Eating locally

This new monthly column highlights the rich agricultural heritage of our region by featuring a local farmer or food producer, along with a submission of one of their favorite seasonal recipes.

An avid yogurt consumer, I discovered Wake Robin yogurt at the Auburn Wegmans this past summer. I had not previously heard of the brand and decided to give it a taste. Now both my husband and I are converts - it's a breakfast staple in our household, sprinkled with a handful of granola and sliced bananas. The maple flavor is our favorite. The side of the container tells a bit about the farm's story, but I was curious to learn more, so I recently stopped by the farm.

Wake Robin (named for a spring-blooming native wildflower) is a family owned and operated dairy farm in Jordan. It produces small batches of Ccream on topV whole-milk yogurt in plain, vanilla and maple-flavored quarts year-round. It offers milk seasonally for sale.
