Join us this week for a surprisingly fun talk about cow breeds! Steph shares the popular dairy breeds and Tara tells us about the dual purpose breed. And just for fun, find out which breeds now reside on our wish lists!
This week's shoutout goes to the amazing Passamaquaddy Maple in Jackman Maine! This indigenous run business is hitting it out of the park with amazing maple syrup. So much so, Tara and Steph both ordered immediately! Find them at Passamaquoddy Maple Syrup
