So, what is a herd share?
As a member, you own a part of the milking herd, called a herd share. You get milk every week, like a milk subscription from your very own cow! (But you don't have to wake up at 5:00 AM to milk the cows twice a day. Win-win).
What does it cost?
Members pay a one-time fee to own the share and a weekly amount per share for us to care for your cows and pour up the milk for you!
Herd Share
It’s a one-time cost of $15 to purchase ownership of one half share. You can purchase as many half shares as your family desires. If you end the membership, we buy back the herd share(s) from you.
Ownership of one half share provides you with one half gallon of Raw Milk per week.
Milk is delivered (picked up) consistently every week, same amount as your share size, all year round.
Members must provide their own jars weekly.
Helpful Tips
Raw Milk Yogurt
- warm milk to 90-105F, no higher for raw yogurt
Tips for making butter
- Have your cream at room temp, it will turn faster.
- Wash your butter with cool water until the water is clear
- Unless you culture the buttermilk, it's not the same as what you buy.
FAQ
How long will it last? Raw milk is sweet and fresh at least 7 - 10 days and usually 14 days. Unlike its pasteurized counterpart, milk that is raw doesn't "go bad" or rancid. It ages and sours! It's wonderful in baking and in place of buttermilk when it starts to sour.
What happens if I am gone? You can ask a friend to pick it up and enjoy it, or you may send us an email at least 4 days before, and we’ll skip your pick up/delivery.
Do you use antibiotics or other medications? Antibiotics have very rare use on our farm, and are only used to save an animal if other natural treatments haven’t worked. If a milk cow is treated with antibiotics, her milk is kept separate from the herd share milk and discarded for the appropriate amount of time.
What do your cows eat? Our Jersey cows live outdoors on pasture 365 days a year, enjoying a daily fresh serving of grass during the growing season and stored grass (hay) during the winter. Our nutritionally balanced feed ration is locally sourced Grass is at the center of everything we do, giving our milk its unique flavor and excellent nutrition.
