Sad News about Clover Farmstead Organic Butter

I only just discovered that blogger.com, with whom this blog is hosted, now has an 'unreviewed comments' section where it decides that random comments require my approval. I found about 40 comments in the queue, all perfectly reasonable and not spam, where some of them had been languishing since the beginning of the year. Apparently, all they needed was for me to give them the ok. Huge apologies to anyone whose comment got lost in there, I have just read and hit the publish button on all of the acceptable ones. As I went through the comments, I found one in particular that I read with a heavy heart. It was added to this post here, and I am sorry to have to share this news with fellow fans of Clover Organic Farmstead butter.


"Thanx for the acclaim!It is with a heavy heart I am informing you and your readers that St Anthony Farm will be closing it's doors. The cows will be departing 2/2 and I will be producing the last crock of Farmstead butter 2/3.
My grandfather retired as a Creamery manager/buttermaker and his oldest son continued on in his tradition, ultimately winning 1st prize in 1969 at the New York State Fair. As the third generation buttermaker, I am genetically predisposed to making THE best butter, and your article has affirmed the accomplishment of my goals.
As dairy supervisor for the past 13 years it has been rewarding to have aided so many on their path to recovery from the disease of addiction, and giving them the opportunity to work with our organic cows. The birth of a new calf is always a special event and I must close now for a delivery."
