In honor of Dairy Month and the economic boost that dairies bring to our community we are featuring Hillside Dairy this week with a lovely history written by Pete Olsen. And thanks to the Farm Bureau, next week we launch July with a super fun Homemade Ice Cream contest.
I’m a fan of dairy. Like a strapping Scandinavian girl should be.
In 1906 my Great-Gramma Ethel’s father, Charles Wallace Brooks started Model Dairy in Reno. My gramma Gi-Gi, as we called her, married William Gadda who was fresh off the boat from Italy and worked for her father at the dairy.
My childhood revolved around good, good food, if you can imagine.
And so, we feature dairy and dairy. I hope those of you who are ice cream cranking fools will send in a recipe or four. Maybe we should have a party, and everyone bring their concoctions! I digress. It’s way past lunch and we’ve got to get this paper out.
So, while I dream of cheese and my homemade raspberry ice cream that my momma taught me to make, we’ll be right here…
…Keeping you Posted.
