When Five Acre Farms first contacted me about their products, I thought “ok, it’s milk, what could be the big deal?” I get the whole “local sourcing” thing, and always try to buy local produce, etc., if possible, but never thought to apply this to dairy.
The company generously provided samples of whole, reduced fat, and fat-free milk. My initial impression: WOW! I could not believe the difference in taste between Five Acre Farms milk and the milk I’d been buying forever. This milk is full of flavor (imagine that) and richness (yes, even the reduced and fat-free).
A week later, samples of their heavy cream and half and half arrived. I am a devoted half and half user for coffee. No half and half for the coffee? No, thank you. It’s my only vice and I don’t plan on giving it up anytime soon. Five Acre Farms half and half made my Stumptown Coffee even more amazing.
What did I do with the heavy cream? Whipped it into a smooth and creamy chocolate mousse that was heavenly.
