Puts it all into perspective, we think!

"$15 for a gallon of milk! That's too expensive!"

That is a comment we have heard more than once from people that don't understand the value of our product and the expense, time and sacrifice that goes into producing high quality, raw, A2A2, full cream Jersey milk. It is the comment we get most often from someone that is also holding a gourmet coffee in their hand.

So, I decided to do a little experiment and asked three of my friends for their usual order from Starbucks and the price before tip. These friends will generally drive thru for coffee 3-5 times each week.

Friend 1: "Venti Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latte with an extra shot." $8.27 for 20oz. drink

Friend 2: "Venti Iced Caramel Macchiato $6.87, $8.12 if I decide to add Cold foam. DO NOT tell my husband how much I drop on coffee each week!"
$6.87 for 24oz drink
$8.12 with Cold Foam

Friend 3: "Grande Americano with a splash of Heavy Cream"
$4.54 for 16oz drink

Now for the math part to equate gallon of gourmet coffee to a gallon of "gourmet" raw milk.

There are 128oz in a gallon. We divide the oz of each drink into 128oz to know how many times we have to multiply the cost of each coffee.

Friend 1: $52.93/ gal ($8.27x6.4)

Friend 2: $36.62/gal ($6.87 x 5.33)
or $43.28/gal with Cold Foam ($8.12 X 5.33)

Friend 3: $36.38/gal ($4.54 x 😎

It's all about perspective.

Many people have no problem spending $5-8 on a specialty coffee, that can equate to $36-$53 per gallon, but are horrified that the cost of farm fresh, locally produced raw milk is $15/gal.

To be clear, my parents own a gourmet coffee shop, I have NOTHING against gourmet coffee, in fact, sometimes I think I survive on carbs and caffeine!

If you have made it this far, thanks for hanging with me.

If you're a gourmet coffee lover, Knock your socks off, WE LOVE COFFEE TOO!!!

If you think $15 for a gallon of milk is outrageous, I ask you to consider the gallon or pound cost of other gourmet items you purchase before telling the raw milk producer, the sourdough baker or local beef producer their products are too expensive. Just because we don't sell in a storefront, doesn't mean it is cheaply produced.

So Inspiring! God’s purpose for me, involves healing ❤️‍🩹 and helping others build self sufficiency! My hope is to bring peace, safety, natural medicine, holistic health & nutrition to women and children in need - while also teaching them self sufficiency and skills to support themselves without fear!

Sometimes a ministry includes teaching and learning new ways to improve on lives of those who are lost and suffering a life constantly threatening starvation, injury, illness and death. Many women and children around the world are imprisoned and being abused in their own homes, often led into trafficking because they believe they have no other choice or voice for survival!

Having a background as a federal correctional officer, a director of a domestic abuse prevention agency - I’ve met women & children running from abuse of all sorts in the United States. Our country is one of the few countries with more freedom and opportunity than any other nation in the world - and YET, there is still a great amount of suffering and oppression being felt by women, led into a life of fear, mental abuse and physical violence! We have VAWA in America, to protect women - but MOST countries have NO Rights or special protections for women and children, from abusers or government corruption! Many women and children are enslaved and still seen as mere property!

I have a BA in business, finishing my doctorate in natural medicine and have a 35yr history as a wife, mother, farmer, herbalist, farm to table chef, teacher, caregiver, and entrepreneur! As a woman, I have lived and worked a diverse background in many areas. This is an ambitious calling, when you live with a passion to help women and their families acheive self sufficient lives. I want to help to build up confidence and self worth in women, to help support thier children and make their life work - whether a spouse is in the picture or not. I want to share this knowledge, I was blessed to receive!

Sometimes we must learn new skills to make money to eat and live sustainably. The process of good health can be difficult to attain if you don’t have knowledge of what works best! We all know there are humans around the world who have nothing to eat and no place to call home. With no education and work skills to sustain themselves - or support their children & family, many remain stagnant and desperate in that lifestyle. Many women and children, will be forced to resort to prostitution and traffickers to meet their basic survival needs.

I believe God meets life needs first - from that abundance, (when we are blessed with knowledge & success), we can freely give back and pay it forward! I believe God uses us all - I would not have these skills if God didn’t have a plan for me to expand and help in a bigger way!

We are all connected and can make a huge global difference & impact in the world! I have faith that God will be using me to help in huge ways! So YES - this story was for me to hear and has greatly impacted me today! Trusting God NOW to help fund my ministry to travel worldwide to countries, to help set up safe houses and programs for women and children - I know with some help, I am able to make a REAL difference in the lives of women and children.

My ministry has begun - I call it Folklore Healing! I know I can bring this mission much further with a little help from God & people who believe in supporting the same cause - it’s time to make a bigger impact to help women become stronger and self sufficient; helping to put an end to human trafficking, worldwide!
