Workshop

HLA Country Farm host a workshop that includes hands on milking of cows and goats. Everyone has the opportunity to milk a cow and a goat. Milking with a milking machine is also demonstrated.

Starting time was 7 A.M.

Dear Judy and Allen,

Thank you so much for your fine demonstration. I'm sure that many, including myself, enjoyed learning about the how to milk cows for our food. I'd be interested to know how to care for them more, feed etc. I thought that the group of people were just wonderful and seemed to enjoy the experience. Thank you and the las dos Lisas for the chicken demo. It was very interesting. I was shocked to see how the chickens calmed down when held by the feet and turned upside-down. Come to think of it, I get calm when someone big turns me upside-down.

Thanks again,

My mom and I appreciate your graciousness! You really did make this an experience. The foods were delectable and I appreciated the recipes. Being able to taste the milk, cheese and products made from both goat and Jersey milk was helpful as well. Most of all-it seemed doable. I will try to make my own cheeses in the future! Seeing HLA dairy at work was reassuring as well. Your sanitation practices and the cleanliness of the barns and kitchen was impressive. You have gained a new customer!

Thank you,

The workshop was absolutely wonderful! Very fun and very informative. I know you intended to have the cheese recipes for us but ran out of time. I can understand that with all of the prep you put into the day. I had a great time. I can't wait to make some cheese. Hopefully next weekend. It was a great group of people. I had as much fun visiting with everyone as I did learning about cheese! Thanks Judy!

I thought the milking would be the main event; was my stomach surprised!! Judy, your cooking and cheesemaking is in a league of its own!! Sincerely, thank you for sharing your "gifts" and beloved farm with all of us!!

We loved the workshop! It was so much fun and very informative. The food tasting was great! We loved it all! This experience has defiantly made us want to pursue goat milking and cheese making. Your family and friends made us feel so welcome and you were a great hostess! Thank you so much for this experience!

I'm interested in supporting small dairy farms and this workshop gave me my first real view of what it takes to run a small business (a small view of the work involved I'm sure!) I also enjoyed meeting other people that are starting businesses. Today was well worth the time and money. Thanks for letting us into your home.

Judy,

I throughly enjoyed myself and learned a great deal in the process. Your workshop was informative, and you, your husband Allen, and Chris and Tiffany were so helpful and welcoming. I wish the workshop had been for a whole weekend. Thank you for the opportunity.

I really enjoyed the variety of events. There are not many opportunities to experience such a diverse variety of events. This was an excellent experience to learn about animals, food processing and best of all hospitality!

Thank you so much,

This workshop fulfilled all of my requirements of an educational opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to show us the milking of cows and goats. I will take the recipes/booklets home to try and make the cheeses. You made it look so easy. Very much appreciated you taking time out of yur schedule.

Britt H. Arma, KS.

Thank you for your generous hospitality. I enjoyed everthing about the cheese making class. I can see why your cheese and milk are so delicious - you have happy animals and a nice environment. I will be making my own cheese for sure. It's been a pleasure.
