How Our Herd Share Works

Welcome to our herd share program! Think of a herd share like a gym membership: you pay a one-time membership fee to purchase a share in our dairy cow herd, and you are then entitled to the weekly benefits of that membership. In this case, your benefit is fresh, high-quality milk from your very own cows, delivered by us each week!

Fresh Milk, Conveniently Packaged

  • Our Bottles: We package your milk in convenient plastic half-gallon jugs made from high-quality, non-leaching HDPE plastic.

  • Eco-Friendly: When you’re done, our plastic jugs can easily be recycled at your local collection center right along with your other household plastics.
