beef prices need to go up nearly 5% on average. Some items won't move at all but others, like burger and steaks, will bump more.Our family does not take any price correction lightly.In an effort to help make the change easier for everyone, we will freeze all beef prices at the current rate until January 27. Now is the chance to fill your freezer with 2025 Beef prices.Our family and team truly appreciates your understanding of the need to keep our cattle farming sustainable!All the best of food and blessings, Wesley~ 5th generation on the farm Real farmers. Real Caring. Real Food.YourFamilyFarmer.comP.S. Our frozen meats will easily last a year or more in your freezer. We recommend stocking up now. If a package becomes unsealed just use it first to avoid freezer burn taste.

Scranton, PA Why use Lard? It's a clean traditional fat like tallow and butter.Has a natural blend of the three types of fats: monounsaturated fat, saturated and polyunsaturated.7 Healthy Reasons to Eat Lard.Here is an article you'll find inspiring: 10 Reasons to Bring Lard Back   The Story Behind our Woodland Pork Lard: We don't waste anything on our farm. Especially when it comes to livestock. We respectfully use every bit of that animal to accomplish the most good possible. What can't be eaten is carefully turned into rich composted and given back to the soil to fuel plant growth and build organic matter.  What CAN be eaten falls into two categories. The first category is LOVED by all and basically needs to be rationed out.... For example, people will "fight" for the chance to eat juicy pastured pork chops, crispy bacon, savory sausages, or BBQ baby back ribs. But not everyone has as much love for the second category which makes up a sizeable portion of each pig. This category includes things like soup bones, knuckle bones, and LOTS of pork fat since we refuse to use the industry standard Ractopamine (Paylean) drug to keep our pigs artificially lean.  The good news is, we are able to render some of this excess fat into beautiful Woodland Pork Lard that now falls into the loved-by-all category! :) Lard is so versatile it's simple to use as a substitute for your everyday cooking oil. It adds pizazz to everything from simple breakfast fried eggs to homemade French fries. Lard is the secret ingredient your Grandma used for her delectable flaky pie crust. With our clean Pastured Pork Lard you can cook with confidence. No need to worry if it is Chemical-Free, GMO-Free, Antibiotic-Free, Hormone-Free, Soy-Free or Humanely Raised. We farm with integrity to give you the peace of mind you deserve at every meal.  Enjoy the lard!
