How it works
A herd share is a program where you buy into and become a partial owner of the dairy herd and are entitled to a portion of the dairy products produced. The farm does the daily work, management and boarding of the cows and you are entitled to pick up a share of the milk or cheese they produce. You can buy a half share or as many shares as your family requires.
We bottle our milk in half gallon glass jars. For simplicity, a 1/2 share weekly is one 1/2 gallon jar of milk each week, a full share weekly is two 1/2 gallon jars each week (1 gallon). You may buy as many shares as your family requires.
You select which pick up day will be convenient for you. Then, each week, on your day, you come out and collect your share of the milk from our farm. If you prefer drop off that can also be arranged.
We offer several convent ways to pay for your share. You can pay through Venmo, Paypal, or cash.
Please contact us if you have any questions.

a2/a2 Raw milk
Milk is an amazing superfood. It is a great source of protein, energy (from lactose), calcium, magnesium, phosphate, B vitamins iodine, and healthy fats, as well as all amino acids. The protein in milk is made up of Whey (1-2%) and Casein (6-8%).
Originally, the beta casein in cow’s milk was the same as the primary protein in human milk: A2 /A2 beta casein. A2/A2 beta casein protein is most recognizable to the human body and is easily absorbed. However, over time, there was a genetic mutation in cows and an A1 beta casein variation resulted in cows with two types of proteins – A1 and A2. The A1 beta casein can be difficult for humans to digest and is linked to many health issues. Thankfully, many have gone back to the original roots and searched out these amazing A2/A2 cows that are now extinct from most mass production dairies. We are proud to call our herd 100% a2/a2.
