If you’ve ever wondered why milk often tastes flat and watery that’s because over the past 30 years thanks to pasteurization and homogenization the American public has forgotten or maybe never really knew what real milk tastes like. Today people are trying to get back to natural unprocessed food for health benefits. Many have discovered the great taste of our farm fresh "real milk." At Northern Star Farm we take the art of dairy seriously. We start by growing and harvesting the feed that supplements our grass fed herd of old genetic Holsteins lines, Ayrshire, and brown Swiss dairy cows to assure the most deliciously flavored milk. We then manage the herd to ensure happy, healthy well-cared for animals, use milking techniques that guarantee the cleanest milk without added hormones or antibiotics making it as good for you as it gets. Many years ago the dairy cow was considered the perfect laboratory on four legs. This kindly beneficent creature could eat the grasses of the field and turn it into the most nutritious food product that humans had available to them. Like so many things in life, what is old is now new. We live in an age where many health issues associated with the widespread shortage of omega-3-fats in " first world" human diet, including all the diseases associated with excessive inflammatory response, including heart disease, asthma,migraines,hyperactivity,alzheimers and arthritis.
Cows on a diet of natural hay and grass and with access to free choice forage will provide, through their milk, the very nutrients that we need to stay not only physically healthy, but also psychologically healthy and this is particularly so in the winter. One day, we are hopeful that food scientists will confirm beyond scientific doubt the connection between the diet of dairy cows and the nutritive value of their milk to modern humans whose industrialized food supply denies them many compounds necessary to health.
