Now there are more than 100. We like having the farm come to us. But now more than ever we are also welcome at the farm—where we can observe (and taste!) the new artisanship in action. The recipe is simple: small batches yield high quality. Just add passion, know-how, and hard work. Valley Shepherd Creamery In the pastures of Long Valley, near the Raritan River in Morris County, Eran Wajswol’s 460 sheep graze and bleat as sheep have done for thousands of years. Using all-natural ingredients, Old World recipes, and traditional cave aging, Wajswol makes splendid artisan cheeses from their milk. But he gladly lets technology lend a hand. Twice a day, in the “milking parlor,” a computerized lactation carousel that handles 60 sheep at once—the only one in the U.S. for sheep, Wajswol claims—milks 300 ewes per hour. In the cheese room, vats of milk are heated to the precise temperatures required to activate specific strains of bacteria to produce just the right texture of curd. “Machinery helps you pay attention to what’s important,” Wajswol says.

Most keratoacanthoma result only minimal skin destruction, but some perform more belligerently and can spread to lymph nodes. Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a increase that is fairly common, benign, and most commonly found in elderly light-skinned individuals. KA is a rapidly growing growth on the skin that expands from 1-2mm to 1-3cm over a few weeks, and develops into a smooth dome-shaped growth with a central keratin core. It is more common with individuals having an increased degree of sun exposure and is often found at sites of previous injury or trauma. It seems that keratoacanthomas occur from a single hair follicle as they are only seen on hair-bearing skin, not on the palms. A small injury seems to be necessary to cause off a keratoacanthoma but this is frequently either not apparent or unremembered by the patient. Cells begin multiplying in the hair follicle and the cell mass grows into a keratoacanthoma. It is not associated with internal malignancy, except in rare instances where multiple keratoacanthomas are related with a disease process called Muir-Torre syndrome. Males are more often affected than females. KA is less common in darker-skinned individuals.
