Join the good folk at Bellwether Farms in raising funds to help farmers and families in Northern California.
Covid-19 has caused widespread disruption to agricultural businesses and family farms. Fifty % of the US food supply is consumed in restaurants and with so many restaurants closed, the impact on artisan dairy production is substantial—Bellwether Farms' food service customers have not ordered since the end of March.
Simply put, the farms' network of family sheep dairies is now producing a lot more milk than they can effectively sell. Simultaneously, the massive unemployment throughout our economy is putting unbelievable strain on our essential hunger relief organizations.
Bellwether Farms finds itself in a unique position to help both farmers and those in need of high-quality nutrition. That’s why the farmers have starting Project Spilled Milk.
Project Spilled Milk aims to make the best out of a bad situation—that farmers are supported and that food gets to people who need it.
All funds raised from this innovative campaign will be used to purchase sheep milk from our local farmers, which will be used to make delicious yogurt to donate to Bay Area food banks.
Bellwether pledges to dedicate one production shift each week to this effort. If the farm is successful in raising its goal of $50,000, it will be able to buy the milk, ingredients, and packaging necessary to deliver 25,000 16oz containers of yogurt to food banks in Northern California.
