The owner of Sher-Brook Dairy told me that it is the \u201clittle moments\u201d that keep him going. He milks 32 cows, twice a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

The milk is certified organic. Farming is done organically and all cow care is accomplished with organic products.<\/p>\n

It was the owner\u2019s comment about \u201clittle moments\u201d that caught my attention. He wasn\u2019t speaking about the good days, plenty of which he has to offset the bad days. It was something beyond the good and bad of human life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s those small moments when I\u2019m out in the pasture, bringing in the cows and I feel at peace with the universe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He spends hundreds of hours on the tractor, planting, cultivating, and harvesting hay and corn. \u201cBut, there will be little moments when I\u2019m out on the tractor, by myself with the cows, and I experience a powerful good that keeps me going.\u201d<\/p>\n
