🐮 **** PRICE CHANGE effective: Thursday, October 1st 🐮
****** Due to rising operating costs, we are increasing the price of our milk. We’ve held steady on our price for the past 18 months and adjustment is necessary for financial sustainability of our farm. The price of a gallon of milk is increasing by $1 and half gallon by 50 cents.
Each gallon: $12
Each half: $6.50 (per half gallon)
Peak inside the barn: rain, shine, freezing, hot, holidays… work goes on every day of the year…
** Melinda and Albert’s day starts at 5:00 am. Melinda works on the farm 12-14 hours a day/365 days a year… over 90-hour work weeks (how do you calculate that overtime?). Albert has a full-time remote office job and is required to report to work in Temple (Mon-Fri) so his time in the barn is very limited in the morning. When Albert returns home from his office job, he joins Melinda to do more work in the evening with the dairy. They are an amazing dynamic duo managing 12-14 hour workdays every single day of the year!
** The work is endless, the hours are long, and the sacrifices are heavy. Vacations are NEVER… there’s no clock to punch out from. No matter how we feel… we MUST get up and move. Farming will break your body, test your faith, and stretch your spirit thin. And still—Melinda and Albert wake up every day and do it again and again. Because it matters.
** The cost of providing quality feed to all our cows in 2025 was $40,000… this doesn’t even include all the hay we purchase as well. Wish Sam’s or Cosco had a discount for cow hay! If you think your grocery bill is high, imagine feeding the number of mouths we feed and they weigh up to 2,000 plus pounds.
** No grants paid for any of our expenses, property, or equipment. No land was inherited… we paid for all of it. We refinanced our home and used that money to provide a quality barn and milk house. With the refinance, Albert and Melinda will be in their 80’s by the time the house is paid off since they invested in YOU with quality facilities.
**We care about animals living good lives, not factory lives.
**We care about families drinking fresh milk that is real, clean, and nourishing.
**We care about the land beneath our feet, the soil in our hands, and the legacy we leave behind.
❤🤍💙 We have worked hard to keep the increase as reasonable as we can while still making sure the numbers work for our farm. We are grateful for every family that has chosen to buy milk from us whether you’ve been here for years or just discovered us. We don’t take your support for granted. We are blessed beyond measure by our milk families and thank you for supporting our family farm! ❤🤍💙
