Jersey Herd Shares

How do herd shares work?

Although it is illegal to buy or sell raw milk in the state of Colorado other than for animal consumption, it is not illegal to obtain milk from an animal you own.  By purchasing a share in our milking herd, you are essentially part owner of our cows, and can then legally obtain your own fresh, raw milk!

What is a share?

One share in our herd is a one time fee of $50. Along with a weekly boarding fee of $10 (subject to change) per share, each share entitles you to 1 gallon of fresh, whole milk. We feed, care for and milk the cows, and you enjoy delicious, nutritious, raw milk.

About the Cows

We raise Jersey milk cows for several reasons. They are sweet, calm, and easy to manage; they are small so they eat considerably less than most dairy cows; and their milk contains lots of delicious cream that is very high in butterfat. From late spring to mid-fall, the cows get all the green grass they can eat. At milking time, they are fed a small ration of ground  oats, alfalfa pellets and dried molasses. It's a treat that keeps them always wanting to come in and be milked. In the winter, they get grass/alfalfa hay. Each cow is dried up 2 months before her next calf is due, so that she can have time to rebuild, and we can have a much needed break. Then spring comes, the cow has her calf, and we start the process all over again!

On Farm Pickup


Our recently completed "Creamery" shed enables you to pick up your milk on your schedule, rather than ours. Your milk will be placed in the fridge in the shed on your assigned pick up day, and you are free to come anytime of the day to retrieve your milk. Your weekly boarding fee payment is due upon the pick-up of your milk each week.  A small envelope is provided for you to place your payment in, and drop into the lock-box on the wall. Empty jars are to be returned each week, so they can be sanitized before reuse.
