FARM PICKUP ONLY! Per Illinois law, raw milk must be sold at the farm where it is produced.
We do not offer a herd share or regularly scheduled pickups. Milk must be ordered through our website ordering process.
General Information:
Looking for raw "pet" milk? Our registered Guernsey cows are A2-A2 tested. They spend 100% of their time on pasture. We have a few cows that are 100% grass-fed, with no grain. We also have a few cows that receive a small amount (less than 5 lbs per day at milking only) of a dairy ration that contains grain. Grain is only given to maintain proper body condition of the cows.
If you are wondering about the benefits of raw milk, we highly suggest reading more at realmilk.com.
WARNING FROM Illinois Dept. Public Health: Raw milk has not been pasteurized and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, persons with weakened immune systems, and women who are pregnant.
