ABOUT YUKIFURI FARM
See the monthly boxIt starts in the grass
The milk from our Jersey cows carries a lot of butterfat, and the taste follows it. From late April to mid-October the cows are on grass, and we milk twice a day, morning and evening.
Questions before you order
The four we always have
Before you order
-
No. It is milk and the culture, nothing else. If it tastes sharp to you, stir in a little honey or jam.
-
There are no flavourings and no stabilisers, so the whey rises when the bottle stands. It has not spoiled. Shake it well before you drink it.
-
The fat globules are left whole, so a layer of cream forms at the neck of the bottle. Stir it in or spoon it off, as you like.
-
Ten days from the day it ships. Keep it below 10°C, and finish an opened bottle within two days.
-
Call or email five days before the next shipment and we stop it from that month. There is no minimum number of deliveries.
The farm year
Late Apr – May
Jun – JulThe grass is at its richest. Butterfat rises, and the layer of cream at the neck of the bottle gets thicker.
WHAT COMES OUT THEN
Farm yogurt
Mid-JulyHaskap berries arrive from a field nearby. They are cooked down before they go in, so there are only a few days when we can make this one.
WHAT COMES OUT THEN
Drinking yogurt, haskap
Aug – SepIn a run of hot days the cows stay in the shade and the yield drops a little. That week we ship only the morning milking.
WHAT COMES OUT THEN
Drinking yogurt, plain
OctoberThe end of grazing. On the day the cows come back in, we make the last batch of the season from grass-fed milk.
WHAT COMES OUT THEN
