The cows line up, waiting for their turn on the milking stand—except when a certain little troublemaker is involved.

Grandma Cow just had a calf, but here’s the twist—her grown-up daughter from two years ago also had a calf at the same week.

You’d think Grandma would be doting on her own baby, but nope.

Instead, she’s completely smitten with her daughter’s calf. And so is her daughter.

This little calf must have some kind of magic charm because now, instead of following their usual routine, both mama and grandma are obsessed with this one baby. They follow him everywhere, ignoring their own needs—and ours.

And here’s where it gets tricky: this little rascal is fast. When it takes off running, the two mamas go right after it, completely forgetting about their job—getting milked. Picture two big, lumbering cows trying to keep up with a speedy little calf, while we stand there, hands on hips, waiting for them to come back.

It’s a chase. It’s a comedy.

It’s a perfect example of that your food has a story.

Want to meet the little troublemaker and his devoted followers? I took a trip up to the barn to capture the action.

Watch this quick video to meet them and learn why their milk is something special.

Yes, it takes extra labor to raise our healthy cows and calves to produce fresh, local grass fed milk for you.

Sometimes it’s a hassle.

But our health and the pure enjoyment drinking it’s own reward.

“The biggest change I made in my diet that helped heal my gut and get the healthiest I’ve been in decades? Drinking your milk!” Bonnie, farm member, told me a few weeks ago.

If you love grass fed whole milk with the cream on top, why not make sure you always have it on hand? Our subscriptions guarantee you fresh farm milk every week—no running out!

This week get free farm-made fromage blanc when you subscribe to milk in your market box. What is “fromage blanc”? Similar to cream cheese it is a soft spreadable cheese often spread on bread, crackers, used for savory dips or sweetened for dessert with dried or fresh fruit.

Arugula –  This leafy green has a peppery, slightly bitter flavor and is commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish. It is low in calories and packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and antioxidants, which support eye health, immune function, and bone strength. Arugula can be eaten fresh or lightly wilted in pasta dishes and pizzas. Some prefer to eat it tossed with other fresh greens or lettuce so that the spicy taste is not as strong. Putting it on a sandwich is another delicious way to enjoy its distinct flavor.  Store wrapped in a paper towel inside a loosely sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Properly stored, arugula can stay fresh for up to 3-5 days. For best quality, use arugula soon after purchasing.

Arugula isn’t just for salad. Here are 29 Ways to Eat Arugula including pasta dishes, pizza, sandwiches, and more.

Beet, Red – Red beets are root vegetables known for their earthy flavor and vibrant red-purple color. They are rich in nutrients like folate, manganese, potassium, dietary fiber, and antioxidants such as betalains, which help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Both the roots and greens are edible, with the greens offering additional nutrients like vitamins A and C. Beets can be eaten raw in salads, roasted, boiled, or blended into smoothies and soups. Store beet greens separately from the root, wrapped in a damp cloth or in a plastic bag in the fridge. Use within a few days – they don’t keep long. Beetroots can be stored in a plastic bag in the fridge’s crisper drawer for up to two weeks. To freeze beets for longer storage, slice or chop them, spread on a cookie sheet to flash freeze, then transfer to freezer bags where they can be stored for up to a year.

Cabbage, Green – Green cabbage is a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable in the Brassica family, known for its tightly packed, round, pale green leaves. It is rich in vitamins C and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants, which are beneficial for immune health, digestion, and bone strength. With a mild, slightly peppery taste, green cabbage can be enjoyed raw in salads and slaws, or cooked in stir-fries, soups, and stews. To store, keep green cabbage unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer, where it can stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Carrot – Carrots are a versatile and popular root vegetable, known for their sweet, crunchy texture and vibrant orange color, though they can also be found in purple, yellow, and red varieties. They are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, essential for good vision and immune health. Carrots are a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. Enjoy them raw, cooked, roasted, or juiced. They can be used in salads, soups, stews, and side dishes. For optimal storage, store carrots unwashed in the fridge, preferably in a plastic bag or container to maintain moisture, where they can last for several weeks. If the greens are attached, cut them off to prevent the carrots from becoming limp. Stored properly, they should last around 1-2 weeks.

Carrot, Rainbow – In addition to the nutritional benefits above, rainbow carrots stand out from standard orange carrots with their vibrant colors—purple, yellow, red, and white—each offering unique nutritional benefits and distinct flavors. Purple carrots contain anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants linked to anti-inflammatory and heart-health benefits, with a slightly earthy, spicy taste. Yellow carrots are rich in lutein, which promotes eye health by protecting against macular degeneration and cataracts, and they have a mild, subtly sweet flavor. Red carrots contain lycopene, a potent antioxidant that supports heart health, reduces the risk of certain cancers, and helps protect skin from UV damage, with a richer, sweeter taste.

These colorful carrots are perfect for adding visual appeal to dishes and enhancing the taste profile, whether roasted to bring out their natural sweetness, or sliced raw for salads. Their distinct flavors can also add depth to juices and smoothies. The diverse hues, flavors, and nutrients of rainbow carrots make them perfect for garnishes or serving as part of a vegetable medley. Store rainbow carrots the same way you would store standard orange carrots.

Celery – Celery is a crunchy, low-calorie vegetable known for its mild, slightly salty flavor. It is rich in vitamins K and C, folate, potassium, and fiber, supporting bone health, digestion, and hydration. Celery is often eaten raw as a snack, added to salads, or used as a base in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Store celery in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in aluminum foil to retain its crispness, where it can stay fresh for up to two weeks. For longer storage, celery can be chopped and frozen.

Don’t forget to use those celery greens! They’re a great addition to cooked beans, salads, eggs. Use leaves to make pesto or dry them and make your own parsley flakes, powder, or salt. 

Ginger – Ginger is a flavorful root widely used as a spice and natural remedy. It has a warm, slightly spicy taste and is rich in bioactive compounds like gingerol, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ginger aids digestion, relieves nausea, and supports immune health. It is versatile in cooking, and used in teas, curries, stir-fries, baked goods, and beverages. Store fresh ginger in a cool, dry place for short-term use or in the refrigerator in a paper towel or airtight bag for extended freshness. For long-term storage, freeze peeled or sliced ginger.

Freeze your fresh ginger for longer storage: Peel and slice or grate the ginger. Freeze in an airtight container or ice cube tray. You can also freeze the whole unpeeled root in a freezer bag. Grate or slice directly from frozen as needed.

Dandelion Greens – These nutrient-packed leafy greens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and antioxidants. Slightly bitter with a nutty undertone, they are great in salads, sautéed as a side dish, blended into smoothies or soups, or even used as a pizza topping. To store, keep them unwashed in a plastic bag or container lined with paper towels in the fridge, and use within 3–5 days for peak freshness.

Kale – Curly kale is a nutrient-dense leafy green rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with fiber, antioxidants, and minerals like calcium and potassium. It has a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a sturdy texture that softens when massaged, cooked, or blended. Curly kale is great in salads, soups, sautés, smoothies, and as a base for grain bowls. Store unwashed leaves in a loose bag in the fridge’s crisper drawer, ideally wrapped in a damp paper towel, and use within 5–7 days. To keep it fresh longer, blanch and freeze it for later use in cooked dishes.

Mushroom Varieties

Store mushrooms in a paper bag or breathable container in the refrigerator, avoiding moisture buildup, and only wash them right before use to maintain freshness.

Mushrooms are super versatile in the kitchen. Here are 10 Things You Should Do With Mushrooms.

This roundup of 20 Mushroom Recipes has you covered with meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

Mushroom, Portobello & Cremini – Portobello mushrooms are mature versions of cremini mushrooms, offering a meaty texture and rich, earthy flavor. Cremini, also known as “baby bellas,” are younger, smaller, and have a firmer texture with a milder taste. Both are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and provide B vitamins, selenium, potassium, and antioxidants. Portobellos are ideal for grilling, roasting, or as a meat substitute in burgers, sandwiches, or stuffed recipes. Creminis are great for sautéing, adding to soups, stir-fries, pasta dishes, or as pizza and salad toppings.

Mushroom, Shiitake – Shiitake mushrooms are prized for their rich, umami flavor and slightly chewy texture, making them a staple in Asian cuisine. They are low in calories, fat-free, and a good source of B vitamins, copper, selenium, and immune-supporting polysaccharides. Shiitakes are versatile and can be sautéed, stir-fried, grilled, or added to soups, stews, and sauces for a depth of flavor. They are popular in dishes like ramen, risotto, and dumplings, and are often used in vegetarian recipes for their meaty texture.

Onion, Red – Red onions are a vibrant, mildly sweet onion variety with a sharp bite, commonly used raw or cooked in various dishes. They are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, contributing to overall health and supporting the immune system. Red onions add color and flavor to salads, salsas, sandwiches, pickles, and roasted vegetable dishes. Store whole red onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space away from sunlight; once cut, refrigerate in an airtight container and use within a few days to preserve freshness.

Onion, Yellow – Yellow onions are a popular, versatile vegetable with golden-brown skin and a strong, savory flavor that mellows and sweetens when cooked. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, yellow onions support immune health, digestion, and overall cellular health. They’re a staple in many cuisines, perfect for sautéing, caramelizing, roasting, and adding depth to soups, stews, and sauces. To store, keep unpeeled yellow onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from potatoes, where they can last up to a month; once peeled or cut, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Parsley, Flat Italian – Parsley is a popular herb with bright green leaves and a fresh, slightly peppery flavor. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with folate and antioxidants, which support immune health, bone health, and digestion. Parsley is used as both a garnish and a key ingredient in various dishes. It is commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, adding flavor to salads, soups, sauces, and marinades. Store as you would any herb; in a glass with some water on the counter. Keep for several days. For longer storage, parsley can be chopped and frozen in airtight containers or ice cube trays.

Potato, Yellow – Also known as Yukon Gold or gold potatoes, yellow potatoes have smooth, thin, yellowish skin and creamy, buttery-flavored flesh. They are slightly waxy, making them versatile in cooking. Yellow potatoes are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber and are low in calories and fat. Their creamy texture makes them ideal for mashing, roasting, grilling, and boiling. They are also excellent in gratins and salads because they hold shape during cooking. Store yellow potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place for several weeks, avoiding refrigeration as it can alter their texture and flavor.

Radish, Watermelon – Watermelon radish is a striking root vegetable with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crisp texture. Its pale green skin hides a vibrant pink interior, resembling a watermelon. Rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, it supports immune health and reduces inflammation. Watermelon radishes can be enjoyed raw in salads, sliced thinly for garnishes, pickled, or roasted for a milder flavor. Store unwashed watermelon radishes in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for up to two weeks. Wash and trim just before using.

Rutabaga – Rutabaga is a round, root vegetable with yellowish flesh and a mildly sweet, earthy flavor. It is packed with fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, supporting digestion, immune health, and heart function. Rutabaga is excellent roasted, mashed, added to soups, or used in stews. Rutabaga can be thinly sliced and baked into crispy chips or grated and mixed into coleslaw for a unique twist. Its slightly sweet flavor also works wonderfully in casseroles or mixed with mashed potatoes for added depth. Store rutabaga in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator, where it can stay fresh for several weeks.

Fun Facts: Rutabagas are a cross between a turnip and a cabbage, giving them their unique flavor. Rutabaga is also known as swede which is short for “Swedish turnip.”

Sweet Potato – Sweet potatoes are a nutritious root vegetable known for their naturally sweet flavor and vibrant orange flesh, though they also come in other colors like purple and white. They are rich in vitamins A (as beta-carotene), C, and B6, as well as dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support eye health, boost immunity, and promote digestive health. Sweet potatoes are versatile in cooking and can be baked, roasted, mashed, or used in soups and stews. They can also be enjoyed in both savory and sweet dishes. Store sweet potatoes in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place for several weeks, avoiding refrigeration as it can affect their texture and flavor.

Swiss Chard (baby) – Milder and more tender than mature Swiss chard, baby chard is often used raw in salads, wraps, or grain bowls. While still rich in vitamins A, C, and K, it may have slightly less fiber than its fully grown counterpart. Store in a sealed container with a dry paper towel in the fridge and use within 3–5 days for the best freshness.

Fun fact: Chard is in the chenopod family which includes beets, spinach, and quinoa.
