Durango Colony is the Old Colony Mennonite community we work most closely with, namely on water systems and promoting gardening. Thanks to the Schroeders for sharing these photos, taken on a recent trip of theirs.
Bringing in the cows. This is the dusty time of year--no significant rain since about March.
Home of the young Kroeker family, which includes 5 young children. What you can't see in this photo is their amazingly lush garden.
Both photos here are of cheese-making at the main Durango cheese factory; there are several, but all colony inhabitants are "members" of this one. The finished cheese is shipped to Santa Cruz twice a week and sold in the markets and supermarkets. It's quite dry and salty, which helps preserve it in less-than-refrigerated conditions...
Going home.
