This is a special recipe of my

fond memories of our dairy farm in
Sugar Valley. We had plenty of
milk so we made ice cream often.
Tea berry was one of my favorites
and we can’t get it here Southeast
Colorado where I’ve made my
home for nearly 14 years.
I have two daughters, Justine, 9,
and Mikaela Jo, 1, who are both
little balls of fire who love animals
and living in the country. Justine
has rodeoed since she was 6 and
has won numerous trophies and
ribbons.
We will all have a big change as
we’re moving back to the family
farm next month so I can help my
parents with the farm work and
they can help me with the girls.
We’ll be moving our two quarter
horses, 2 dogs, and a cat as well.
My parents, Joe and Doris Heg
gcnstaller, have gotten Lancaster
Farming since I was a Utile girl on
the farm. My mom told me of the
recipe contest and sent a stamped
addressed envelope so I’d enter!
