Meet the dairy cows...
Fern
Dolly
Lou
Goldie

 

2 cows now, and 2 cows later, and 2 cows another day....

We currently have 2 jersey cows in milk, Fern and Dolly. 

​

Then! We have 2 jersey heifers, Goldie and Lou, bred for March of 2025 claves. 

​

Then! Those calves, will be raised as our next in line dairy stock.

So on and so forth we grow with our cows and our skills. 

​

We are aiming and growing into a full registered, A2A2 Jersey herd. But aren't there quite yet. We'll let you know when we get there!  

​

Our kids also enjoy showing our jersey cows at the local county fair.

Can anyone get a cow and sell raw milk?

Rules and regulations

I mean, technically yes. 

​

BUT! You have a long list of rules and regulations from the state of Vermont to start checking off. There's a whole bunch of hoops to jump through and red tape to be aware of. 

​

Plus, cows deserve to be well taken care of. They eat a lot, poop a lot, and take up a lot of space. So, there's that. 

​

A dairy animal is a commitment. They need vaccines, clean living conditions, and fresh food and water constantly.

They need to be milked every day and monitored closely to make sure they're healthy. 

What about the health of the cows?

All about cows

Yes, yes. What about the cows?

​

Cows are regulated to have proper vaccinations. As well as clean tests for TB (tuberculosis) and Brucellosis. 

​

All of which get posted for customers to view in the Raw Milk Binder in the farm stand. 

​

The state also inspects your milking area and takes a peak at your cows.

​

If it makes you feel better, our cows come by name, like a full body scratch, and are out to pasture when it's nice out. Also known as "spoiled rotten".

Is it legal?

VT State guidelines

Raw milk is prohibited in about 24 states.

​

Vermont isn't one of them. 

But we do have strict rules to follow to keep it as safe and sanitary as possible.
