“HOW are you drinking RAW MILK?! 😱”
— says the same person who just skipped through Kroger, grabbed a celery stalk, rubbed it on their jeans, licked it for quality control, and snorted a line of cilantro straight from the produce bin.

Here’s the fun part:
they can carry the same potential bacteria.

The difference?
That milk came from a farmer who spent five solid minutes scrubbing those teats like Grandma scrubbing her baseboards before Thanksgiving dinner.
Hot water. Clean towels. Zero shortcuts.

Meanwhile, that celery?
Irrigation water of unknown origin.
Handled by dozens of people.
Packed in a facility you’ve never seen.
And definitely not wiped down like it was about to meet the family.

No panic over bagged lettuce.
No pearl-clutching over deli slicers.
But a clean jar of milk from a healthy cow?
Suddenly it’s a public health symposium.

If it’s not your thing, cool.
Just don’t act like the grocery store is a sterile environment while judging people who actually know where their food came from. 🥛🥬

* WE DO NOT SELL RAW MILK*
Maybe one day MS will be cool and allow it 😉

Updated pricing until I get another separator to make regular cream. The cream currently is very heavy and thick using much more milk to make.

We are using alot more milk making heavier cream and therefore we need to adjust pricing. When I get another separator I can offer regular cream again instead of just heavy. We really didn't want to adjust pricing but we have to with the amount of milk we are using to make cream. If I make any other adjustment to the screw for thickness I run the risk of losing the screw again and they are impossible to get my hands on. Im so so sorry to do this. Milk stays the same price of $8 per gallon.
Cream pricing STARTING JANUARY 1, 2026:
8 pint
15 quart
25 half gallon

🥛💪🧐😍DRINKING RAW MILK = LOWER RATES OF ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES: Here are three important studies.
1. The PARSIFAL of over 14,800 European children (from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland) found that there is a “significant inverse association between farm [raw] milk consumption and childhood asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, sensitization to pollen, a mix of food allergens, and horse dander." The study found that, regardless of which environment the children lived in, those children who drank raw milk had significantly lower rates of allergies and asthma than children who did not drink raw milk. These effects were “most pronounced in children drinking farm milk since their first year of life.”


2. The GABRIELA study of over 8,000 European children (from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) found that raw milk consumption is associated with significantly lower rates of allergies and asthma, and that this beneficial effect is independent of other farm exposures. It was found that early exposure to raw milk (at

Love love making cream. I love to have cream frozen in ice cube trays to toss in mashed potatoes and my coffee so it isnt diluted w ice water. The butter is out of this world. Cream cake.... Say no more. What do u like to do with cream?!

So let’s talk… Three things most people don’t know about real, raw milk — and they’re especially true as the seasons change:

1️⃣ Raw milk naturally separates.
That beautiful cream line isn’t a flaw — it’s the sign of real milk doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Nothing forced. Nothing broken. Nothing homogenized.

2️⃣ Raw milk reflects the season.
When cows are on fresh, green grass, the milk and cream turn more golden from natural beta-carotene.
When winter comes and cows shift to hay, the milk often becomes richer in texture and slightly lighter in color.
That’s what real food does — it follows the rhythm of the farm. And that’s a beautiful thing! 💕

3️⃣ Raw milk is all about management.
Clean cows.
Clean hands.
Clean habits.
Rapid chilling.
Consistency over shortcuts.

Good milk doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because a farmer showed up — every single day — with intention and stewardship. 😘

Real milk has character.
Real food has seasons.
Real farms have rhythm.
