How does a Herd Share work?

• At the onset, the Shareholder signs our herd share agreement and pays a one-time, refundable $30 for one Herd-Share purchase. One full share will provide the Shareholder with 1 gallon of raw milk on a weekly basis. (1/2 shares are available which would give the shareholder 1 gallon of milk every other week)

• We do all the hard work – milking, grazing, doctoring, etc. for a boarding fee of just $40.00 a month. 1/2 share members would pay $20.00 a month. It’s that simple. (There is a $3 per week delivery fee for milk that is delivered to one of our pickup locations.)

Our pick up locations for Herd Share milk pick up include:

TOF farm store in Long Island, VA (no delivery fee)

Poplar Forest Nursery in Forest, VA

Marsh Roots Seafood in Lynchburg, VA

XTP Fitness in Appomattox, VA

Arrington Insurance Group in Rustburg, VA

• Once your herd share agreement is signed and your purchase into the herd share is made, you will be charged $40.00 on the first of each month plus delivery if applicable. 
• You can cancel at anytime and your $30 purchase into the share will be refunded.

You cannot buy or sell raw milk (unprocessed) in the state of Virginia, it is illegal. But if you own the cow, it is not illegal to drink the fresh raw milk that comes from it! By purchasing a share of the herd, you are actually receiving milk from your own cows. We will perform a service for you by caring for, feeding, giving water, and milking your cow. You can buy as many shares as available, and use your milk in any way you find worthwhile, which is called HERD SHARING.

Benefits of Raw Milk

REAL SUPERFOOD

• Raw milk contains a greater number of digestible nutrients than pasteurized milk, as well as a wide range of probiotics and beneficial enzymes that are known to have benefits to the gastrointestinal tract and immune system.

SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS

• Increased resistance to respiratory infections, asthma, allergies, eczema, and otitis, and eczema has been correlated to raw milk consumption.

SUPERIOR FLAVOR

• It's full of fresh flavor! The creamy texture will make it difficult to go back to drinking the pasteurized stuff that is in stores. Like everything else that is fresh vs processed, Raw Milk will always taste better.
