WHY RAW MILK?
Raw milk is a living food full of essential nutrients, enzymes, and probiotics. We raise Saanen, Nubian, and Alpine goats which are known for their sweet and creamy milk. For more info on the health benefits of raw milk go to www.realmilk.com Did you know all goat milk is A2.
WHAT IS A DAIRY HERD SHARE PROGRAM?
Colorado state law prohibits the retail sale of unpasteurized milk, but one can legally obtain raw milk by owning a share in a dairy animal or herd. Herd sharing is a system that provides access to farm fresh milk for people who cannot care for an animal themselves. Purchasing a share in the herd entitles you to a percentage of what the herd produces.
HOW IT WORKS:
There is a one time purchase of $50 to buy a share in the herd, due upon completion of boarding contract. Then we will send you an invoice the first of each month for our monthly boarding & service fee. This fee goes toward the feed, maintenance, veterinary care and the milking of the herd. We have a limited number of shares starting summer 2024.
Full share (1 gallon of milk each week): $20 weekly service fee
1/2 share (1/2 gallon of milk each week): $10 weekly service fee
1/4 share (1 quart of milk each week): $6 weekly service fee
We will bottle your milk in glass jars and store in our Dairy Cooler for you to pick-up from our location. You must show up on your Milking Day chosen in the agreement. There is a one time $8 glass jar fee, and we ask that you bring back your empty, rinsed-out jars each week.
CHEESE AND OTHER DAIRY PRODUCTS:
Different types of cheese, Kefir, yogurt, etc is available to purchase for share holders and is made weekly and stored in our Dairy Cooler at our Self Serve market building on the farm.
