Dairy Processing

PETALUMA, CALIF. — Organic dairy maker Straus Family Creamery added another family farm to its network of local organic milk suppliers.

Straus Family Creamery, which announced it will begin sourcing organic milk from Bordessa Family Dairies, noted that part of its mission involves the preservation of rural communities and sustainable family farming.

The Bordessa operation includes Bordessa Dairy and Ocean Breeze Dairy. Straus Family Creamery said the farms have a multi-generational legacy of pasture-based dairy farming. The Bordessa family has farmed in California’s Marin and Sonoma counties for more than a century.

Several plastic sample bottles sit on the ground nearby, and shade cloths overhead provide cover. The setup includes pumps, tubing, and monitoring devices, suggesting a water, soil, or nutrient treatment experiment.

These very hungry microbes devour a powerful pollutant

PETALUMA, Calif. — The cows had to be deterred from messing with the
experiment.

Researchers from a Bay Area technology company had come to the sprawling
dairy farm north of San Francisco to test an emerging solution to planetwarming emissions: microscopic pink organisms that eat methane, a potent
greenhouse gas.

Kenny Correia, 35, of Correia Family Dairy, watched the team from Windfall Bio
working near the lagoons used to store manure from the farm’s several hundred
cows. The researchers erected a futuristic system of vats, pipes, tubes and shiny
metal supports. Then, when everything was assembled, they poured pink liquid
into one of the vats. “They were looking like mad scientists out there,” Correia
recounted.

He acknowledged initially thinking it was a “crazy idea” to integrate an outdoor
laboratory into a working farm. There was the potential for the cows to “be all
over it — licking it, pulling out wires and scratching on it,” he said.
But livestock farms are a significant source of methane emissions, and Windfall
wanted to see how much the microbes could help.
