So, what is a herd share?
As a member, you will own an undivided interest of our milking herd, called a herd share.
Members pay a one-time $15 fee plus weekly herd boarding fee for each 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 picked up consistently every week, same amount as your share size, all year round.
Members must provide their own jars weekly.

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.
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 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.
