Last year we received funding from Frontera Farmer Foundation. Through these funds, we were able to set up our pasture fences, buy milking machine equipment, and finally build a milk processing room. Our final project with Frontera was to apply for raw milk sales permit with the State of Illinois Department of Public Health. We began this process in late March, and our first inspection occured on April 12. Inspectors sent a good report that our farm has complied with infrastructure requirements. HOWEVER the inspectors wish a visit once the milking season begins. Kidding Season begins next week. After babies are settled, we begin milking. One step at at time.
