| Lucky <3 |
I have
followed this lovely little farm on Facebook for ages, watching all the farm updates
and dreaming of the day I would venture out to the shop in Brantford. This past week I decided to send a message to
the farm requesting 2kg of cheese curds – the bulk price is fantastic AND they
are freezable! I packed the littles and
the dog up when I received the message they were ready and off we went to pick
them up!

The farm is
super easy to find, you can’t miss the big sign! Jenny, the co-owner, greeted us inside. She was so friendly, easy to talk to and very informative. Before we left, Jenny put our things in our
car and took us over to see a new calf named Lucky!
My kiddos were thrilled and talked about it the rest of the day.
Jersey is
the breed they raise and after some research I can see why! Though they are small in comparison to other
dairy breeds they have a high butterfat milk content and are a calm, docile but
curious breed. There are many other
reasons why one might choose Jersey cattle, these are just the ones that stood
out to me – a curious consumer.

| Our goodies |
Though
Little Brown cow is well known for their amazing cheese curds that are
available fresh every Friday afternoon, they offer so much more. Artisan cheese varieties, cream cheese and both
white and chocolate milk (in this house we really love chocolate milk ;) ) all
of which are processed entirely on site.
Quiche and cheesecake varieties and other meals are also made in the
shop. Frozen beef is always available and
often fresh on Fridays! There are many
other offerings at Little Brown Cow, these are just some of the ones that stood
out to me.
One of the things I always love about the small business owners I meet is how passionate they are about their work. It just radiates off of them and leaves you feeling inspired. That is definitely how I felt after I left Little Brown Cow.
Overall our experience was a wonderful one and we will definitely be adding Little Brown Cow to our permanent list of farms we love. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this wonderful farm and the checking out the new location when it opens this spring!
Thanks for reading!
