Making Butter With Raw Milk From My Family's Cow

Last weekend, I visited my family in the Northwest.

In addition to soaking up my nieces and nephews' heart-melting smiles and giggles, chatting with my parents about the uncomely political landscape, and working out with my super fit brothers, I was also granted the opportunity to make butter with raw milk from my brother and sister-in-law's new cow, Butterscotch.

Butterscotch is undoubtedly the best addition to the family since either my nephew, Henty, or my niece, Lindy.

Here's a photo of Butterscotch delighting in a field of wild irises.

In all my years of butter advocacy, I'd never taken it upon myself to actually make the golden, nutrient-dense fat. And I must say, the experience was sacred. It felt like a culmination of sorts. Like my whole existence was preparing me for this hallowed event.

Anyway, I made a little video about it. Check it out below and let me know what you think.
