Show Notes
Cows are not cows at TMK, they're "Cowlebrities". Treating the cows with tender loving care and showing them at fairs and winning ribbons is part of getting the best natural milk on the planet. And it goes into fabulous cheese, soft serve ice cream - and vodka too. Tessa and Todd Koch also involve the community. They have tours seven days a week and show off the farm so they are transparent about where your food comes from as it gets. Oregon State University had a big effect on their life with its tremendous agricultural program, and the creamery there provided the foundation for being in business. And the vodka? What's that about? It's called "Cowcohol" (of course). The whey that's left after the cheese making is fermented and distilled. Entrepreneurs are ALWAYS thinking, even about their cows..
