All of their Jersey cows are A2/A2, which means the protein in the milk is the original protein, the healthiest and easiest to digest. The cows live out their lives in full on the farm but if for whatever reason some of the cows do not get along, they are sold to other farms. The milkers have 3 acres of fenced off land and together the bulls and dry cows have an additional 3 acres. The cows are bred naturally with a British white bull. There is a shelter available for them, but the animals only really use it during the freezing cold rain. As far as diet is concerned, they are fed non GMO alfalfa hay, native grassland, certified organic Modesto milling grain, apple cider vinegar and kelp. Hay and grass make up 97% of their diet and organic grain supplement makes up the rest.

        No antibiotics or hormones are used on the cows. Erin is an herbalist and thus treats infections with natural remedies. To keep the cows clean, they are washed with organic peppermint soap.

Crooked Sky Farm

        Crooked Sky Farms began in 1994 by Frank Martin. After seeing his father (a farmer who used industrial agricultural methods) die at a young age he was determined to farm using natural methods, before the days of toxic pollutants, genetic modifications and chemicals. Since starting his farming career he coordinated the largest CSA program in Arizona in 1999 and has become a NewTime Best of Phoenix 2012 winner.

        The farm is located in regions all across Arizona such as Phoenix, Glendale, and Duncan, Arizona and spans over 420 acres. One reason for doing this is that Duncan provides a cooler 3500 foot elevation higher than phoenix, which allows Farmer Frank to provide produce year round to his customers. Some of the practices he uses are; heirloom seeds, natural care of the soil and crop rotation. He makes his own compost but also buys organic compost from a local dairy farm. He gets most of his seeds from Johnny’s Selected Seeds and the Baker Creek Company.

        Some of the produce grown on the farm include: Purple Majesty Potatoes, Lemon Cucumbers, Yellow Doll, Snow Leopard, Black Diamond melons, Heirloom Tomatoes, I'itois Onions, Big Jim Chiles, Shishito Peppers, kale, mustard greens, chard, pumpkins, Native Cushaw Squash, bell peppers, and a mix of salad greens.

They sell a variety of grains, some being White Sonora Wheat, Red Fife, yellow corn, chickpeas, Farro, Hard Red Spring and golden durum. “White Sonora Wheat is the oldest variety of white wheat in North America…it is desert adapted and their farmers find that it needs less water than modern varieties.” This type of wheat is sold in type 00 flour, all-purpose flour and whole wheat. Red Fife is “a precursor to wheat and was eaten by the people of the fertile crescent more than 2,000 years ago. It has recently been rediscovered as a low-gluten, high protein grain with a nutty flavor and chewy texture.” This grain comes in bread flour and germ and bran.
