It's ALWAYS an awesome day when one can take a trip tp the local creamery! The nearest one to me, in is Tillamook Oregon, & it's 5 hours away. I remember fondly going there with mom & dad. We always came home with a container of cheese curds to enjoy on teh ride home.
Thanks for this field trip Erin. Enjoyed the cows, calves, and tour. Yeah, audio can be a problem. Gotta come up with a RODE shotgun mic for these times. But also had trouble hearing one in the tractor cab. See what I can do. Also wanted to mention I am impressed with all the good stuff you do around the farm, especially the hard brain numbing stuff that needs to be done. And done with a smile! Loved the view of the bolts being wire-wheeled, then the perfectly manicured polished nails. What a lady! And not pudgy from my POV. So now I'll go back to the Creamery and order one of those baskets! Thanks for the heads-up!
Back in high school, I worked 3rd shift one summer at Frigo Cheese mostly in the brine room. I did pack some parmesan in the cheese cloth in the rings and put the long rectangular bricks of mozzarella in the brine tanks (they are like slipper 30 lb fish). What I did most was turn the 30 lb parmesan chunks that were floating in the brine tanks, threw salt on top and took core samples as directed. I also had to add cheese to the tanks and remove cheese from the tanks. It was only 40 degrees in there and I was soaked in very salty water. My jeans could stand by themselves when I got home!!! Then in the afternoons, I baled hay. Boy did those hay stem scratches & pokes LOVE THE SALT!
That's for sure! Good products come from contented/happy cows! The least amount of stress possible! That has to be a lot of hard work that Ms.Tessa puts into that place? It sure doesn't stay that neat and tidy (with cattle) all by itself?! What Erin shows on camera is a tiny amount of what they actually do. These farmers are way underappreciated I think? I have always admired them because I come from a farming family on both my mother's and father's sides. What little I've done helping to work my family's tobacco farms as a kid sure taught me how tough that farming is and it's often dangerous too! My family have also raised cattle hogs and chickens too and raised feed corn for their livestock as well and some soybeans.
The way the cows reacted when she approached each one and scratch their head shows that they are well taken care of and respected for what they provide.
Great video! It was so cool to see a different the operations of a different type of farm. I know you have agricultural, dairy and meat farms. They are all interesting to this city boy that loves the country. Since the first time I visited my in-laws cattle ranch in VA, I've been in love with that life style, which is how I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you so much for sharing all of the videos you do!!
I love farm life. So does my wife. Our children are grown up, but one. We plan to return to the farm at some point. Thanks for sharing your life! I could hear the conversation, most of it that is.
I'm glad you did a spotlight on small business's like this family cheese farm. Now knowing the reason for the name Jake on the cheese is both sad and inspiring. I will place an order and support this farm. Thank you Erin for doing the best you could with all that rain and wind. I turned up the sound and didn't miss a thing. By the way, that was a nice touch showing a close-up at the end of Jake. Take care, stay safe and warm.
I spent two weeks living and working on an Amish dairy farm in Lancaster County, PA. It was for a college cross-cultural class back in the mid-90’s. It was an awesome experience but also was the hardest two weeks of work I’ve ever done.
No worries about the sound just looking at all that cheese is made me hungry. Nothing like listening to two beautiful women speak with soothing voices. Excellent video as usual Erin.
Thanks for sharing Erin. Taking the time to share local businesses is awesome. I love all your videos and have learned a whole lot about stuff I thought I knew about.
Great tour. So much happens before we take a bite of our food. Like you, she is a knowledgeable and hard worker. Also very attractive like yourself. Now I want a grilled cheese sandwich!
I bought a couple of the wedges back in October for my girlfriend since I know she likes cheeses and supporting small businesses. The sucky thing is she was dealing with COVID at the time and had the taste issues. :( She did share with her mom and sister and also brought me some of it that she had leftover (definitely good stuff). Will be buying from them again in the future. Thanks for spotlighting them Erin. I think it is great that you did that.
So cool to get to tour that farm! I love your support and promotion of small businesses. Don't worry about the sound. That's life on a farm. You learn how to understand what is going on on windy or noisy days. Thanks for what you do.
Interesting visit to the "cheese" farm. I just turned the volume up and still could hear the relaxing music in the background. Always enjoy that actually. Thanks for another great video. For some reason I was reminded of Roscoe when you were playing with the cows..lol.
I liked all the videos and I turned my volume up and heard every word. Saved their page to my favorites so I can place a order. I have been here since day 1 and I get notified for every new video. Really enjoy the your videos of the farm and cooking and this cheese was icing on the cake.
I do love me some good cheese ! Cheese with bacon sounds good I may have to get some of that for my cousin for his birthday. He’s obsessed with bacon 🥓!
So fascinating to see all these behind the scenes of farms and in this case how cheese is made. Being from the city, this is pretty awesome to like witness if that makes sense lol
Sgt. Roos, John T. (Ret.) Those calves are so cute!:) But behind the scenes, there is quite a bit of care that goes into their 'upbringing'... LudwigFarmsteadCreamery do a great job in the raising of the cows! Semper Fidelis
Okay . . . you hooked me. Just placed an order for a sampler box. planning a surprise sit down cheese tasting with my wife and daughter (both avid cheese lovers). More than happy to do business with a family business.

I did like how they have their Free Stalls Setup compared to Almost All Free Stall Barns these Days, A Lot MORE Room Per Cow and I like that! I couldn’t tell if they were Bedded with Sand or Sawdust, it looked like Sand. I know the Calves were bedded with Sawdust from what I could see. You can tell that those Cows are Well Taken Care Of giving how Friendly they were, Not Skidish at all.
Erin,that video was beautiful.it doesn't matter about the sound quality the cows and calfs were so tame who wouldn't want to take one home.Its great that you are showing other aspects of farming whilst things aren't so busy for your farm.Stay safe and healthy during these times 👍🇬🇧
@@JC-uq5gi We had a Holstein Line back Bull with some of the biggest-Nasty Horns for any Bull and he chased me through the free stalls and up the barn rafters trying to get me. Even put his horns through the the Milk House door. My uncle finally got rid of him. Man he was bad. So yes you are right.
Hello from Germany, Thanks for the tour! The products directly from the farms are the best there is. Even if a similar product is offered in the supermarket, it is nowhere near as good as a directly marketed product. Even if these are "just" potatoes, the quality is usually much better. Unfortunately I live a little too far away to try the cheese, but I plan to travel to the USA one day. Will take a while, at the moment it would be better to refrain from doing so. I like to watch your interesting videos. You can always learn something from it. Thank you, stay healthy!
I know what you mean Erin! I love a good cheddar but it has to be a sharp one and the sharper the better... Love this vid on cheese really love when you were with your friends going over the different kinds of cheeses1 :)
Awesome to see this. I wish everyone knew how much hard work goes into caring for these animals, the work, costs and risks associated with food production. Hope you are able to get your audio equipment upgraded soon.
Great video Erin. Really enjoyed the small farm tour!
wow nice erin. they keep the place so clean, beautiful healthy cows. i love cheese too.
It's ALWAYS an awesome day when one can take a trip tp the local creamery! The nearest one to me, in is Tillamook Oregon, & it's 5 hours away. I remember fondly going there with mom & dad. We always came home with a container of cheese curds to enjoy on teh ride home.
Watching this video, all of a sudden I have a craving for...CHESE. oh I love cheese! Thank you for the tour. Outstanding
Thanks Erin for making such an interesting video

I like people who are passionate about what they love!thanks for showing that!
Fantastic video Erin thanks, they are some awesome cows so friendly, livestock that are loved great to see, thanks again stay safe.

Very nice tour. All the animals are well taken care of. Thank you!!
Love the tour, and those are some great looking holsteins! Keep up the great work!
Those are some happy and healthy cows. Kudos to the farmstead for taking such good care of their livestock.
Yup
That's for sure! Good products come from contented/happy cows! The least amount of stress possible!

happy? the calves are seperated from their mothers and locked in cages
Great cheese from happy cows! Can't beat that! Great video as always Erin! Also a big thank you to Tessa.
Thanks for the tour😊👍👍👍
The way the cows reacted when she approached each one and scratch their head shows that they are well taken care of and respected for what they provide.
Hey, you have a great channel Erin! Thanks for sharing all this stuff with us! Hope to see lot more off you and the farming! Lots of Greetings 🙂🙂🙂

Definitely one of your best videos. I really enjoyed it and I’m going to order some of their cheese. Keep up the great job you’re doing!
Thanks, Erin! Brought back fond memories of working on the University Farm to pay my way through...41 years ago.
No worries about the sound just looking at all that cheese is made me hungry. Nothing like listening to two beautiful women speak with soothing voices. Excellent video as usual Erin.
Nice operation everything is clean. The girls were very well mannered

When I saw the bag, I thought you were moving. All those green pillows to those from.👍

This was very interesting. Thanks for the tour, Erin!
Those cows are treated like Royals....Good work. Keep it up!
You keep getting better and better content. Can't wait till your back farming this season.
Interesting visit to the "cheese" farm. I just turned the volume up and still could hear the relaxing music in the background. Always enjoy that actually. Thanks for another great video. For some reason I was reminded of Roscoe when you were playing with the cows..lol.
Gonna try them out! Just ordered Jakes Bacon, Jakes Wheel and Feather Ridge. Thanks for the video, keep em coming!
Really enjoyed that visit Erin! Appreciate you taking us along! Love you! Blessings!

Same here with the volume. I just hit the mute button when I saw the countdown to the ads getting ready to start. Those are what's too loud!
By the way Erin, I must say that it is nice to see you posting comments and chatting here with us on your channel! :-) You're the best!
No worries on sound. As the channel grows so will the equipment. Guessing most of us will happily keep watching. Another good video, appreciate it.
Thank you so much for being so understanding!!
It's good to see you with some nice looking Holstein Dairy cattle
It all looks so good!
I do love me some good cheese ! Cheese with bacon sounds good I may have to get some of that for my cousin for his birthday. He’s obsessed with bacon 🥓!
I love this video. Who the heck doesn’t LOVE cheese, especially a wide variety like what’s shown here. Mmmmm good.
I've watched two of your videos in one day. I see a few cheeses I think I need to try. Those are happy and loved cows.
So nice and interesting. Thank you 🍀
Great video! Where I am in WI we have quite a few small farms creating butter, and cheese on site. Awesome concept with some amazing micro cheese's!
Those cows are super beautiful!! How awesome it must be to raise those animals!!!
Always nice to take a look behind the scenes .
So fascinating to see all these behind the scenes of farms and in this case how cheese is made. Being from the city, this is pretty awesome to like witness if that makes sense lol
Loved the tour. Thank you so much.
Love it. I know you love cheese and you’re taking it to the next level!

Great video darlin. I will be checking these guys out. Like you I am a suckered for a good cheese. Keep up the good work.
Just got my 1st order of cheese. Phenomenal flavor! Thanks for the tip Erin

Thanks for the field trip. Interesting!
Great recommendation on the cheese! I ordered a bunch and shared it and it is fantastic. Thank you
The babies are the cutest! Cheese looks good too.
Nothing like going straight to the source, local (family owned small businesses), to get fresh/quality cheese or whatever 👍🇺🇸
AMEN 🕊️👍💯 AGREE
That was fun, thanks for sharing
I wish I could have heard the video better but your doing a fantastic job bringing up farming news to the masses. We love your site
I'm from Wisconsin and i feel the same way towards the love of cheese. Shout out to you. 👌
Thank you for sharing this video so awesome I would love to try some of that cheese I’m getting hungry now lol
Being born on a Dairy Farm, I just love Holstein Calves and Cows. They have to be the most gentle of all.
@@JC-uq5gi We had a Holstein Line back Bull with some of the biggest-Nasty Horns for any Bull and he chased me through the free stalls and up the barn rafters trying to get me. Even put his horns through the the Milk House door. My uncle finally got rid of him. Man he was bad. So yes you are right.
Love your dairy farm

well done road trip make it more exciting
Erin.I agree with you. There is nothing like a good cheese. My favorite is a good pepper jack
Worked all around that area, many moons ago!
I know what you mean Erin! I love a good cheddar but it has to be a sharp one and the sharper the better... Love this vid on cheese really love when you were with your friends going over the different kinds of cheeses1 :)
Awesome video. You're amazing. Thanks for making it.
Again great video
Really enjoyed the video Erin. Love the background noise. Thanks

Awesome to see this. I wish everyone knew how much hard work goes into caring for these animals, the work, costs and risks associated with food production. Hope you are able to get your audio equipment upgraded soon.
Just ordered some cheese! Website is easy to use. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed the tour. Everyone has to love cheese. I'm going to order some to help support them..........bacon cheese sounds really good.
That was excellent ... time to buy some cheese!!!!
very well done. Looks like a very well managed operation. So how is Tessa related to the farm ?
O, Oh, you've created a monster. I'm gonna have to order some cheese now!!
