What is Raw Milk?
Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. It comes directly from the cow and contains all the natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria that are often lost during processing. This milk is a wholesome choice, packed with nutrients that can contribute to better health.
What is A2A2 Milk?
A2A2 milk comes from cows that produce only the A2 beta-casein protein, which can be easier on digestion for many people. This milk has been shown to reduce discomfort for those who are lactose intolerant, making it a great option for everyone to enjoy without worry!
Who Can Drink Raw Milk?
The beauty of our raw A2A2 cow milk is that it is suitable for all! Even those of us who are lactose intolerant can enjoy it without any issues. It’s a fantastic dairy choice that widens the options available to those with digestive sensitivities. 🎉
Taste Comparison with Conventional Milk
You might wonder how raw milk tastes compared to regular conventional milk. Conventional milk often comes from a mix of different cows and undergoes homogenization, which alters its natural flavor and texture. In contrast, our raw milk has a unique taste that can vary depending on the time of day and the season, providing a fresh and delightful experience with every sip! 🍃
Quality You Can Trust
We take the quality of our milk seriously. Our milk is triple-filtered and rigorously tested before milking to ensure that no pathogens are introduced. This means that you receive only the healthiest and purest milk, straight from our happy cows to your table. 🌟
Benefits of Raw Milk
Let’s explore some of the amazing benefits that raw milk has to offer:
Nutrient-Rich: It is full of essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics that support a healthy gut.
Easier Digestion: Many people find raw milk easier to digest than conventional milk because it retains its natural enzymes.
Boosts Immunity: The beneficial bacteria found in raw milk can help strengthen your immune system and improve your overall health.
Supports Local Farms: By choosing our raw milk, you also support local dairy farms and sustainable practices.
What is a herdshare?
A herdshare is an agreement between you and your farmer. You buy a share in the herd and pay the farmer for services. If you wish to consume raw milk and/or dairy products, you must first buy a share of the farmer's herd and sign a contract. Once you have bought into the herd, you can now legally obtain raw milk and dairy products from your farmer. Everytime you want to collect your allotment (1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, etc) you will reimburse the farmer for boarding, feeding, and milking, bottling, and caring for your part of the herd.
Could we meet elsewhere besides the pickup location?
Due to the demand we have received we are asking that everyone try their best to be at the designated pick up location between the time frame discussed. We have multiple locations for pickup throughout the valley and if you missed the time at one location, and contacted Amber or Michael beforehand, you may be elgible to meet them at another pickup location or schedule a seperate time.
What do your animals eat?
Our cows and poultry are free range, they are never confined to small areas or enclosures. They consume a diet of fresh grass, hay, occasional grain at milking, and the poultry eat bugs. The bees pollinate and collect nectar within a 2 mile radius in Los Fresnos, Tx.
What if we want to skip a month in our HerdShare?
You are welcome to skip a month in your Herdshare but we must receive advance notice. There are no refunds for milk not picked up or meetings missed if advance notice was not received.
