My name is Kathy and Pm a
first-time entry fan. I’ve
skimmed through Section B for
years and have gotten many
great recipes. Your picture of
the many Holsteins caught my
eye. At the time I was making
soup and thought, “Hey, why
not?”
My husband Richard and I
are lucky enough to have a
180-acre farm. It is simply our
little piece of Paradise. We
milk approximately 40 cows
from 1985-1998. With rising
health insurance costs, I got a
job off the farm. Three years
later with drought, low milk
prices, and rising costs, my hus
band sold the last of the cows
in March 1998. What a hard
decision. He also has gotten a
full-time job and farms the
land at night and weekends.
I’m not complaining, I’m
thankful for the time we had
and look forward to spending
more time with Richard and
not working at the same time.
Ha!
As an ex-dairy farmer, I’m
still pushing milk to everyone I
know. (Good for business).
Most of my recipes have dairy
products in them.
I have a nice size asparagus
patch, so I make many dishes
with asparagus. We love it.
