Here is the raw cows milk info! I asked her to send me pics and info to answer some of your questions...
Cows are milked 2xs a day. Udders are washed prior to and udder cream put on before and after milking. Automatic machine is used. It is cleaned and sterilized before and after each milking. Milk is placed in freezer for 8-10 hours for cool down then placed in fridge for mo more than 24 hours. If not sold in 24 hours, it is used to feed calves and pigs.
Cows are fed premium alfalfa hay, "free choice" burmuda grass and recieve 40 lbs of corn per day for the 2. They have calves that share the milk and nurse whenever they want.
They recieve a natural salt and mineral supplement ("free choice") along with bread and produce for treats.
The milk is only allowed to be sold in AZ as "not for human consumption". I just recieved the milk today, so please let me know asap if you want some. I want to make sure it all gets sold since it is so fresh. I have 10 gallons.
I am supposed to be picking up honey tonight, but have not heard from the person as to where or when, so if I do have honey, I will have it out at the coffee shop tomorrow on a shelf. Also...we will have eggs there tomorrow for $3.50 a doz. If you have extra egg cartons left over from the last 2 weeks OR just extras around the house...please bring them for recyle :)
See you tomorrow!!
Also, don't forget the coffee shop. Make sure to grab a peach tea, a smoothie or an ice cold blended coffee :)

Hello fellow CSA-ers. THANKYOU for joining me to support our wonderful farmer Jesus. He and his wonderful wife Tanya have been working for Crooked Sky Farms for years. He plants, harvests and sells the wonderful pesticide free produce from the farm. He is now starting his OWN farm and since they just recently got the land and officially starting farming...I can announce the name finally! You will be getting a few things from his new farm "FRESH AND LOCAL TJ FARMS" and the rest from Crooked Sky farm (yes...he is working at BOTH farms-crazy guy! I don't know if him or his wife ever sleep!) Here is what you can expect in your box tomorrow! I can't wait to use the roasted chilis in some fresh salsa for Mother's Day :)

-tomatillos
-mixes summer squash (8 ball, yellow, zuchinni, mexican grey)

Recipe suggestion:
Get your Greens and cool down with a green smoothie popsicle :)! Use your collard greens (a small handful) and add in a banana (fresh or frozen). Then pick 2 other fruits to toss in there as well such as...strawberries and pineapple (which are on sale this week too (97cent pineapples at sprouts, 88cent strawberries at bashas)!.
Use those potatoes, beets, yellow squash, zuchinni, garlic and onions for a yummy side dish. Dice the CSA veggies and mice the garlic. Toss in olive oil or butterand bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (or toss on the grill in some foil!) Add some season salt, garlic salt or pepper for your taste and enjoy with some grass fed steaks or natural chicken breasts! :) I can smell the summer bbq's by the pool already :)
Green chili and tomatillo salsa!!! chop your tomatillos, onions, green chilis, some cilantro and miced garlic. Add some salt and voila...fresh yummy salsa with no pesticides right at your fingertips :)
Artichoke dip-boil those artichokes for about an hour or so in water with a little garlic salt. Pull them apart and dip them in a garlic salt and melted butter dip!!!
Also...feel free to "follow" this blog, as I will be posting every week about the CSA. If you haven't liked our Market page on facebook...please do :) We appreciate your support and the desire to buy local and fresh. Without people like you...farmers and local businesses wouldn't make it. It is because of community support that we can push this green movement of awesome foods and local businesses! Please let me know if you are looking for any other items this summer such as raw AZ honey, local meats, fresh breads, tamales, sauces, dips or anything else you can think of. I have a wonderful list of vendors with the best products in the world and I can get you in touch with them. I may even be able to get them to drop off your orders at the CSA pick ups if we can get a few orders going!!! Thank you again for your support and I look forward to helping you all get the products you need and the great produce you can expect each week!

Summer Time :)
The kids have been out of school for a few weeks...but the weather seemed too nice to call it summer yet :) BUT...it is, now, officially starting to get HOT and we can say it's summer!
I am sure you all know that our market takes a break from our outdoor event in the summer months, but that doesn't mean that you can't still get your hands on great produce!! Arizona has some wonderful summer produce (such as melons and squash to name a couple). Don't miss out on fresh, local produce!
***Sign up for a CSA or co-op box pick up from one of our WONDERFUL farmers!!***
Go to our website at www.mommasorganicmarket.com and look at the "wonderful vendors" page. Get in touch with a farmer by looking on their website or giving them a call and see where their pick ups are. I know that Pinnacle Farms has a co-op box pick up in Peoria. For only $25 a week, you can pick from 2 different boxes online. It is at the Dodge dealership in Arrowhead on Saturday mornings.
ALSO...some news for you about next season! :) I was hoping that we would get to do our market every weekend when our new season started, but that won't end up happening this year (fingers crossed for next though!) :)....SO we will still be going strong at Park West on the 3rd Saturday of each month starting in September. Mark your calendars for September 17th!!!! Hope to see you all there! Bring a friend or two or three :) There will be perks for bringing a friend too! We will have special things for people who support us and get the word out. Make sure to stop by the information booth at the markets to see what we have for you! :)
Make sure to follow us on facebook for updates and special things that you will only hear about there. If you haven't liked us on facebook yet, please go to www.facebook.com/mommasorganicmarket and check it out!
(shhh...little secret...we are looking to start up one or two new markets on the west side so follow us on our blog and on facebook to keep updated on that too!) :)
Thank you for supporting us and for supporting the wonderful vendors that make our market great. We appreciate your desire to support local businesses and eat fresh AZ produce.
See you soon! And have a WONDERFUL summer!
