Save Your Dairy

Local dairy farm in Phoenix, Arizona

Finally made the 49-mile drive from North Phoenix to Queen Creek to visit the Save Your Dairy folks and meet the cows who give us the raw milk we use for making cheese. This small operation needs to find new acreage as new homes with greater capacity to generate property taxes are squeezing the dairy from its land. I think it is likely we will lose the services of these ladies as finding comparable land near Phoenix is either cost-prohibitive or simply not available. Next week I will pick up a gallon of cream and churn it into butter – a new challenge in my culinary endeavors.
