A2A2 Milk is genetically superior milk. Most milk has the more prevalent A1 protein and so have the BCM7 peptide (a mutation) that has been linked to contributing to autoimmune conditions, autism, heart disease, & more. Check out www.A2A2 milk.com for more details and learn why we only milk cows that produce A2A2 milk. 

Milk is contained in glass jars that are labeled with your name.

Cost of Containers:

– 1 quart glass jars: $ 2.75(includes jar and easy clean lid)

– ½ gallon glass jar : $6.00(includes jar and easy clean lid)

One extra set of jars is necessary, Example 1: 1 share: 2 half gallon jars: $12.00

Example 2: 2 gallon share: 8 half gallon jars: $48.00 Total: $48.00. Not this is a one-time fee unless a replacement is needed ($1/lid and $5/jar).

Note that the farm supplies a 3rd set to most off-farm drop sites in order to make sure you have enough jars (one set at the farm, one set at home, & one set waiting at the drop location).

If you are not able to return your jars by the time milk is dropped off, your milk will be sent in plastic half gallon jugs at the rate of $1/half gallon jug or $2/gallon jug as needed.

It is the herd share member’s responsibility to return clean jars to their weekly pickup point. For cleaning, we recommend handwashing first and then running the jars & lids through the dishwasher.

It is very important then to let the jars air-dry. Once air-dried, seal the jar with your lid. Your jar will then be opened when we fill it with milk for you next pickup. If jars are not air-dried, they often develop a mildew smell. Do not put paper towels in the jar as the moisture will still be trapped in the jar.

Raw milk should last 7-10 days or longer, provided there is adequate refrigeration. It essential to make sure the temperature of the milk is maintained at 35 degrees.

If milk is not staying fresh, make sure the following are being practiced.

Fridge temp should be at a steady 35 degrees(keep milk off of the door)
Use a cooler when transporting milk after picking up your share, and be sure there is adequate ice to maintain a temperature of 35 degrees.
Do not let milk sit out for long periods of time.
If you are following these precautions your milk should maintain a sweet and fresh taste.

Raw milk is very different from pasteurized milk. There are a few times throughout the year, due to the pasture and hay (in winter) and the affect that the seasons have on it, the milk will have different tastes. This does not mean in any way that the milk is bad. We encourage you to try turning it into a different use. Check out our Recipe page for some ideas.

Milk is supplied weekly at both the farm and drop off locations throughout the area.

There is an additional $10.00 monthly fee for milk to be delivered to a regular off-farm drop site. If your home is within our home delivery area (see below), contact us for our home delivery rate. Current drop-off locations are shown below
