If not, this workshop will certify you and allow you to train your workers so your farm is in compliance with Vermont State Laws. 9:15 - Better Safe than Sorry: Addressing Food Safety Issues on Your Farm. Cheryl Wixson from Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners, Steve Gilman from NOFA-NY, and David Rogers from NOFA-VT. What practical, credible, and cost-effective steps might growers take to satisfy the food safety concerns of consumers, buyers, and regulators? How can growers evaluate food- safety “risks” in their operations? Regional efforts are examining these issues. MOFGA‟s ongoing work in developing new food-safety protocols (HAACP) for organic growers in Maine is a promising new approach for smaller-scale organic growers in the Northeast. 9:15 - Alternative Greenhouse Heating Systems. -
Year-Round Radicals (Pdf)
Year -round radicals A pair of practical farmers in the wilds of the Midcoast Profile eliot Coleman & Barbara Damrosch By Joshua Bodwell 60 Photography Darren Setlow 60 SEPTEMBER 07 MH+D “earth is so kind—just tickle her with a hoe -round and she laughs with a harvest.” Douglas Jerold radicals eir Cove Road wends and rolls along the water’s edge in Harborside. It is little more than a car-length wide, and for long stretches the dense evergreens on either Wside give the road a tunnel-like quality. Glimpses of Penobscot Bay appear through breaks in the tree line, and the air is ripe with the scent of salt. After a sharp bend, which is punctuated by a small swath of sandy beach, Weir Cove Road gives up its humble attempt at hot- top and turns to gravel. Before long, the forest opens to fi elds, rows of plastic-covered hoop-style greenhouses, and a large round sign that proclaims, FOUR SEASON FARM . It’s down this far end of the winding road, in a place well off the beaten path, that organic- gardening gurus Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch have been creating their own version of the good life. At Four Season Farm—which is, as the name implies, a year- round farm—there is an acre and a half of land under cultivation, one-quarter acre of which is covered by greenhouses. That seemingly diminutive acre and a half, however, yields enough produce to supply fi ve to ten restaurants in the region (depending on the time of year), two markets (the Blue Hill Co-op and the Bucks Harbor Market), and an on-site farm stand. -

Country Cheese – a Primer by Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist
Country Cheese – A Primer By Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist My wife, Barbara, recently made her special meatless lasagna, featuring handfuls of fresh basil and parsley, and bemoaned the fact that she no longer had my good homemade dry curd cottage cheese and had to resort to ricotta. Ricotta cheese, made from acidified whey, lacks the flavor and meaty texture of dry curd cottage cheese. Commercial (wet curd or creamed) cottage cheese is not an acceptable substitute: It is insipid, entirely too wet, and contains all sorts of additives, including phosphates and stabilizers to bind the added liquids from milk and whey so that we can be sold more water. Dry curd, or acid curd cottage cheese contains nothing but fermented milk and maybe a little salt. It is crumbly, pleasantly tart and can easily be made at home. Due to the health and nutritional benefits of naturally fermented milk products, dry curd cottage cheese has received a lot of attention recently. It is an excellent source of protein, calcium and digestible carbohydrates for dieters, and meets the low-lactose requirements of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I used to make a lot of cottage cheese (and butter and Cup Cheese) at home until our cow died. When we started Something Different, I made cottage cheese from powdered milk so that we had the whey to make our bread. Whey reinforces gluten in bread flour, resulting in a chewier texture that holds up well to our hearty sandwiches. Cottage cheese was actually the by-product. We sold it to the few customers who knew what it was and used it to make dips, spreads and real cheesecake. -

Milk 101 a Discussion on Dairy Fat
milk 101 a discussion on dairy fat There are many different types of milk sold at the grocery store and one difference between them is the amount of fat they contain. The percentages included in the names of milk indicate how much fat is in the milk by weight. The different varieties match the wide range of consumer preferences. MILK 4% milk (whole milk) has the richest, thickest and creamiest taste. 4% It contains about 160 calories and 9 grams of fat per cup. MILK 2% milk (reduced-fat milk) still has a creamy taste but less so than 2% whole milk. It contains about 125 calories and 5 grams of fat per cup. 1% milk (low-fat milk) has a much less creamy taste and a thinner MILK mouthfeel and appearance. It contains about 100 calories and 2.5 1% grams of fat per cup. Fat-free milk (nonfat or skim milk) has no more than 0.2% milk fat, MILK FAT-FREE resulting in the thinnest mouthfeel and appearance. It contains about 80 calories and less than 1 gram of fat per cup. dairy fat science Research supports that whole-milk dairy is just as healthful as lower-fat options, despite its higher fat content. A recent review of the existing research on whole-milk dairy consumption published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that people who eat full-fat dairy are not more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than people who stick to low-fat dairy. Additionally, in 11 of the 16 studies included in the review, people who consumed more high-fat dairy products either weighed less or gained less weight over time. -
