In Tennessee, it is illegal to purchase raw milk for human consumption directly from a farm or store. However, there is now a law that allows the sale of raw milk by herd share. You may be wondering what on earth is a herd share?
It's pretty simple. A herd share is a membership. It allows you to get raw milk from "your own cows" by making you a partial owner of our herd of cows. Yep, it's a membership to a cow. Pretty ingenious, right?
The great part about having a "membership" to a cow rather than owning one, is you simply have to pay a "boarding fee" for us, the farmers, to take care of the cows. The "boarding fee" is what your milk actually costs to produce per week. We are merely delivering your share of the herd’s milk to you.
