FINNEY FARMS HOME DAIRY, HILDALE, UTAH

Those lucky enough to have visited the twin towns of Colorado City and Hildale have probably taken away one of its treasures, the cheeses of the Finney Farms Home Dairy.

It is run by Winford Barlow and a nicer man to meet would be a task if you were not already surrounded in a sea of people who are warm and friendly, once they determine you are not out to destroy them and their family.  

If you get the opportunity, stop by. The first thing you'll receive is a handshake, the next is some of the best cheeses West of Wisconsin.

Finney Farm Home Dairy

"Made in the true artisan style, our cheeses are hand crafted in small batches with the milk from a single day’s milking from a small herd of registered Brown Swiss cows. Absent the luxury of mountain pasture, the cows are fed a diet of rich alfalfa hay and a ration of grains and minerals, free of animal byproducts. Our milk is also rBST free, and with no antibiotics. As the milk’s properties change with the seasons, the cheese changes as well, giving each batch its own unique qualities."

Any questions or comments please e-mail us at
Coming soon: Details and photos of our small farm. you can see our old farm website at www.winford.barlow.net   check it out!

BOUNTIFUL SCHOOL EXPANDS

If you listen to that crackpot at the Vancouver Sun, Daffy Branham, and the little old sour biddys in Creston, BC, The children of Bountiful, all 600 of them, are illiterate due to the fact that their parents do not educate them.

That is difficult to reconcile with the Canadian School Ministry who monitors the academic achievement of all its schools, and finds that the children of Bountiful score AT LEAST 10 percent higher than their counterparts in the rest of Canada.

Like the U.S., Canada's economy is not doing too well, probably due to it's close ties with its neighbor.

On the other hand, Bountiful thrives. These are pictures of the latest expansion, and new projects are already underway:














For a group of people who supposedly spend their entire day waterboarding their children, they seem to get an awful lot done, don't they?
