Episode notes

In this week’s episode of Chewing The Cud, Karen and Dave give you an inside look at all the latest happenings on the farm. They’ll also spill the story behind Smoothy—the friendly face running The MilkShack—whose nickname has a delightful backstory of its own.

And speaking of The MilkShack, Karen shares how this nearly 10-year-old venture came to be. Born out of the challenging days of 2016, when dairy prices fell well below the cost of production, The MilkShack proved to be a lifeline for Halton Farms and a rallying point for the community.

Tune in to learn how adversity sparked innovation, why Smoothy’s role is so vital to the farm’s ongoing success, and what keeps The MilkShack going strong after all these years. It’s a heartwarming, behind-the-scenes peek into the resilience—and people—keeping Halton Farms at the forefront of dairy.
