Happy June 1st and Happy Dairy Month! 🥛🐑
I have to say, I appreciate dairy farmers a whole lot more after realizing how much work goes into milking an animal every day. It’s definitely not as simple as just collecting milk!
We decided to try making butter from our sheep milk. After a little Googling, we learned that the cream needs to be separated from the milk first, so we used a milk separator. While people traditionally used a butter churn, we let the KitchenAid do the heavy lifting. 🧈😄
It’s pretty neat seeing milk go from the animal, to the pail, and then into something we can use in the kitchen.
June is going to be a busy one around here with the garden, animals, farmers markets, and all the fun that comes with summer, but we’re excited for it!
What are you looking forward to this month? 🌱☀️🐓🐑
