Brrr!!!! Cold morning as we milk and do chores on the Winter Solstice. We love today because it means the days will start getting longer. Hope you are safe and warm wherever you are! Thanks for visiting!
Clover Mountain Dairy is an Organic dairy farm in northeast Washington State an hour north of Spokane.

Rose was playing in the snow mama! 😂 there are so many impressive things about you two but the thing that always warms my heart is how respectful you are to your animals. ❤

This was a wonderful way to mark the Winter solstice. Now we make the reciprocal swing towards longer daylight. Love your stove. Merry Christmas my friends.🌲

Thank you for the lovely video of your farm and milking your cows. I enjoyed both the sunrise and sunset on my personal favorite day of the year. As the days will start to get longer, I know spring will be just around the corner 🪴.

Thanks for the video today. The cows all seemed to be happy and well adjusted. I love your small milking operation. Wish we could buy your cheese products but alas, we live in Arizona so it would be a bit of a drive to pick it up. Supposed to be 70 for the high on Christmas Day here. Happy Holidays to you both.

Buckets are definitely fine for our herd right now, but we’re growing. We always designed for a pipeline… carrying the buckets up the steps out of the pit is no fun. But, we’ll still definitely keep the bucket milkers for backup. We want both options available to us. Thanks for watching!

We would like to upgrade someday. We’re leaning towards a Bar-Bar-A as no external power source is required. We have a couple friends with them, and they work well.

on a cold day like that how cold does it get in the cheese cave? Do you have lots of cheese in it? It was in the 40s today here in Ct and is going to be 60 on friday with rain, no white christmas here.😁
@vnthomas16
@vnthomas16 Жыл бұрын
The cheese cave has been remarkably consistent in temperature regardless of outside temperature. It’s 42° right now, which is a little cooler than we’d like (We’d prefer around 50°) but it’s still workable . We have a decent amount of cheese in there, but we did sell some for the upcoming holidays.

Hi, I don't know if you saw the sad news from over here in Jersey, a local farmer lost around 100 jersey cows over a few days, they are now trying to figure out what caused the deaths :(
