Product Labels
|
|
What they mean for consumers
Red Label Cheeses and Products
The items in our dairy cases printed on a red label is
our way of letting our customers know that these
products come from milk produced without the use of
added growth hormones (rBST). The cheeses we
offer come from Edelweiss, Deppler, Chalet, Cedar
Grove, Babcock, and Swiss Heritage.
White Label Cheeses and Products
The white label simply means the product comes from
larger, commercial creameries, where
the milk comes from thousands of cows, which may or
may not be from treated cows.
If you have questions, please ask.

Super Bowl Sunday

|
February 1st
Super Bowl Sunday is scheduled for Sunday, February 1.
Remember to pick up your cheeses and meats for your
snacking enjoyment. We' also have ice cream, cakes

Milk and Cold Weather
|
|
Watch for freezing
Milk that is being transported in your trunks or pick-up
boxes stands a chance of freezing.
Milk that has been frozen will have a different taste,
although is is safe to drink.
Refrigerators in cold garages will also freeze milk.

Cow of the Month
|
|
Laos
January's Cow of the Month is Laos. She is 5 years old
and has had two females and one bull in her lifetime.
She is due to have another calf July 30. Laos is a nice
looking animal, possessing important cow traits: good
feet and legs and a nice udder. That udder has
produced 77,484 pounds of milk in her lifetime and
3,050 pounds of butterfat. Laos is a quiet individual
and she minds her own business. One thing that's
special about Laos is that she has the Black/Red
carrier recessive gene. This means that 50% of her
offspring will be born Red and White, but as they grow
older they will become Black and White. It's very
interesting to watch them change color!
