Raw Milk Herdshare
Join the #rawmilkrevolution
In the state of Kentucky, it is illegal to buy or sell raw milk. It is not illegal, however, to drink raw milk from a cow, goat, or any animals that you own. Herd-share program allows individuals to buy into a share of the herds of animals available on the farm, pay a monthly fee to the farmer to provide feed and labor in caring for the herd, and in return, the individual gets to drink the creamy, sweet and smooth milk provided from their share of ownership in the herd.
​
Our herdshare is currently full. Join our waiting list below to be notified when spots open at your preferred pick-up location(s).

How does it work?
1
Purchase a share
Pick the size that works best for you and your family. Don't worry - you can change later if needed!
2
Sign a contract
Review and execute your herdshare agreement and pay your invoice. Once we receive the executed contract, you will receive a separate invoice to purchase your share and to pay for for your jar deposit.
3
Get your milk
Pick up your milk weekly at your designated location. On the following week, return a clean jar(s) and pick up your new ones.
​
Raise and repeat. That's it. Seriously.
-
What if I can't come to meet you this week or isn't available during the farm store hours?If you cannot pick up your milk, please let us know as soon as possible to re-schedule your pick up for other day/time at the store that week. We do understand that emergencies happen. Please contact us as soon as possible and we will do whatever we can so that you get to enjoy your milk every week!
-
What container will my milk come in?Your milk comes in a reusable half-gallon or quart-sized mason jar with a reusable plastic or metal lid. We require a non-refundable deposit of $10.00 for full share members and $5.00 for half and quarter share members. This deposit will be refunded upon return of the clean jar and lids when your contract ends.
-
Do you vaccinate, use growth hormones, or administer any antibiotics or preventative medications?Yes and no. We do not use routine or preventative vaccinations, and we never use growth hormones. Antibiotics are only administered when absolutely necessary to treat a sick animal, based on a diagnosis from our veterinarian. In all such cases, herdshare members are notified promptly and provided with full disclosure—including the type of antibiotic used, the veterinarian’s diagnosis, and the FDA-mandated withdrawal period (if any) before milk from that cow is returned to the herdshare. We also administer a pour-on ivermectin dewormer to our herd twice a year as part of responsible parasite management.
-
Where are you pick up locations?Milk can be picked up weekly anytime our farm store is open. We’re located at 4244 Hogg Ridge Rd, Williamstown, KY 41097. Our regular store hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 2 PM to 6 PM. However, we do offer seasonal extended hours, and currently, our summer hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM to 7 PM, running through Labor Day weekend. Please note that pickup times may occasionally shift due to holidays, weather, or other unexpected situations. If that happens, we’ll notify members promptly and arrange an alternate pickup time that works for you.
-
What do you mean by "when available" ?We are a small-scale family farm with a small, seasonal dairy herd - this means there will be time that we may not have any raw milk available due to calving or other seasonal changes. Since we do have more than one dairy cow, we try to make sure that you will receive your milk weekly; however, our biodynamic practice includes calf sharing and dry-off period for our cow prior to calving which occasionally reduce our milk availability. The herd share fee as shown is calculated with the possibility of lack of milk in mind. We also accept only small number of share owners to help ensure milk availability as much as possible year-round.
-
What if I move away or simply no longer want my share?Cancel easily with a 10 day notice prior to your next month billing.

How much does it cost?We offer two share sizes: Full Share and Half Share. A Full Share provides approximately one gallon of milk per week (when available), and a Half Share provides about a half gallon per week. There is a one-time buy-in fee of $60 for a Full Share or $38 for a Half Share. Monthly boarding and maintenance fees are $60 or $38, depending on your share size, and are due on the 1st of each month. At the time of sign-up, there is also a non-refundable $5-per-jar deposit. This totals $10 for a Full Share (2 jars) and $5 for a Half Share (1 jar).
