MooHoo! What Savvy Farmers Know About Raw Milk Demand That You Don’t

We’re always inspired by stories from our customers, and I thought you might enjoy hearing about a farmer friend of ours who has seen his dairy business transformed by an unexpected surge in demand.

For over 50 years, he’s been quietly raising dairy cows, providing for his local community. But recently, he’s found himself selling up to 50 gallons of raw milk a day! The demand has grown as more families become conscientious about what goes into their food, and it turns out many people who are lactose intolerant can actually tolerate raw milk. This discovery has opened up his business to a whole new audience.

His farm is mooing with activity like never before.

Adapting to Growth with Quality Fencing

With this growth, he’s realized the importance of quality fencing to support his operation—from keeping his livestock secure to protecting his expanding facilities. He’s making sure his dairy cows stay safe, his property is protected, and his growing farm can continue to thrive.

Uncle Carroll Knows Best

Today, I want to share a story that takes me back to my early days—straight from my Uncle Carroll and his twin brother, Harold. Uncle Carroll was the kind of guy who’d see a thunderstorm rolling in, lean back with a grin, and say, “Let’s see if this old farm can handle a bit of wind.” He loved to tell a story with a spark in his eye and a laugh ready to roll. And there was Harold, always beside him on the porch, listening with a smirk but rarely saying a word.

One summer, I was visiting the farm when a wild storm blew in out of nowhere. The sky turned dark as night, the winds howled like they had a score to settle, and I swear, it felt like the whole house was trembling. “Better brace yourself,” Uncle Carroll said, “Mother Nature’s just warming up.” And boy, was she ever.

The next morning, we stepped outside, expecting the usual post-storm chaos—branches down, tools scattered, maybe even a chicken or two who’d gone on an unscheduled adventure. But what caught my eye was his fence, stretching along the pasture, looking like it hadn’t even blinked. And there was Harold, leaning against that fence, puffing on his pipe with a grin.

“That old fence,” Uncle Carroll laughed, slapping his knee, “I put that thing up thirty years ago, and it hasn’t blinked yet.”

Built to Last

Turns out, Uncle Carroll had built that fence to withstand anything. He didn’t believe in “just good enough.” He knew the value of solid, dependable work—especially when it came to protecting what mattered most. “That fence knows its job,” he told me with a wink. “Just like we do.”

And you know what? That’s the kind of fence we stand behind here at Louis E. Page. The kind Uncle Carroll would’ve trusted—one that we build to withstand the storms, big and small, that life throws at us.

A Fence You Can Count On

If you’re looking for a fence as solid as Uncle Carroll’s—one you can count on—you know where to find us. We’re here to help you build something that’ll stand the test of time, just like that old farm fence that stood proud after the storm.

Call our fabulous expert, Terry. She’s as solid as Uncle Carroll’s fence. Reach her at 978-486-3116.

P.S. A good fence isn’t just about keeping things in—it’s about standing strong, no matter what comes your way.

The Power of Belief: Why "Can't" Isn't in Our Vocabulary

At Louis E. Page, we often hear stories of those who push past perceived limits. Take Elon Musk, for example—he’s made "can’t" an unacceptable word in his life, a mindset that powers him toward groundbreaking achievements. He’s shown that when we believe in what’s possible, we open doors to ideas that can change the world.

Imagine what more humanity could achieve if we all believed we "can!"

Breaking Barriers with Fencing Solutions

At Louis E. Page, we carry this same mindset, focused on providing the best in fencing solutions that meet and exceed our clients' needs. When we look at your projects—whether it’s securing a solar farm or protecting delicate ecosystems—we’re inspired to go beyond limits, just like Musk. With the right mindset, every challenge is simply a problem waiting to be solved.

Let’s Build What Others Think Is Impossible

If there’s a project or challenge on your mind, reach out to Terry, our fencing expert, at 978-486-3116. Together, we’ll show that "can’t" isn’t in our vocabulary.

Longing for Beauty and Justice – Even Behind Fences

I’ve just returned from a remarkable conference on "Longing for Beauty and Justice," inspired by the writings of C.S. Lewis. This longing for beauty is that feeling when you look out the window and see the misty mountain, knowing something exists beyond it—something greater, something more.

This morning, as I reflected on this longing for beauty, I was reminded of a story shared long ago by Corrie Ten Boom. Alongside her sister Betsy, she endured unimaginable hardships in a Nazi concentration camp. Surrounded by towering security fences that closed them off from the world, they could see nothing beyond the boundaries imposed on them. Each day, they would line up at dawn, facing a seemingly endless reminder of confinement and suffering.

But one morning, in the midst of that grim twilight, Betsy looked up—and there, soaring above, was a lark. The sight of this small bird, a simple symbol of beauty and freedom, pierced through their despair. It reminded them that beauty could find its way into even the harshest places.

Fences and the Spaces They Create

As I reflected on this story, I realized how often beauty and freedom are present in places we might least expect. At Louis E. Page, we may deal in fences and enclosures—structures that mark boundaries or provide protection. Yet, we know that fences can also create spaces for growth, peace, and beauty.

Whether it’s a backyard enclosed for a family gathering, a community garden protected from intrusions, or a farm safeguarding its precious livestock, fences play a role in nurturing what lies within and preserving a vision of justice and security.

Corrie and Betsy’s story reminds us that while fences can feel like barriers, they also create spaces where we can cultivate and protect what matters most. And, like the lark above the camp, beauty and justice have a way of finding us, even beyond the boundaries.

Creating Spaces That Matter

Thank you for letting us serve you and for trusting us with your spaces. May we always find ways to see beauty—wherever we are.

If you’re looking to create a space that balances security with beauty, Terry, our beautiful fence expert, is here to help. She’ll guide you to the products you need. Call her at 978-486-3116.

Wishing you a day full of joy and "found beauty",
