Milk Thistle Farms

Last month, Theodore Thistle, Winnie Windshield, and the whole gang traveled to upstate New York near the Hudson. Check out their visit to Milk Thistle Farm. Who knew that what a cow eats reflects what the milk will taste like? Certain grasses will yield a certain sweetness or sourness to the taste of milk. That’s the nature of an organic milk farm. Most of us drink the same tasting milk because the cows are fed the same thing day in and day out.

Another interesting thing is that the vehicles they have on the farm have their vehicle glass protection. Their two pick up trucks, tanker, and SUV, all have glass protection. Winnie Windshield and Sierra Sideglass are both relieved about that.

With spring comes all things new in this part of the world. The new growth has Theodore Thistle all excited as his relatives will all be sprouting up again – dotting the countryside with their purple and white flowers. As you travel this spring, looking out the windshield and door glass of your vehicle, remember to look at the beauty around you.

Theodore Thistle’s next trip takes him to a place where thistles truly become an art form. He’ll be visiting the headquarters of Mackenzie-Childs in Aurora, NY. You can stroll their beautiful gardens and then see all their thistle designed products, from bath mats to vases to dishware. Theodore is excited about this trip.
