A message from the Milkmaids @ Slak Market Farm...

​If so then you may want to read further because Slak Market Farm is looking for a few dairymaids with devotion.

Now before your mind wanders off into envisioning yourself as an apron-and bonnet-clad dairy woman,
wearing Sunday’s best while happily smiling from either the side of a cow or a cream separator.

   I gotta warn ya, this is an unrealistic vision and not at all how we roll around here!

 The “dairy queen pin-up” image that has been projected for centuries throughout the advertisement of the dairy industry romanticized and constructed notions of both the milkmaid and her duty. 
 This ideal to perpetuate femininity, sexuality, and attractiveness when working daily with sour milk, manure, and animals relayed that women should work as hard as men, with less leisure, and still keep their aprons clean, their hair tidy and a smile on their faces. 

​Essentially, the notion was not only to do their tasks well, but to look good and desirable while doing it.

 In reality, the toil of what was and still is the daily duties of challenging, dirty, and physical labor involved in dairying. 
 There are strict uniform and repetitive chores that involve: cleaning animals tracking in mud and manure.
 The cautionary handling, lifting, pouring, and cooling of milk. The sterile cleaning of dairy equipment. Along with the sacred routine of tending and caring for the animals. Not to mention the daily task of records and paperwork. 
Nevertheless, the benefits and rewards far outweigh the hardships and keep the scales balanced. 
This blessed position requires good intention, loyalty, and devotion.  
 Slak Market Milkmaids are highly valued. They are a source of true inspiration and encouragement to our raw milk community.  We are excited to offer you the opportunity to come into our herd share as a milkmaid.

Now, if your heart is screaming YES!!! and you think you'd love to join us every week in milking cows... ​

I kindly ask you to PLEASE take a moment and thoroughly think this through.
 It would be a 1-year contractual commitment of milking one (1) time a day (at a target time of 7 - 9:00 am), on one (1) scheduled day of the week. 
 In return, this milkmaid contract entitles you to one full share in our herd share boarding program.  
 I will begin holding interviews and offering the milkmaid share training soon.  Space is limited!
 Sign up below to tell us about your interest in owning one of the most valued share positions in our program.

    Yes, I would like an application to apply.

Are you aware that some birds feed milk to their young? Crop milk is a healthy substance comprise of cells molted from the lining of the crop. Adult birds of both sexes feed the matter to their young for the initial few days of life. Not all birds make crop milk; only pigeons and doves, flamingos, and males of some species of penguin. Exceptionally, despite the fact that crop milk is pretty different from mammalian milk, its production is boosted by prolactin, the similar hormone that leads milk production in mammals! Dairy products were an essential part of the diet of people in Penn’s time with butter in specific being used bountifully in numerous recipes. Butter was also well kept in earthen ware for later use, and even utilized as a preservative itself as it could build up a foolproof seal on crocks. And certainly it could be sold at market, often by the women who formed the butter.

Wow, you have beautifully decorated this post. I really appreciate it very much. People like you also exist in the world. Who share everything. And there are some people who do not share anything with anyone. I wish today's youth wrote your kind post, thank you very much.
