Regulars at the Farmer's market may want to keep the Dallams in your thoughts!  Their ice cream is delicious!

Subject: Broom's Bloom Dairy Barns have burned down


To all our customers, 

This morning Kate and David Dallam, owners of Broom's Bloom Dairy, lost both their barns and over half of their dairy cows that were in the barn to be milked. Kate is very calm because David was in the barn and wasn't hurt, and that they are insured for everything. The remaining herd are being taken to a neighboring dairy farm where they will stay and be milked on a regular basis til a new barn can be built. I haven't been there, the traffic getting there is bumper to bumper and the fields are full of vehicles of those people who did go. The barn went up like a match, very quickly. The fire company was able to save the silos, I believe. If you are wanting to do anything for Kate and David, please patronize Broom's Bloom Dairy store or the stand at the Waverly Market. Kate and David will still need to make a living during this time. 

Update:
 
Worley just called, the fire took the lives of 9 cows that were in the barn waiting to be milked. David was able to get the rest of them out. The Dairy Cooperative is helping David and Kate to get their old barn at the Homelands Farm up and running so they can milk there. The Homelands Farm is where they started milking until about 10 years ago when they built the Broom's Bloom Barns. The dairy cows have been taken to a neighboring farm so they can be milked tonight. The local farming community has really come together to help Kate and David. 

Thanks for all your concern,
Cindi
