Guys.  I made THE best grilled cheese sandwich the other day. Like so good. So good you might want to marry it. Here is the line up; Smoked Gouda, caramelized onions and apples, and, of course, bread and butter. It’s not exactly healthy, but I did put in a good morning of work that day. […]

So often do we hear farmers say “Howdy, I am Farmer Brown from Wisconsin and we milk 125 cows and run 300 acres of land”.  Blah, Blah, Blah.  Farmers are really good at telling consumers what they do, but what we don’t commonly hear is why they do it. Sure, it is always cool to […]
