Not trying to be a cheese snob (and I do have relatives from Wisconsin), but I think that the curds we used to get from Burnett were 'better' -drier, 'squeakier', more flavorful, etc. Did they used to make their own, say, 5+ years ago (before the new store), or is this some type of dairy nostalgia creeping up on me?

The last bag of cheese whips Sarah and Andy got me was outstanding... I think Burnett's??? It was a great batch, maybe a little dryer than normal? I have no idea how they make em'..

Our "honey hole" for cheese and curds is Burnett Dairy Coop. Their curds come from Ellsworthcheese.com

Thomas, the curds we had at Scotts were from Ellsworth, whips come from Burnett, and may I suggest aged alphas edom from wood river!

Thanks...just visited the Burnett Dairy website. I will be placing an order soon.

Philbert is right. The Dairy quit making there own not long ago and started selling the ones made in Ellsworth. It's enough to make a grown man cry... The whips are still made at the Dairy I think.

Another cheese factory not far from Ellsworth is Eau Galle Cheese. Try their squeaky curds. eaugallecheese.com

If you want some real good cheese you have to get Bongards cheese. Made right here in Minnesota. Those Wisconsin people think they're on top of the cheese world, gotta try some of the swamp cheese of Minnesota.

Well, he's at 14.5 cord now, so there's only 1 thing he can do..
Go for 30...

Or I guess he could come down here and clear out a fence row or 2..

That's a damn fine pile o firewood there..

True...
I could send him home with a truck load of yellow firewood...
He'd be the talk of the neighborhood...
Of course he'd have to spend $700 in gas getting down here with the heavy hauler....

 

[hoskvarna]

That is true. We got some of that yella wood too, called mulberry.

 

[Hedgerow]

I may drive this truck up to the IA GTG this spring if fuel prices keep heading south.. I'll throw some heavy stuff on it to make it ride better...

With only a little snow in the woods I am sure we will keep cutting. That is about a 1/3 of what we have cut this year. Between my dad and brothers we go threw around 50 cord a year so still more work to be done. But it sure feels good to have the shed full.

31 below this morning and into the 30's by Thursday. Some crazy cold for two weeks now. Bring on the January thaw!!!
