How can I get a cream?
You can get a cream from milk using one of cream separators we offer at Milky Day. You can also collect a cream when it floats up on the milk surface but that method will not be so much effective, especially if you have goat or sheep milk. In this case, when You don’t use the cream separator, - be ready to leave half of the cream in the milk and to collect less fat cream than you could.
Can I reduce milk spoilage using your butter churning churn?
Sure, we think this is the one of main reasons why dairy farmers buy from us. Here is what Brian Johnston from the US says:
"My story on creating raw milk products was the excess milk I had from my cow and the need to do something to not waste the milk I had... I grew up with a grandmother that taught me how to make simple cheeses and butter. I like the taste of home made products. I then shared the products with friends and the friends started asking me if I made ______. That's how I got into the product side. It is easier to sell just the raw milk. BUT in retail there is an ebb and flow of customers and the milk production continues. So, I just do what I can to reduce spoilage or waste of my product. The money is good no matter what form I sell the "milk". That is how I went from one cow to six."
Can you share any reviews about you and your products?
Sure, some statistics at first:
And some reviews from our wonderful customers after:
"I had the best experience with this company. The correspondence and attention to detail was excellent!! I enjoyed it so much. I haven't tried the separator yet but I am sure it will fulfill my needs. My husband and I have a micro Dairy here in Vermont and needed to make better use of the milk. I can't wait to make all kinds of wonderful stuff with the cream. Thank you...."
