Dear Friends,

We are excited to start offering a few specialty milks which will run for one month each. In March, we will carry Vanilla Mint Milk. I had never tried Vanilla Mint before, but after our plant manager made up a batch, I was very excited to share this with all of you.

Serve this as a treat to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. Stay tuned for another surprise milk in September.

It’s also time for the kids and teenagers to show us their creativity with the poetry contest. I absolutely love seeing how many of our customers participate each year.

Grab a pencil and paper out of your bin.Enter the Contest. You just might win!Snuggle in and get cozy and warm,And write about Life on the Farm.

Good Luck!
