Some lucky traveler could be spinning this gem on the victrola during their next vacation if they booked a stay in our Airbnb apartment! @eurokeith and @mattdelmar maybe you could get these blokes for your nuptials?! 😜 #Airbnb #vinyl #recordplayer (at Wayward Goose Farm)

Dan made dinner tonight: fiddleheads and morels foraged along the rail trail and a Stella foraged from the fridge. #supersupper (at Wayward Goose Farm)

Cocoa the cow tormentor. Jilly and Caramel, dry for a few months, are her semi permanent pasture mates until they freshen and they still all haven't figured out what to make of each other. #cowsandhorse #cocoathecowhater (at Wayward Goose Farm)

Some people just relax with a beer or two on their day off. This guy spends his brewing it. #madscientist

Not many cows are lucky enough to graze a stone's throw from where their milk is made into cheese. Most milk is picked up in a tanker truck where it's mixed with the milk from multiple farms. From there it's trucked many miles to a plant where it's homogenized, pasteurized, deconstructed, reconstituted, diluted, fortified, etc. The milk from Wayward Goose Farm cows is picked up and driven a quarter of a mile up the road where it's made into fabulous aged raw milk cheese by top notch head cheesemaker Leslie Goff and her first rate crew. How lucky we are to be part of such a thing! #pasturedcheese #pasturedmilk #jerseycows (at Consider Bardwell Farm)

Styx, after being milked last evening, while waiting for the rest of the cows to go through the milking parlor. So full from a day of grazing on lush spring grass she was too tired to even chew her cud. #plumtuckeredout (at Wayward Goose Farm)
