raised milk cows to supply their
needs and to tend market with all
the goodies that come from milk
and butter. I was a city girl until I
married 45 years ago. I have since
become a very good cook and /
have a following for my delicious
chicken corn and salmon soups. /

We bought our 120-acre farm
two years ago after a long prayer
ful search of 40 farms. Our farm
name, Yahweh Dairy, comes from
the Old Testament name for God,
Yahweh, who led the Israelites
through their 40-year prayerful
search for their Promised Land.
We milk about 35 Jerseys and
Holsteins. All four of us are
involved with showing Jerseys.

as well. The whole family, even
grandparents, pitch in with the
