🥛 Would you believe this milk we are tapping into is over TWO WEEKS OLD?! 👀
And guess what? It still tastes just as sweet and fresh as the day it was bottled! 🤯
One of the questions we get asked often is, “How long does your raw milk last?”
Well, here’s a little peek into why our milk has such an amazing shelf life!
🐄 It starts with healthy, well-cared-for cows. We put a tremendous amount of effort into keeping our girls healthy, happy, and producing quality milk.
🧼 Cleanliness is EVERYTHING. From our milking equipment to our jars, sanitation is something we take incredibly seriously. The fewer bacteria introduced during milking and bottling, the better!
❄️ Cold, cold, COLD! This is a BIG one! We rapidly chill our milk after milking and work hard to maintain that cold temperature all the way to your fridge. Keeping milk consistently cold helps slow bacterial growth and preserve freshness.
🥛 Minimal handling. Our milk goes straight from our cows through our careful filtering, chilling, and bottling process. No unnecessary steps!
We take so much pride in the milk we produce, and seeing a jar that’s over two weeks old still tasting beautifully fresh is pretty exciting!
🥛 Not all raw milk is created equal! And that’s why knowing your milk “dealer” is SO important! 😉
When choosing where to purchase your raw milk, don’t be afraid to ask questions! How are the cows cared for? What does their sanitation routine look like? How quickly is the milk chilled after milking? How is it stored?
A trustworthy milk provider should be happy to walk you through their process and explain the steps they take to produce clean, quality milk.
Because when it comes to raw dairy, the little details make a BIG difference! ❤️🐄
But it’s a pretty neat example of why we’re so particular about our processes here at AC Farm & Garden. ❤️
