For those of you who love fresh raw dairy, who are lactose intolerant, would like to make goat cheese or just love to drink goats milk because of its numerous healthy qualities, we would highly recommend you try raw goats milk from FinnMark Farms, LLC a local grade A licensed goat dairy in Yacolt, Wa. The small 30 goat dairy is operated by Mark Lee and his family. We met Mark Lee because I was looking for good goats milk to feed my baby goats who had not been weaned yet. They provided me with great tasting milk which I also drank myself and I now make yogurt out of weekly for my personal use. I learned that he too was just starting his business and we share the common challenge of many starting businesses which is to get the word out about our products. Since Dan and I are already committed to being at three different farmer's markets we are working with FinnMark Farms, LLC by advertising their business and selling some milk for them at farmer's market. So far we are bringing quart size bottles to the Camas farmer's market where the interest and demand was high. We are also taking pre-orders at all three of the markets, such that those who would like half-gallon or gallon bottles of milk or just want to assure they will have a bottle left for them can tell us a week ahead of time. FinnMark Farms, LLC also sells their raw goats milk at Chuck's Produce in Vancouver, 4C's produce in Battle Ground, Diane's market, Camas produce market and possibly more local stores in the future. You could also make a personal order and pick up your milk at FinnMark Farms, LLC. They bottle Mondays and Thursdays so be sure to call Mark before then at (360) 798 7136 or e-mail at markfinnmarkfarms@live.com see also http://finnmarkfarms.com/ |
