I'm all about keeping things simple and jalapeno poppers are great for that, just a few ingredients and minimal clean up required! Grab some jalapenos, cream cheese, WW Homestead Dairy mild cheddar, bacon, and a few seasonings. You'll also need a cutting board, sharp knife and a baking sheet.
Making jalapeno poppers is a straightforward process. If you've never done it before you'll be happy with how easy it is! Slice your peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes. If you enjoy the spicier side of life you can leave some of the seeds and membranes. Then you'll stuff your peppers full of your cream cheese, cheddar and bacon mix.

Ingredients:
  • 12 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 cups shredded mild cheddar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 slices of bacon, cooked & crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • green onions or chives, topped
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Cut jalapenos peppers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or knife to scrape out seeds and membranes (leave a few if you like a little more heat). Set peppers aside.
  3. Mix together shredded cheese, cream cheese, bacon and seasonings.
  4. Fill each pepper half with cheese mixture. Try to keep mixture level with the top of each pepper so that during baking they do not bubble over. Place each pepper on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake until tops are bubbling and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives.
  7. Use any extra cheese mix as a dip or sandwich spread.

The warm weather and sunshine we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Feeling the heat of the sun is a welcome treat after the winter months. A few weeks ago we were seeding oats and this week started planting corn! While the older generation is hauling around seed corn and working in the fields, the younger generation is just as busy hauling critters around the farm.

last minute winter projects!

3/15/2023

Spring keeps making tiny appearances, followed by another winter storm here in NE Iowa. Before you know it we'll be busy with fieldwork and cheese curd production, so full steam ahead with all of the winter projects we had planned for 2023.
If you follow us on our social media pages, you may have seen a post about our updated walls in the milking parlor. They needed to be replaced after years of cows bumping into them. Not only did they not look good, but they were getting difficult to clean, which made them really not look good. Now the walls are new, shiny and clean!

1/15/2023

4 Comments

 
A dairy cow is just a cow right? Well kind of but, did you know there are seven different dairy cow breeds found in the United States? Let's introduce you!
Holstein
The most popular breed found in the United States and probably the most recognized. These cows are black and white, tall and weigh 1,200-1,500 pounds when fully mature. Holsteins are prized for their milk production, at peak milk production they will produce around 23,000 pounds of milk a year. That equals out to about nine pounds of milk a day! On our farms, Holsteins make up the majority of the cows we have.
