Lamplighter Farm update
.
Sadly. Lamplighter Farm & Creamery products will be unavailable for a while due to medical issues. Amy from Lamplighter Farm tells us:

I am so appreciative of everyone who has supported us and enjoyed our products. Due to long-term back issues that have worsened in recent months, I have to step back from my creamery. I will keep everyone updated on our farm's FB page for the future. Have a wonderful summer, everyone.
