It has become a Saturday routine… sleep in, make breakfast, watch a little Noggin channel if I have Jude for the week, pretty much just be lazy until we go to the farm.  Branched Oak Farm is out by…. yes, you guessed it, Branched Oak Lake.  It’s about a 15 min. drive outside of Lincoln.  They have raw milk and it’s yum yum good.  I was a little nervous at first to be drinking raw milk, but after doing a little research on the internet, and thinking about everything I know about breastmilk, I was hooked.  It is whole milk so it’ pretty creamy if you’re used to 1% or skim.  Raw just means well, simply raw… it’s not pasturized, not homogonized, not anything.  Which means, without getting too scientific, it’s got all the good stuff still in-tact.  The other thing that’s great about Branched Oak Farm is that it’s out by the winery, so you can go get your milk from the farm, and go get hopped up doing a little wine-tasting all in one short scenic Nebraska drive.  Oh, and on todays trip we were told that about 20 of the cows are pregnant and due in the next few weeks, so now we’ll get to see cute little baby cows, or “puppies”, as Jude calls them when we go out to get our milk.  It’s MOOOO’licous.
