Got Milk?

The only way to get raw milk in Virginia is through your own cow.  A dairy share gives you the opportunity to become a part owner in our herd of Jersey cows.  You pay a one-time fee towards the purchase of a cow, and a monthly boarding fee for its care, and in exchange you get 1/2 gallon of fresh, local, raw milk a week.  

There are 3 parts to the cost:  your initial buy in (one-time fee), your boarding fee (monthly, recurring), and your deposit for your 2 qt jar(s) (one-time fee).

Shares are $50 each for the initial buy-in, $25/month for boarding fees, plus a  one-time $5 glass jar deposit.  Each share you purchase gets you 1/2 gallon of fresh, local raw milk a week.  (If you need a gallon/week, buy 2 shares.)

For example, Leah would like 1/2 gallon of milk per week.  Her initial cost, due before her first pick up is 

$50 (one-time buy-in) + $25 (recurring monthly boarding fee) + $5 (one-time glass jar deposit) = $80

Leah's recurring monthly cost is just the recurring $25 boarding fee and she receives a 1/2 gallon of fresh, local, raw, A2A2 milk a week.

If you're not a milk drinker, we also offer dairy swaps!

Trade your weekly share for butter, cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, or chocolate milk for no additional cost!  

Or buy TWO shares - one for milk and one for dairy swaps!
