Draft Horses come to the farm! Meet the Norwegian Fjord and Belgian Mares Jodi and Kaesi

It was a wonderful day a few weeks ago when we brought Jodi and Kaesi to our farm. These horses were bonded to each other but not a working draft team. Kaesi is a 23 year old Belgian trained to ride and drive that we will be caretaking. We purchased Jodi who is an 11 year old Norwegian Fjord trained to ride. We are working on building trust through daily care and will slowly work up to riding and driving. Our plan is to use them for some projects on our farm while also continuing to use our tractors.

Clover Mountain Dairy is a seasonal Certified Organic small dairy farm located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Northeast Washington State near the town of Chewelah. In addition to being Certified Organic, we practice regenerative farming practices to improve the soil and for carbon sequestration. We are 100% grass fed and utilize managed intensive grazing (MIG) where we rotate them through our permanent pastures. Our herd is completely A2/A2 and we practice calf-sharing, not separating the babies and letting the cows raise their own calves. The mommas do a wonderful job! We process our own milk here on the farm. We gently vat pasteurize the milk and bottle it as creamtop whole milk, chocolate milk, Caffe Latte, and Eggnog (seasonally). We also make a full-fat cream top yogurt and assorted cheeses. All our fluid milk is bottled in glass returnable milk bottles. Our glass milk bottles are reused multiple times! The ultimate recycling! We market our milk through our local farmer's market and on farm sales. We are both military veterans and first generation farmers.
