MooJesus
“What if it’s a cult?” said I, as we bumped over the cattle guard and the ranch gate closed behind us. What if that sweetly reasonable website was a lure and a trap for the unsaved such as ourselves?
We visited the MooJesus raw dairy today. Had to, once we saw the name of the place. I was browsing for local foods and ran across the website. The “Everything Jesus” ranch just outside of Seguin hosts the Genesis Christian Academy, and a farm producing organic produce and grass-fed meat, and one of only two licensed raw dairies in the state that does not use milking machines.
Well, they’re not a cult, and they’re perfectly delightful. We sampled the dairy products, took a tractor tour of the ranch/school/gardens and then had lunch. A leisurely lunch…it must have taken two hours; they’re not in a hurry to move their customers out down there. It’s a beautiful location, on what was once part of the Capote ranch, running along the Guadalupe river. I ate more dairy products than I usually consume in a month. It’s going to be at least 18 hours until I’m really hungry again. I’m thinking I need to get antithetical to milkfat for dinner…pickles. Yeah. That would do it.
No brainwashing occurred and they didn’t proselytize (except about sauerkraut) , but the garden, the livestock, the sheer amount of knowledge of raw and cultured foods over there are on my mind. I could live with that. Strangely, I found myself checking out their “help wanted” listing this evening.
More pickles, please.
