Your milk lasts so long. Why is that?
That's right. Our raw milk lasts longer than most. It's because of our meticulous milk safety standards. We clean A LOT. It makes our raw milk typically last at least 2 weeks before it becomes too sour to palate.
Will the cream rise to the top?
Yes! Our milk is straight from the udder to you. And that means it's unaltered and non-homogenized. When it sits for a day or two, the cream will rise to the top. This is why we recommend shaking before serving. Or, you can separate the cream to enjoy on its own.
What's the fat content of your milk?
Jersey cows are renowned for producing milk with lots of butterfat. We don't test every batch, but it's usually around 5% fat, with the cream line landing 25-35% from the top of the gallon.
What breed are your cows?
Our herds are 80% Jersey and 20% Jersey crosses (Jersey/Guernsey, Jersey/Brown Swiss, Jersey/Holstein, etc).
How do you verify that your milk is A2/A2?
Every cow gets a genetic test with a hair sample. It tells us whether their milk contains 100% A1, a mix of A1 and A2, or 100% A2 beta-casein protein. Our herd is genetically verified to produce only A2/A2 milk.
Does all of your milk come from one farm?
We are a collection of Amish run small farms in Lancaster County that all follow the same exact farming and quality standards. A grand majority of milk comes from our main farm on site.
