Milk is available in easy-pour 1/2 gallon glass jars or round
gallon jars. Many consumers consider glass a preferrable storage
for raw milk because it protects the flavor of the milk as well
as eliminating any risk of leaching chemicals found in plastic.
Reusable jars also contribute to making the co-op sustainable.
Raw milk sells retail nationwide from $8-14 per gallon. Through
this co-op, it is available to you at the low end of that
range. Imagine eliminating frequent trips to the store
for staple foods like milk and eggs, and also saving your
valuable time and gas money!
All our raw milk products (cow and goat) are unprocessed,
unpasteurized, and non-homogenized, as well as free from hormones
and antibiotics. All our dairy animals are fed high quality
grass and hay, and given little or no grain. To learn more
about the nutrition and health concerns of raw milk, click
here to visit our Raw Milk Information Page.
For each product offered, we have created standards to promote
high quality nutrition and natural or organic practices whenever
possible. These standards include practices of equipment santiation,
animal feed quality, collection procedures, and responsible
animal husbandry. Our producers comply with state requirements
and milk quality testing, and that information is made available
to members of the co-op.
If you are a producer with a new product to offer, please
also let us know what you have
to offer!

Cow's Milk:
Raw Milk is alive with fully active enzymes,
a broad spectrum of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria,
essential amino acids, good fatty acids, metabolically
available vitamins, immunoglobulins, minerals, antioxidants,
and CLA. The milk is never damaged or changed by pasteurization,
homogenization, or other processing.
PRICE: $4.25 per half gallon (easy-pour)
$8.00 per gallon (round jar)
If purchased in plastic jug:
---- $8.50 per gallon
---- $4.75 per half gallon
Also if you purchase more than two gallons, each
additional gallon purchased is 30% off.
The fat content of milk varies from animal to animal,
and from day to day as well as season to season, therefore
products distributed by the co-op do not bear a milkfat
designation such as 1% or 2%. Raw milk is offered
in two simple varieties: whole and hand-skimmed. Skimmed
milk is not fat-free but is comparable to 1% milk.
Raw dairy products have an average shelf life of about
10 days. Click here to visit our

Milk Yogurt:
This yogurt contains the vitamins and minerals found
in raw cow's milk (not destroyed by pasteurization)
and is rich in live probiotics. It's ready to enjoy
plain or mix with your favorite sweetener (pure maple
syrup, agave nectar, or fruit jam). Available for purchase
in glass pint or quart jars.
PRICE: $4.50 per pint

Raw Goat's Milk:
Raw goat's milk has a different, more easily-digested
protein structure than raw cow's milk, and may be more
easily tolerated by those who have an immune response
to cow's milk. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, electrolytes,
trace elements, enzymes, protein, and fatty acids that
are utilized by your body with ease.
PRICE: $6.00 per half gallon (easy-pour)
$10.00
per gallon (round jar)

Farm Fresh Eggs:
We solicit producers whose flocks live as a chicken
should live, with room to roam and a place to scratch.
Our layers are fed grains and are able to graze when
weather permits. Eggs come in a variety of browns as
well as leghorn white. Cartons are recycled and reused
to reduce waste.
PRICE: $3.50 per dozen* |

Farm Fresh Chicken:
These delicious meat chickens (Cornish cross) were raised
in the Sand Hollow area, given access to pasture and grains,
and given no drug or hormone treatments of any kind. They
have been processed locally (in Fruitland) and frozen fresh.
A disclosure from the producer on husbandry practices is available
here.
PRICE: $4.25 per lb., avg. weight 7 lbs
per bird
Grassfed Beef:
As we plan to buy from various producers as needed the packaging
may vary, but this first supply of meat is pre-labeled and
comes vacuum packed. The beef comes from a Middleton farmer,
and is grass fed and grass finished, meaning it is never fed
any grain and the animals are not given growth hormones or
antibiotics. More details about the producer can be found
here.
