slow food (St. George, Washington, Hildale: home, to buy, legal)

[where_am_i]

Just arrived in town the other day wondering if there are other Slow Food adherents in or around SG? Trying to find a good place to get raw milk and cheese as well as eggs (ie someone who has a few chickens and is willing to sell some of their eggs would be the most ideal situation). Tried to get to the website of one dairy that sells raw milk but couldn't (finney farms). Thanks...

I think Finney is located in Hildale, about 45 miles away. They do have a website:

Welcome to Finney Farm Home Dairy

Yes I am aware of this but every time I try to access it I can't (there is some problem with the site). Either way it is a bit of a ways so I was wondering if there is anyone closer by who does have either of those things (chickens and cows and willing to sell eggs and milk) that locals may know of?

It must be your DNS. I have no trouble accessing their site.


edit: I'd call or email them to see if they sell to any retail outlets in St. George or they may even know where in town you might be able to purchase such products. Their phone number and email are on their website. Let me know if you want it.

I read in the paper that they are at the Farmer's Market at Ancestor Square (corner Main St. and St. George Blvd.) on Saturday mornings.

Thanks for offering to do that but I won't put you through the trouble. I was just at Natural Grocers today and they said a few other people have expressed an interest in Raw Milk so they would be willing to be a drop off point for it (since its not legal in Utah to sell raw milk retail we would have to buy it direct from the farm)

And you know I was planning to go there this morning but something came up and I couldnt make it. I am going there for sure next week so thanks for the heads up.

You can schedule to come in and milk the cow yourself and get the raw milk, I'm pretty sure she'd let you come in and get some eggs as well. They milk the cows at 8am and 8pm. Her name is Sherri Reeder and she owns the farm out in Washington Fields, it's an amazing little place.
