A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of visiting the Lucky Layla Farm in Plano, Texas. I have long been a fan of their delicious yogurt smoothies/drinkable yogurts. They come in many flavors, and my favorite are the tropical flavors (Pina Colada, Passion Fruit, and another one I can't remember!). I've been buying them on and off for years at the Whole Foods in Plano, and just in the past year at the Mckinney Farmer's Market. They also make a mean cajeta too! Muy dulce...
They sell lots of their products at their farm store, and you can now buy raw milk by the gallon there too. (They only take cash or check!) From the research I've done, I've found that raw milk can be extremely beneficial to you, and most of the concerns are public health issues. A.J. is drinking goat's milk and rice milk right now, so I have not bought any there yet. Greg and I don't really drink milk. The little that I use is generally in cooking, and the heat, as it does in pasteurization, destroys most of the benefits of raw milk.
Anyway, regardless of whether or not you buy their products, it's nice to check out the farm. They have tours most days at 3:30, and you can check out the baby calves anytime. We saw one that had just been born a few days before. We didn't do the tour, as I was with 4 other toddlers and 1 other adult that day! I hope to go back and take the official tour some day.
They also have picnic tables where you can have a snack or enjoy lunch while you watch the cows graze in the fields. There's a slide for little kiddos and some hay bales. But watch out. The fence is electric. We learned that the hard way!
