A few weeks ago, Kootenay Meadows had a major equipment breakdown that forced them to pause production of their usual varieties and sell only whole milk. This is what we have been carrying in the store for the last few weeks. Kootenay Meadows has gotten such an overwhelmingly positive response from the community, and after some deep consideration, they’ve shared that they will continue with whole milk moving forward.

You can find the following KMF offerings at your Co-op:

• Whole milk (homogenised and cream-top)
• Whole chocolate milk
• A new Mint Chocolate Whole Milk (arriving this week!)
• A variety of Kootenay Meadow Cheeses (in the deli)

Table cream and whip cream won’t be available for a while, but they’re exploring options for the future. In the meantime, they’re also increasing production of their raw milk cheeses.

As Kootenay Meadows has shared, their goal has always been to offer milk that reflects their land, their herd, and the least-processed version of what their cows naturally produce. We are so grateful to have a local, organic dairy farm in our region and fully support their incredible work in supplying our communities with their outstanding dairy products.

To get a deeper understanding you can check out Kootenay Meadow’s instagram or facebook page – they always provide great updates on what’s going on at the farm, and of course pictures of adorable cows!
