Allison’s Yogurt and Granola

Jump to Recipe

Serving granola with homemade yogurt and berries is very common at our farm. Everyone breaks to enjoy a ‘4 o’clock’ snack when the kids get home off the bus after school. We take a short time to catch up as a farm family (this includes our employees) before evening chores.

We eat it with fresh berries in the summer or simply warm up frozen ones in the winter. It’s a great snack during a long day of work. I usually make a double batch on Sundays to last us the week!
