Sep 2 OUCH! Hurting, but still enjoying local foods!

OUCH! A fall resulted in sprained fingers, an arthritis flare and bruised lip! The result was time away from the computer (I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t keyboard with the bum finger), but it couldn’t stop my sister and I from our weekly farmers market haul!

Jun 26 Meet The Redhead Behind Redhead Creamery Cheese

Alise Sjostrom is the redhead behind Redhead Creamery cheese. Partnering with her husband, Lucas, and her parents, Jerry and Linda, she makes cheese on the family dairy farm near Brooten, MN. Jerry and Linda milk 200 cows with a portion of the milk produced going direct to the nearby cheese plant where Alise, joined by Linda, makes cheese two to three times a week. Brie, munster, cheese curds and variety of cheddars are produced at the farm. It’s the realization of an idea Alise had when she was just 16.
