Claim

     The yogurts' and butters' taste is affected by what the cows producing the dairy are consuming.

"Our products subtly change throughout the year, varying in flavor and even color as the cows’ diet changes from green grass to hay and baleage, making for a very special taste experience."

"Poor quality silage and various weeds produce off-flavors in the milk due to direct transfer of off-flavors, to the breakdown products of weed components, or to the effect of components of the weeds on the biochemistry of the cow."
