Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite moments from 2025. This post quickly became a fan favorite across our social communities on National Almond Day in February.

It’s , and we’ll give almonds their moment. They shine in trail mix, on green beans, even as a pie garnish — but in a glass? Not so much.

So, we wrote a few lines to celebrate — sort of. 😉🥛

Oh, almonds, today is your day.
It’s your time to shine.
So, take a moment — go on, it’s fine.

You swirl in lattes, you fill up a glass,
But let’s be honest, you’re mostly just mass.

Your protein is lacking, your calcium weak,
A watered-down version of dairy’s physique.

The science is clear, no need to stall
Dairy’s the winner — nutrition and all.

So, sip if you want, but know what is true
Milk does it better — science says so, too.

Who adopted Bessie 2 years ago?! We are proud to announce she had her first calf this week and is now a member of our milking herd. Here she is in one of our milking robots. Her calf is so sweet isn’t she?!

Thank you to Ms. McKee’s class in Texas for your letters! Here’s a picture one of you drew! You had a lot of great questions, so we just wanted to answer a few!

May is very comfortable in her barn with her friends. It is getting colder so we are closing up the walls for winter.

Farmer Stacy’s kids are in 1st and 2nd grade and while she doesn’t like video games, her kids like Minecraft.

We didn’t not build our milking robots ourselves, but we purchased them from a company that makes all kinds of dairy equipment.

May’s mom is 2 years old and is also named May. May has no brothers or sisters. She was her mom’s first calf!

Thanks again for your letters! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
