We've just had another fantastic week on the reserve with the key sightings being a fine drake Green-winged Teal (Ynys Feurig Hide, daily since its discovery on the 11th), two Otter (Domen Las Hide,10th) and a big bull Grey Seal (Domen Las Hide, 12th).
This Green-winged Teal from North America could possibly be the same individual recorded on the reserve at the end of May this year. Note the vertical white stripe near the breast which is one of the main plumage differences between Green-winged and Eurasian Teal (Many Thanks to John Davis for the photograph).
This huge bull Grey Seal caught an equally impressive salmon infront of the Domen Las hide during the week (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo).
Another excellent find was a Great Northern Diver, first seen from the Domen Las Hide on the 11th. The bird, which ranged from the Breakwater Hide to the Domen Las Hide, was regularly seen feeding on the estuary at high tide throughout the week.
Highlights from the November Wetland Bird Survey (WEBS count) undertaken on the 10th included, 341x Barnacle Geese, 1x Pink-footed Goose, 7x Greylag Geese, 246x Mallard, 2x Gadwall, 16x Shoveler, 168x Wigeon, 5x Goldeneye, 15x Red-breasted Merganser, 21x Little Egret, 52x Redshank, 1x Spotted Redshank, 5x Snipe, 6x Bar-tailed Godwit, 15x Black-tailed Godwit, 388x Curlew and 2x Kingfisher.
A nice selection of raptors continued to hunt on the reserve including, 3+ Red Kite (daily), 3+ Common Buzzard (daily), 1x Sparrowhawk (Wetland Trail, 12th), 2x Kestrel (daily), 1x Peregrine (saltmarsh, daily) and 1x Merlin (Ynys Feurig Hide, 13th).
With their main feather moult now complete the reserve's Red Kites look even more stunning whilst patrolling over the saltmarsh (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo taken from the Domen Las Hide).
On the non-avian front the mild weather allowed a few Common Darter dragonfly, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Peacock and a single Brimstone butterfly to remain active. A report of a Water Shrew, all be it dead, was a good record for the reserve at Ynys Edwin.
Other interesting sightings this week included, 6x Goosander (Domen Las Hide, regular), 1200 Lapwing (Ynys Feurig Hide, 11th), 39x Dunlin (Ynys Feurig Hide, 12th), 1x Little Stint (Ynys Feurig Hide, 12th), 7x Greenshank (Ynys Feurig Hide, 11th), 1x Water Pipit (Saltings Hide, 11th & 12th), 3x Chiffchaff (Wetland Trail Boardwalk, 12th) and Crossbill (heard calling behind Visitor Centre, 14th).

We're offering weekly guided walks every Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. Tom, one of our interns will be pointing out some of the wildlife and explaining about the management work done on the reserve.
If you are interested please ring us on: 01654 700222, to book a place. Alternatively, you can just turn up at the visitor centre at 9:50 Wednesday morning.
Its £2.50 for RSPB members and £5 for non-members, and please remember to bring waterproofs and suitable footwear as some of the trails may be muddy.
Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo of Black-tailed Godwits, a popular sighting on recent guided walks.
The spectacle of thousands of wetland birds feeding and roosting on the Breakwater field over high tide has to be one of the main highlights over the past week. With the high tides being over five metres most of the saltmarsh was inundated with seawater pushing the estuary birds over the railway line and onto the wet grassland. Peak counts from the Breakwater field over the past week included, 20x Shoveler (8th), 10+ Pintail (8th), 1x Golden Plover (5th), 900+ Lapwing (8th), 37x Dunlin (8th), 125x Redshank (7th), 1x Spotted Redshank (7th & 8th), 4x Greenshank (8th), 36x Black-tailed Godwit (7th), 19x Bar-tailed Godwit (7th) and 500+ Curlew (7th).
Over 100 Oystercatcher could be seen roosting on the saltmarsh (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo).
Another highlight was a single Water Pipit observed feeding alongside Meadow Pipits right in front of the Saltings Hide (4th & 7th). Fingers crossed that this scarce bird will winter on the reserve.
The wintering flock of Greenland White-fronted Geese increased to 20 birds (5th) with the Breakwater Hide being the best place to catch a glimpse of the birds, which tend to hang out on either the saltmarsh or wet grassland to the west. The diversity of feral waterfowl on the reserve increased with 1x Australian Shelduck, 1x Cackling Goose and 1x Pink-footed Goose joining the flocks of Canada and Greylag Geese grazing on the reserve.
Over 360 Barnacle Geese remained on the saltmarsh, including some returning colour ringed birds. Last winter a small number of Barnacle Geese were ringed here (blue ring with a number and letter on the left leg, metal ring on the right leg) in order to find out where the birds moved to during the breeding season. Through people reporting their sightings, it was discovered that the geese were heading up to the Lakes District in North West England. On the 8th November, I managed to get great views of two of the colour ringed Barnacle Geese, 3C and 3T, a pair who were grazing with their two offspring opposite the Domen Las Hide.
Keep a lookout for colour ringed Barnacle Geese like 3C and 3T who were seen feeding with their two offspring from the Domen Las Hide.
The Starling roost continued to provide some excellent viewing from the Ynys Eidiol screen. On the 2nd November around 5000 birds put on a great show which was lengthened due to the presence of a huge female Peregrine and 2 Sparrowhawk on the lookout for a Starling supper. Check out the RSPB Mid Wales Facebook Page for a short video of the murmuration taken during the week.
On the non-avian front, a small number of Red Admiral butterfly and a single Common Darter dragonfly took advantage of the milder weather at the beginning of the week and of course how can I forget the superb autumn colours that are currently on show in the woodlands.
Wrens could occasionally be heard belting out short bursts of song (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo).
Other interesting sightings this week included, 3x Gadwall (pair Marian Mawr Hide, 8th and 1x female Ynys Edwin Pool, daily), 3x Goldeneye (1ml 2fm, Domen Las Hide, 8th), 8x Red-breasted Merganser (Breakwater Hide, regular), 9x Little Grebe (Domen Las Hide, 4th), 1x Great Crested Grebe (Breakwater Hide, 8th), 47x Little Egret (roosting on the northern side of the estuary), 1x Hen Harrier (male, Wetland Trail Boardwalk, 3rd), 1x Peregrine Falcon (Saltmarsh, regular), 1x Green Sandpiper (Domen Las Hide, 8th), 2x Kingfisher (Domen Las Hide, 4th), Redwing (small numbers around Visitor Centre, daily), Chiffchaff (heard calling around the Ynys Eidiol screen, regular) and c.40 Lesser Redpoll (Wetland Trail Boardwalk, regular).
The conservation team have been back out undertaking habitat management around the Marian Mawr pools. On this occasion we were busy cutting back vegetation on the islands, a continuation of work which began last winter. Regular visitors to the reserve will remember the substantial amount of scrub which was removed from the large island in front of the Marian Mawr hide in the hope of getting the area into top condition for breeding and feeding wetland birds.
With boat in tow the team headed across the choppy waters to tackle the forest of rosebay willowherb, bramble and juncus. Armed with brushcutters, loppers and rakes the vegetation was quickly cleared, leaving the islands in favourable condition for next years breeding season.
Sylvia got stuck into the willow re-growth
Back on the mainland the team handed over vegetation control to the reserve's herd of Welsh mountain ponies. Over the next few weeks the ponies will be grazing around the pool edges to further reduce the grass sward height, which will encourage species such as wigeon and curlew to forage in the area.
The reserve's Welsh mountain ponies will hopefully make short work of the vegetation around the Marian Mawr pools.
The Dyfi Estuary plays host to the only regular wintering flock of Greenland White-Fronted Geese in the whole of Wales and England, therefore news of our first returning birds, ten on the 28th October, was a real highlight on the reserve this week. The geese were sighted regularly throughout with 3 on the Breakwater field (29th) and at least 10 on the saltmarsh, viewed from the Ynys Feurig Hide (1st).
A superb male Hen Harrier was regularly seen hunting on the reserve with the first sighting from the Marian Mawr Hide (24th). Visitors also had exceptional views of the male harrier from the Wetland Trail Boardwalk (1st). A ringtail Hen Harrier also remained in the area where it was observed from the public footpath which runs parallel to the Afon Cletwr (Os Grid Ref: SN646939). Other bird of prey sightings included, 3x Red Kite (Wetland Trail, 27th), 1x Common Buzzard (regularly perched in a dead tree next to the Visitor Centre pools), Peregrine Falcon (saltmarsh, regular) and Kestrel (Visitor Centre and Ynys Feurig Hide, daily).
Kingfishers were regularly sighted throughout the week including this bird from the Domen Las Hide (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo).
The Breakwater field played host to an excellent variety of wetland birds which included, 3x Whooper Swan (29th), 350+ Teal (29th), 17x Shoveler (29th), 7x Black-tailed Godwit (1st) and Snipe (27th).
The Breakwater field can be viewed from the Breakwater and Ynys Feurig Hide. This photograph, which includes three Whooper Swans (can you see them?), was taken from the Ynys Feurig Hide during the week.
The Starling roost remained at the Ynys Eidiol screen providing some good viewing with c. 3000 birds roosting on the 27th. A single Little Grebe was also sighted from the screen (28th).
This Redshank showed well from the Domen Las Hide (Many Thanks to Keith Roberts for the photo).
Other interesting sightings this week included, otter from the Domen Las Hide (1st), Hare (Wetland Trail, regular), Red Admiral (Wetland Trail, 1st), 365x Barnacle Geese (saltmarsh, daily), 56+ Shelduck (Ynys Feurig Hide, 1st), 2x Gadwall (Marian Mawr Hide, 30th), 4x Goosander (Breakwater Hide, 1st), 7x Red-breasted Merganser (Breakwater Hide, regular), 1x Great Crested Grebe (Breakwater Hide, 27th), 1x Bar-tailed Godwit (Breakwater Hide, 1st), 23x Stock Dove (sacrificial seed crop near the Breakwater Hide, 29th) and 30+ Redwing (Visitor Centre, regular).
Feathered Thorn moths were occasionally found snoozing on the reserve's buildings.
Finally, many thanks to everyone who emailed their Ynys-hir wildlife photographs over the past week. If you have taken any photographs of wildlife on a recent visit to the reserve and would be happy for them to feature in the Recent Sightings Blog then please email them to the following address: email@example.com.
Welcome to an eventful fortnightly addition of the sightings blog. With so much going on at this time of year it's been difficult to pick a highlight, however two daytime sightings of otter, one from Domen Las Hide (20th) and one from the Ynys Eidiol viewing screen (23rd) is exciting news for those (including me) who are trying to catch a glimpse of these elusive critters on the reserve.
Wintering birds continued to arrive throughout with our first Redwings (10 on the Wetland Trail, 22nd) and Whooper Swans (4x over 20th and 22nd, possibly the same birds). A Starling roost has established in the reedbed in front of the Covert Du Hide with c.500 birds murmurating at present, numbers are likely to increase as birds continue to arrive into the country over the next few weeks.
November moths were occasionally seen on gates and pathside vegetation during the week.
The remnants of ex-hurricane Gonzalo failed to deposit any American or sea birds onto the reserve however birds sheltering on the Breakwater field on the 21st included, 32x Little Egret, 10x Shoveler, 20+ Redshank, 1x Greenshank and 4x Black-tailed Godwit.
Raptors patrolling on the reserve over the past fortnight included, 3+ Red Kite (daily), 1x Hen Harrier (ringtail, Hen-hafod, 21st and Ynys Feurig Hide, 24th), Common Buzzard (daily) and Kestrel (Visitor Centre, daily).
Hares were occasionally sighted on the grassland (Many Thanks to Liam Olds for the photo).
Other interesting sightings included, Tufted Duck (Breakwater Hide, 16th), 5x Red-breasted Merganser (Breakwater Hide, 22nd), 23x Lapwing (Ynys Feurig Hide, 22nd), 6x Black-tailed Godwit (Breakwater Hide, 21st), 2x Snipe (Marian Mawr field, 23rd), Kingfisher (Marian Mawr Hide, daily), Rock Pipit (Saltings Hide, regular), 2x Stonechat (Saltings Hide, regular), Chiffchaff (occasionally heard calling in the reserve hedgerows) and 2x Yellowhammer (Saltings Hide, 20th).
Small numbers of Chiffchaff can still be heard calling in the reserve hedgerows, often as part of a foraging mixed flock (Many Thanks to Laurie Wright for the photo).
Finally, have you been on a recent visit to Ynys-hir and taken photographs of the wildlife? Would you be happy for your photos to feature in our sightings blog? If you have answered yes to these questions we would love to hear from you. Please email your Ynys-hir wildlife photos to the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Many Thanks,
If you have dropped into the reserve recently you may have spotted the conservation team working around the water bodies in front of the Saltings and Marian Mawr hides. The team have been busy cutting the vegetation around the pool edges in order to open up the vista for feeding wetland birds and of course you the visitors.
Fellow intern Tom focussed on strimming the wetland edge near the Saltings hide
The vegetation has been raked into small piles to try and reduce the spread of nutrients back into the soil, the piles will also provide a home for lots of invertebrates and potentially grass snake.
Volunteers Rebeka, Declan and Georgina created habitat piles which will hopefully prove popular with grass snake.
The pools have attracted a great variety of wildlife lately including, Great White Egret, Teal, Water Rail, Green Sandpiper, Ringed Plover, Snipe, Kingfisher and Fox. We're hoping our efforts will help continue the good run.
A combination of sporadic heavy showers, strong gusts and the month's highest tides always had the potential to spice things up on the reserve. They certainly did when 3x juvenile Arctic Terns were spotted from the Breakwater Hide (6th). The reserve also played host to some late passage birds around the Breakwater Hide which took the form of 1x Whinchat, 2x Wheatear and 5x Chiffchaff (8th).
The Breakwater field wetted up nicely following the heavy rain creating excellent conditions for large numbers of foraging and roosting wetland birds with 200+ Wigeon (9th), 47x Pintail (9th), 7x Shoveler (9th), 18x Shelduck (10th), 4x Bar-tailed Godwit (10th), 6x Black-tailed Godwit (10th) and 555x Curlew (10th) to name a few.
A Common Lizard was spotted basking on a small grass heap next to the Wetland Trail Boardwalk (Many Thanks to Liam Olds who took this photo on the reserve earlier in the year).
Highlights from the monthly WeBS count undertaken on the 10th October included, 342x Barnacle Geese (Saltmarsh), 276x Mallard, 745x Teal, 4x Red-Breasted Merganser (Saltings Hide), 6x Grey Heron, 12x Little Egret, 84x Lapwing, 1x Ringed Plover (Marian Mawr Hide), 4x Dunlin (Ynys Feurig Hide), 1x Little Stint (Ynys Feurig Hide), 7x Redshank (Ynys Feurig Hide), 1x Common Sandpiper (Domen Las Hide), 208x Oystercatcher and 2x Snipe (Wetland Trail Boardwalk).
This Canada Goose sighted from the Saltings Hide during the week was ringed at Windermere in the Lakes District back in 2013.
Other interesting sightings this week included, 1x Great Crested Grebe (Breakwater Hide, 9th), 1x Peregrine Falcon (Saltmarsh, regular), 1x Merlin (Penrhyngerwin, 8th), Kestrel (Visitor Centre and Wetland Trail, daily), 4x Grey Plover (Breakwater Hide, 8th), 2x Green Sandpiper (Saltings Hide, 6th), 1x 1st winter Mediterranean Gull (Breakwater Hide, 7th), Rock Pipit (Saltings, daily) and 1x Blackcap (Visitor Centre Pools, 8th).
The Robin's delightful song can currently be heard from most of the treed areas on the reserve (Many Thanks to Liam Olds for the photo).
Flowering ivy and the plethora of insects it attracted was a real highlight on the reserve for me this week. One particular ivy covered tree next to the picnic benches in the carpark was a hive of activity with a quick glance on the 3rd October producing 9x Red Admiral, 2x Comma butterflies as well as a plentiful supply of wasps and other flies.
Flowering Ivy was a big hit with the reserve's insects this week.
Last weeks star bird, the Great White Egret, remained on the saltmarsh, showing intermittently throughout the week. This week's bird highlight was probably a ringtail Hen Harrier, possibly our first wintering bird of the season, observed quartering over the grassland in front of the Ynys Feurig Hide and then the saltmarsh (2nd).
The Great White Egret lengthened its stay on the reserve for another week (Many Thanks to Rhys Thatcher for the photograph).
Woodland birds took advantage of ripened seeds dropping from the trees with a flock of Chaffinch regularly seen feeding on beech mast along the entrance road and Jays collecting acorns from the many oak trees on the reserve. There seems to be a good number of Jays around at present with flocks of 10+ birds seen most days however, a large party of 54, which flew over the Visitor Centre on the 30th, has to be close to a reserve record.
Other interesting sightings this week included, 41x Greylag Geese (Breakwater Hide, 27th), 3x Red Kite (Wetland Trail, regular), Peregrine Falcon (female, Breakwater Hide, 27th), 1x Water Rail (Marian Mawr Hide, 27th), 2x Green Sandpiper (Marian Mawr Hide, 28th), Chiffchaff (still present in mixed flocks) and 1x Fox (Marian Mawr Hide, 28th).
The late blooms of Red Campion can still be seen on the woodland trails.
Finally, two Brent Geese, including a bird that is possibly of the North American race, have recently been reported on the estuary near Ynyslas. There is a chance that they may hang out with the many geese on the reserve, so careful scanning of goose flocks on the saltmarsh may reward you with a sighting of Brent Geese, scarce visitors to this part of the world.

Questions on Milk Kefir Grains
- From Miha at 11/7/2011 8:36 PM
- From Rachel at 11/3/2011 4:00 PM
- I have had my kefir for about a week now. When I first got it I put it in goat's milk and changed it out daily for about 5 days. The grains doubled in size and so on the 6th day I rinsed with spring water and put them in coconut milk. I don't like the taste of goat milk and cow milk breaks me out. My question is regarding cow milk kefir and acne. If I break out from cow milk, will I also break out from cow milk kefir?
- We recommend checking with your health care practitioner, as we are not medical professionals and cannot speculate on health issues.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From shannon at 10/28/2011 7:04 PM
- Is kefir fermented from bacteria and yeast or just bacteria? Thank you.
- Kefir is a combination of bacteria and yeast. You can find a full listing of the strains that are involved here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/milk-kefir-grains-composition-bacteria-yeast
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From TS at 10/23/2011 1:56 AM
- How much fresh coconut milk will the grains in the pack make?
And, does it have to be in glass jars, or could it be made in a Harsch fermentation crock?
- The packages of milk kefir grains that we sell contain sufficient grains to culture about a quart of liquid after rehydration - either milk or an alternative. Glass jars are perfect for making kefir. A fermentation crock is fine, if you don't put the lid on. Kefir needs some air circulation for fermentation to work properly.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- How much fresh coconut milk will the grains in the pack make?
- From Kathleen at 10/12/2011 3:26 PM
- I am in process of eating to bring healing to my gut. I follow a yeast, dairy, gluten, corn free diet. I have never made kefir before. I buy coconut milk and would like to make kefir. Which of your starter grains do I buy?
- There are 2 options with coconut milk kefir:
1. You could use milk kefir grains and put them directly into the coconut milk once they have been sufficiently re-hydrated in dairy milk. However, you will have to put them back into dairy milk every other batch or so to keep them alive and thriving.
2. You can make water kefir using the water kefir grains and then use 1/4 c. of your finished water kefir to inoculate 1 quart of coconut milk. This requires that you make water kefir, but you do not have to deal with dairy at all.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Heather at 10/7/2011 10:31 PM
- Your site is great. Just wondering about the health benefit difference between milk kefir and water kefir grains (not including the base material nutrients).
Also, what would you recommend for cultured vegetables?
- While we can't make any specific health claims or recommendations for our products, there is a huge body of research on the Internet discussing the relative merits of both types of kefir. They have similar bacteria and yeast profiles, and you can see the list of what is in each culture in these articles:

- From Hector at 9/23/2011 6:37 AM
- Hi,
The types and quantity of bacteria, do they increase if you allow the milk kefir to brew longer than 24 hours? I am refering to the strains of bacteria.
- The number of bacteria and yeast organisms will increase as culturing continues. The types of bacteria and yeasts will remain stable.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- Hi,
- From Iryna at 9/20/2011 10:43 AM
- Hi! I was wondering if I wanted to take a break from making kefir for a week or so, where do I store the kefir grains while they are resting? Do I leave them on the counter or put them in the fridge?
- To take a break from making milk kefir, simply place the kefir grains in fresh milk, place a tight lid on the container and place it in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. See here for more information: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-take-a-break-from-making-kefir
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Lili at 9/17/2011 6:21 PM
- I am making my kefir using fat-free cow milk for over a week. It still doesn't look and taste right. It looks like soft tofu, and when I touch it with a wood spoon, it was all smashed. It is not the same as the kefir I bought from the supermarket at all. What is wrong with that?
- The kefir you make at home may or may not be exactly like the kefir you buy at the store. Quite a lot will depend on the type of milk you use. Commercial kefir also sometimes has additives and thickeners than can change the consistency. The length of time you culture it, and the temperature, can also affect the final result. If you would like some help troubleshooting your kefir, please email email@example.com.

- From Erin at 9/15/2011 10:53 AM
- I purchased a packet of milk kefir grains from the local co-op and noticed after I had started rehydrating the grains with raw goat milk that the allergen information on the package says that the grains were processed in a facility that handles products containing soy and wheat. I'm wondering what those products are and whether you've ever known customers to have reactions due to cross-contamination? I know that's pretty unlikely but I was just very surprised to see that and curious as I deal with substantial food allergies.
- We are required by law to make that statement on our products, since we use a commercial kitchen that may also be used to process soy and wheat products. However, our equipment is dedicated (used only for our products), and we don't produce any soy or wheat cultures ourselves. We are meticulous about cleanliness. The type of exposure to these allergens would be about the same as if you shopped in a supermarket that also sold wheat and soy products.

- Less tart Review by Carrie
Value Quality Price
This kefir is less tart than they grains I had used for 8 years. I had trouble getting them going at first but persisted, with help from CFH and it works now. I don't see the gelatinous cottage cheese like grains with this kefir, the grains are more blended in with the kefir so I'm not sure how much they will multiply. Overall, good stuff!

I am so glad that I purchased the Milk Kefir Grains. I have Kefir in my home every single day so I never have to buy it from the store. I never knew there were so many ways to use Kefir. This is well worth the money...and the health benefits! So happy am I!

- Very Good Product Review by Louise
Value Quality Price
We have always had two goats for our own milk products - When I heard
about Kefir - I thought it sounded like a good idea - certainly worth trying.
We ordered the grains from you and we were very happy with how quickly
they worked and how super easy it is! We live on a farm and have lots
of fresh fruit in season and with the extra we can or freeze. We like to
whiz the fruit in our Vita Mix and put the Kefir in - oh boy, that is gooood.
We just can't seem to get enough of it! We haven't even been making cheese because we like the kefir better.

- It couldn't be easier! Review by Stu
Value Quality Price
I've always enjoyed kefir, and after a recent colonoscopy (nuff said)you really are starting with a clean slate, so to speak. I wanted to populate my system with probiotics, but didn't want to pay $4 a qt. The small investment in kefir grains has rewarded us with an endless supply of kefir. It took a bit to get them started, but a few minutes on the chat line produced great kefir the very next batch. I have a small Styrofoam cooler, similar to an Omaha Steak style cooler, very dense, which I retrieved from the recycling depot. A quart of water inside the cooler provides enough heat to incubate a batch in about 12hrs. The grains have multiplied in numbers( not size) to where I can share some soon. Thanks for providing such a reliable product.

- Great quality Review by Zacky
Value Quality Price
I already had kefir grain from Cultures For Health. This order was to give as a gift to my mother who lives in France. Since the grains had to travel by plane, I preferred ordering a proper commercial sealed packaging and an invoice rather than sending her home with some of my fresh ones. Her grains activated perfectly. She couldn't be happier.
The only thing that could have been better is he shipping cost (to Canada). It is double of what the kefir grains cost, making basically that teaspoon of grains a whopping 49$. This size a package,from the US, could certainly cost much less. I have to say though, silver lining, that the shipping is very fast.
I would still order from Cultures for Health (I need to add the Viili to my cultures) for it's difficult to beat that quality and variety of cultures, not to mention the great customer service.
Note from CFH: Due to the perishable nature of our products, shipping options to Canada are limited at this time, to protect the viability of the cultures.

- Inconsistent quality Review by Cathy
Value Quality Price
This is the second batch of kefir grains purchased from CfH. The grains make super kefir that we enjoy drinking every day. The packet of grains that was most recently purchased contained about 5x more grains than the packet from our first purchase about a year ago. In rehydrating the grains, we had good kefir in 2 days. The packet purchased a year ago took close to 2 weeks of the rehydration process before getting good kefir. Don't understand such inconsistent quality.
Response from CFH: Please contact customer support with any culturing concerns. Live cultures can respond quite differently depending on ingredients, temperature, and culturing environment.

After 8 days I'm getting 2 cups of kefir. The taste is great without anything in it. I used Chat several times with questions during my re-hydrating process and they gave me just the information I needed.
Also, in our 62-64 degree home, they gave me the great tip to place kefir on something like a DVR. We don't have a DVR, but we do have a battery (UPS)for our computer. I put kefir jar in a milk carton, secured to the wall to protect the electronics from a possible spill.

It took a while to find the right milk, but now I have and all is going well and it's a very good product. My low mark regarding price is that I find 30$ shipping a little bit steep for shipping in Canada. There is one distributor here of your product, they only carry water kefir so I'm not taking business away from them.

- Satisfied the Second Time Around Review by Doris
Value Quality Price
This is my second try at this kefir product. The first time it did not work within 24 hrs, no matter what I did. It took like 45 hrs. Anyway, my husband built an incubator with a constant temp. of 80 degrees, using an enclosure and light bulb arrangement. I did get new granules and used whole milk and it started working within 24 hrs. Now, after about 8 - 9 times of making the kefir, I no longer have to incubate it, but can just leave it sit on the counter and it still works within 24 hrs. What I have noticed is that the granules are somewhat larger and I really think the first time around that I just did not get enough granules to make it work at room temp.

I have spent some considerable time reading about Kefir and how to make it. There is a knack to it and now that I am started, it is just a matter of routine. I think that the number of grains could be less stingy but I am gradually building up my "stock". The price is a little steep but in all fairness, the free Ebooks are an added bonus if they work. Not been able to get on yet.

I've had my first packet of grains going for about two weeks and they are growing fast and producing tasty kefir daily from whole pasteurized milk. I think they compare very well with 'live' or 'fresh' grains. Very satisfied.
Note from CFH: Our grains are alive, but dehydrated at low temperature and packaged in organic powdered milk to keep them healthy and fed. We dehydrate to keep the grains free from contaminants, and safe and stable for shipping.

- Loving it! Review by NavyWifeArmyMom
Value Quality Price
I've been using Cultures for Health yogurt starter for a couple of years & wNted to try keifer. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, so I bought a bottle of strawberry keifer at the grocery store - I was hooked! Ordered my keifer grains and went to work! I had to experiment with milk fat levels, decided pure skim milk was not the best choice. Tried half skim/half whole milk - still not the best. Finally decided to go with whole milk, & haven't looked back! Have been experimenting with different flavors also. So far my very favorite is Pumpkin Spice Keifer (generous amount of pure pumpkin), dash or two of pumpkin pie spice, a splash of maple syrup &/or caramel sauce for depth of flavor, and a splash of organic evaporated cane juice to taste - DELICIOUS!! I've also made Green Tea Keifer using matcha powder & honey for sweetener, as well as various fruits made in the blender as keifer smoothies. Next up: Caramel Apple Keifer using unsweetened applesauce, a dollop of caramel sauce, and a dash of two of apple pie spice!!
Totally pleased with everything I've purchased from this company - excellent quality and wonderful customer service!!

- Reliable grains, Good value Review by Daniel
Value Quality Price
The milk kefir grains I received from cultures for health have been extremely reliable and multiply quite quickly. They are definitely a good value because of the high price of store bought kefir. The only issue I have with them is that the kefir I get from them is "curdy". No matter what I do it never has the thick smooth texture of store bought kefir. It always comes out with very small curds throughout the thin kefir. Some of the best vegetable ferments I have made have been from extra kefir grains or kefir whey.
CFH Note~ The most common cause of a "grainy" texture (tiny curds in the kefir) is an imbalance in the ratio of kefir grains to milk. Removing some of the grains or increasing the volume of milk usually resolves the issue. Please contact Customer Support if you are having any problems, we are very happy to help.

- Turned out pretty darn good Review by Sarah C
Value Quality Price
I wasn't sure about these grains when I started using them; I feel like it took several batches of milk for the grains to re-hydrate, but now I get delicious kefir. There is an article on this site about choosing the right milk for culturing, which was pretty helpful. I've decided that although I love to drink non-homogenized milk, I don't really like it cultured. The value of these grains is huge--a bottle of kefir is crazy expensive, and although good, organic milk is as well, it's not nearly as much as the finished product. I'm trying water kefir grains next.

They came back the next day to pack me and started talking about addl charges...I said absolutely not!!! The car company they contracted out with came to pick up my car...said they would deliver in 3 business days and would call 24hrs in advance. I called the company on 2nd business today to alert them I'd not heard from the shippers...was promised a call back no call back. [continued below]....
The car shipper then called me said they were trying to reach me for 2 days on old house number and called the company...spoke to the same people I spoke to and was told they would call them back...they also received no call back!! The shipper then told me someone needed to pay for his gas and it should be Air 1...they went back & forth for 2 days...meanwhile my car was being held hostage. I relented again and paid the $150 for gas...was told by the car shipper to dispute the amount on my AMEX because it was their fault.
Air 1 says we'll get your money from auto shipper because it's their fault. Well I'm still short $150. Whew...on to the next item. The driver calls...."I have your household goods...I'm at your gate...can't make turn in truck...we may need to transfer to smaller truck...and charge will be addl $800". REALLY, REALLY, ABSOLUTELY NOT....WILL NOT GIVE YOU A**HOLES ANOTHER DIME!!! Okay...we have another hostage situation!!! Not doing this time called 911...driver says I don't unload for police...don't really care if you call.
Police arrived...showed them agreement with balance and cashier's check for balance. Explained HOA said they always have trailers make deliveries. Driver says I don't want to try it (later found out why) not gonna try it...stalemate!!! Cop states this is unfair...but out of my hands this is a civil matter. Once again I relented...paid $800 on Amex figuring I can dispute. A**HOLES wanted me to sign doc stating would not dispute...absolutely not!! Finally they relented...no statement on receipt. They started to unload. Remember earlier when I stated I understood why he did not want to try to make the turn...well I found out two hours into the delivery.
The main driver had been indulging in some type of alcoholic beverage w/i 2 hours he became belligerent. The other guys were doing the work and he stayed in the cab. He kept coming into the house at times he was nice and at times he was very nasty. I suspected he suffered from some type of mental defect until I got a whiff of him...he reeked of liquor. Then one of the other guys walked by me...he too reeked of liquor!! In the process a 32 in Sony TV got busted, several items were damaged and or lost!! In summary I would not recommend this moving company to my worst enemy!!

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A political dirty-tricks investigation of Gov. Chris Christie's inner circle broke wide open Wednesday with the release of emails and text messages that suggest one of his top aides engineered traffic jams in a New Jersey town last September to punish its mayor. An "outraged and deeply saddened" Christie responded by saying he was misled by his aide, and he denied involvement in the apparent act of political payback.

Nov 21, 2012Hitman Absolution is a fascinating case of an error of judgment costing a game its heart. For Absolution, that mistake was placing a focus on a story that didn't need to be told and nobody wanted to hear.
Dec 4, 2012While there are a few sequences that thrill the way a proper Hitman should, like stalking a dark cornfield or combing Chinatown without being dressed as a chef, these brief glimpses of 47's predatory roots are outnumbered three-to-one by kludgey segments more about duckwalking towards exits than they are about killing professionally. I would imagine that the goal of Hitman: Absolution was to take Agent 47's detailed, methodical gameplay and make it appeal to players more familiar with modern action/stealth hybrids, but all the devs have done is eviscerate their unique franchise with poorly-implemented mechanics and left him to die an awkward, humiliating death.

Nov 21, 2012Worst Hitman in the series (It's not really even Hitman) Classic case of 1 step forward and 2 steps back. As a fan i'd of liked for it to of been much more like Blood Money as that was near perfect, all that needed an upgrade was the AI. The A.I in Absolution has been upgraded but it's still far from perfect, and the big open world levels are gone.… Full Review »
Nov 20, 2012This is hitman. There are so many paths to assassinate your target and if you were to step back and look, you would see all the hard work that has gone into designing the levels. Hitman's only downside is the disguise system, police officers should not know everyone in the whole police force and because of this it gets a 9.5. I love hitman and if you decide to play this stealthily, you will find it quite a challenge and most games today lack challenges.… Full Review »
Nov 20, 2012Hitman is dead, Police suspect Blood Money isn't involved. Remember that beleoved Hitman series? Well it's been killed! This game is the worst Hitman in the series by a long way. They've taken all the Hitman out of Hitman. Well i'm off to play Hitman Blood Money....you know the proper Hitman game.… Full Review »

President Barack Obama signed legislation into law retaining the food uses for the fumigant sulfuryl fluoride.
On Friday, President Barack Obama signed legislation into law retaining the food uses for the fumigant sulfuryl fluoride. The measure is part of the much larger, 950-page plus Farm Bill Conference Report. The enactment of the sulfuryl fluoride provision caps offs a monumental legislative victory for the National Pest Management Association - one that would not have been possible without PCOs lobbying their federal lawmakers about the importance of retaining sulfuryl fluoride's food uses, according to NPMA's Gene Harrington.
The legislation effectively reverses a proposed order revoking or withdrawing sulfuryl fluoride's food tolerances that U.S. EPA put forward in January of 2011 under the threat of activist group litigation.The activists claimed that sulfuryl fluoride's tolerances were not permissible because the "risk cup" for sulfuryl fluoride was already filled with fluoride in drinking water and dental care products.
Below is the sulfuryl fluoride language and a statement explaining the provision that accompanied the bill.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall exclude nonpesticideal sources of fluoride from any aggregate exposure assessment required under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) when assessing tolerances associated with residues from the pesticide.
Study on Proposed Order Pertaining to Sulfuryl Flouride
The House bill authorizes a report to Congress regarding the potential economic and public health effects that would result from finalization of the proposed order pertaining to
sulfuryl fluoride. (Section 10016)
The Senate amendment has no comparable provision. The Conference substitute adopts the House provision with an amendment. The amendment directs the Administrator of the EPA to exclude nonpesticidal sources of fluoride from aggregate exposure assessments required under section 408 of the FFDCA when assessing tolerances associated with residues from the pesticide. (Section 10015)
A new study from Penn Medicine researchers in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics demonstrated that bed bugs, like the triatomines, can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
The program enables pest management professionals (PMPs) to evaluate ActiveGuard Mattress Liners in real world applications.

The country has detected its first domestic case of the painful mosquito-borne viral disease chikungunya in the southwest of the country, the state government of Chiapas said on Saturday.

G-Unit leader 50 Cent is proving his Street King energy shot is not just a movement but a lifestyle by releasing a new commercial featuring renowned Hollywood veteran Joan Rivers.
In the commercial, 50 is shown pushing SK at a gym before getting approached by Rivers.
50 Cent has a thing for the women of the E! network. After bedding the channel's reigning late night queen, Chelsea Handler, the G-Unit honcho has apparently moved on to Joan Rivers–for his new Street King energy drink commercial. Decked in her finest chinchilla, Rivers approaches the "Remain Calm" rapper slanging energy shots in the gym. Once she gets a "hit," the 78-year-old propositions her co-star proclaiming, "I got the energy for you 5-0!" Rivers quips are mildly entertaining, but the true star of the commercial is 50's spandex bodysuit. (Hip Hop Wired)
Reports of the duo teaming up for the commercial emerged in March.
50 Cent got into some funny business while shooting the humorous commercial for his Street King energy drink with comedienne Joan Rivers. The unlikely duo worked up a sweat and shared laughs at Planet Fitness in Harlem on Tuesday. "I tried to put together the odd team, not the A-team," the G-Unit mogul told "Access Hollywood." "It has a lot of different layers to it for something that has to happen in 30 seconds." The 78-year-old star hit the gym wearing "athletic-inspired diva wear" including a $75,000 chinchilla coat. "The premise of the commercial is I have no energy, I drink the drink, and I'm ready for fun," explained Rivers, who gave herself the nickname 34 Cent. (Rap-Up)
Gaining mainstream co-signs, Brooklyn rapper Fabolous recently offered his take on SK.
"I think it's dope, man. I salute anybody whose in a position to help other people out and take their time, take their luxury, their finance, their everything into putting a situation together that helps somebody else," Fab said in an interview. "I salute 50 with that. He briefly spoke to me about it while we were heading to Australia and I think it's only right to give back to someone else." (This Is 50)
Last year, the G-Unit frontman expressed the goal of his Street King movement.
"I feel like away from the actual energy drink itself that the business model for Street King is the solution for a lot of the actual issues that are going on right now," 50 said in an interview. "When you look at Occupy Wall Street and the protestors there, it's them feeling like major corporations don't care about working class people. It's concious capitalism, it's creating a business model that's already giving back — When Jay-Z's e-mailing me and Swizz Beatz is giving me a call, it tells me that my peers are actually watching. Just imagine if Google's under this model. It's only ten years old. That'd solve a huge portion of problems as far as world hunger's concern." (CNN International)
