Every jug comes with a best by date on the cap to help guide you. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, raw milk can be frozen. We recommend freezing it when very fresh, just after you receive it. We also recommend freezing for no more than 6 months (the longer it's frozen, the more probiotic loss). One last thing to keep in mind is that some pets may notice a change in flavor when thawed. So it's always good to so a small test before committing to freezing in bulk.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question6\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question6\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    Yummy Suggestions\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003eOur raw milk is delicious cold in a glass on its own or with a meal. But, there are soooo many culinary uses for raw milk at home. Make your own fermented dairy like yogurt or kefir. Make cheese (ricotta is a simple one). Use it in a smoothie. Or, use it to cook mashed potatoes, french toast, creamy soups, baked goods, puddings and so much more.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question7\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question7\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    Common Questions\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour milk lasts so long. Why is that?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThat'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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill the cream rise to the top?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes! 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the fat content of your milk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJersey 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat breed are your cows?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOur herds are 80% Jersey and 20% Jersey crosses (Jersey\/Guernsey, Jersey\/Brown Swiss, Jersey\/Holstein, etc).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you verify that your milk is A2\/A2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes all of your milk come from one farm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe are a collection of Amish run small farms in Lancaster County that all follow the same exact farming and quality standards.
