Greetings! Alaska Center for Acupuncture has returned from a fall break. We will be sending a link to view pictures from our trip to Scotland and England in our upcoming e-newsletter. Many people find that the transition into the winter months can be challenging with shorter days, changing schedules, holiday planning and greater susceptibility to colds and flu. If you want to sail through the season with less stress and greater focus, give us a call to schedule a seasonal tune-up treatment.  Kevin and Sam

Cottonwood Creek has fantastic fresh raw goat's milk & milk products, compliments of Daphne & Sierra, our two beautiful Alpine does. We also have farm-fresh eggs (brown and green!) from our flock of twenty laying hens. Milk products include yogurt, kefir, and gourmet ice cream (sweetened with sugar, honey, or your choice of sweeteners by special request). Weekly delivery is available to Wasilla and Palmer. If you've never tasted fresh goat's milk you are in for both a treat and a surprise. Some of the myths you may have heard about goats are: 1) Goats eat anything (on the contrary, they are very fussy and discriminating and won't touch anything they perceive as dirty or yucky). 2) Goats are stinky (only intact bucks have a musky smell, and only during the fall and winter mating season months. Our girls are housed well away from the buck, so neither they nor their milk smell like him). 3) Goat milk has a funky flavor (generally the opposite -- most people's faces light up in amazement at the fresh sweet delicious taste! Only milk that has been handled poorly, not cooled properly, or gotten old in the frig will develop an off-flavor). To read more about raw milk products visit: Each state has different laws regarding the sale of raw milk, generally depending on the political clout of that state's dairy industry and its lobbyists. Currently in Alaska, state regulations permit the sale of raw dairy products for pets, (of course there is no law prohibiting the consumption of dog food by humans!) or through a goat-share program, in which individuals desiring raw milk products sign an agreement similar to a lease with the goat owner, thereby entitling them to drink the milk from "their" goat. For more information on goat milk products call 863-1276, or email us at packnmilk@ak.net.
