Week #19 - Candied delights

We are always looking to add value to what we produce on the farm and continue to explore what we can make from the various animal and plant byproducts we raise. 

Over the past year I've been experimenting with using our goat's milk to create caramel candies. My family has 'suffered' greatly acting as guinea pigs for various recipes until we created one that seems to the be favorite! 

We continue to experiment with the most efficient and economical way to package them but it seems like parchment paper has been the most effective. We can get about 150 candies out of each batch and we've got it down to a science on how to quickly wrap and package them all. 

As we don't always have a fresh goat's milk available we have experimented with freezing our raw milk and using it throughout the winter.. I can't tell the difference in the caramels so it seems to be a great way to extend our production all year round! 

Interested in trying some of our caramels.... you can check out our products page for more information!
