We are thinking of doing something we have never done before! Opening up the herdshare for a few 1 month spots.

We still have quite a lot of milk but we can’t be sure how long this extra will last so we don’t want to commit to anything too long term.

These spots will be 4 weeks long. They include your buy in, cow and your month maintenance fee. Pickup is on the farm but don’t worry we aren’t too far from town.

Message me if you are interested!

We have room for ONE more seasonal herdshare membership! Pm me for more information!

We are swimming in milk!

So we have decided to open up 2 more seasonal Herdshare spots! These spots are 12 weeks long and a great way to try out our herdshare without the commitment of a year.

We also very rarely have full time open spots and when we do only choose from our seasonal people so if you want to get on our list this is the best way to do it!

Private message me for more information!

A few months ago I talked about exciting things coming….. and then never talked about it again. Life has been busy with spring homestead projects and large family life but we are finally back to working on those “exciting things”. Sooooo….. stay tuned…. And here’s a clue.

What is a seasonal Herdshare membership?

I realized I hadn’t explained on here in a while what our Herdshare is and what a seasonal membership is.

We have a couple of spoiled jersey milk cows. We spent a lot of money on these ladies. They are both A2A2, have been completely health tested, and are fed mostly grass but the little grains they do get are some of the very best money can buy and all organic. These ladies have never been given any hormones to increase milk supply (which is common in store bought milk) and are weekly tested to insure low bacteria counts.

A herdshare is not you buying milk- we do NOT sell milk here. This is you buying into our herd. You own a share of the herd and then you also get a share of the milk.

Our seasonal membership is 12 weeks long. It gives you a chance to buy into the herd short term for a flat fee.

We have run our Herdshare for 3.5 years now and 90% of the people in it have been with us the entire time! We don’t have a big turn around and spots are hard to come by so seasonal spots are a great way to start!

Send me a message for more information!

We only have 2 more fully open spots for seasonal memberships (a few pending so maybe another spot will open) but if you are interested don’t wait too long to secure your spot!

It’s been a busy week on the homestead! But so beautiful! I have a full household of happy kiddos with milk back in the food rotation!

Having two cows in milk is definitely going to be a new adventure! (We have always staggered breeding which means milk production has been steady but much lower).

Fern is fully switched over from colostrum to milk and Abby is almost fully over to milk. This morning we hit over 6 gallons of milk which is super exciting! Milk production keeps going up till about 3 months post calving so we will have lots of milk for a good while!

We are so grateful for these wonderful spoiled ladies who give us such beautiful, nutritious, milk! Also so grateful to have cream back in my coffee!
