Meet our NEW Milking Mommas here!Raw milk is great for making cheese, yogurt, or to drink as is! Raw milk is usually easier to digest than processed milk, making it easy on your tummy!All cows are pasture raised, well loved, often cuddled, and grass-fed*. We only use grain during extreme circumstances such as drought. Our milk is unpasteurized and non-homogenized. Meaning there are no additives or detractions in our milk. Our milk is going straight from the cow to you.- NO GMOS- NO ADDITIVES- NO HORMONES- NO ANTIBIOTICSTo date we are in the process of becoming Grade A certified with the USDA and our using practices concurrent with Grade A practices. However, Raw milk can only be purchased as a "share" until then. What does this mean as the consumer? By purchasing your weekly milk you are purchasing a small share of the cows care, feed, housing, etc and are being paid for your share with the Raw milk. Our current share is $6=½Gallon. *Cows are also given treats during their milkings. Treats can consist of bananas, apples, chocolate and unbaked lactation cookies. Chocolate can be used to increase the butterfat in milk and is also a treat that cows often look forward to. We firmly believe that happy cows produce the best tasting milk! Moo Neighs lactation cookie recipe: -84oz old fashion uncooked oats -24 bananas -48oz chocolate chips -40oz peanut butter Combine until well mixed.
