Brownings Homestead is a first generation family farm in Cynthiana, Kentucky selling raw A2/A2 cow and goat milk through a farm pickup herd share.
Brownings Homestead is a first generation family farm in Cynthiana, Kentucky, run by Lauren and Drew Browning. They found a log home on 43 acres while Lauren was in her fourth year at the University of Kentucky, and within two years they had grown the farm to 104 acres. The name comes from Drew's middle name, carried down from his grandfather, and the couple describe themselves as first generation farmers who uprooted a suburban life to build a homestead.
The farm sells raw A2/A2 cow and goat milk through a herd share, which is the only legal route to raw milk in Kentucky. In the farm's own words the milk is not pasteurised, irradiated, homogenised or heated. It is filtered into single use food grade bags and cooled straight after milking, and the farm has built a small on farm lab so each week's milk is tested before it is handed over. Members collect their share at the farm on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, 9am to 6pm, and there is no delivery and no drop location. The dairy herd is on fresh grass with pastures rotated seasonally, with hay through the winter and a daily ration of high protein dairy grain, alfalfa, sweet feed and molasses at every milking. Lauren also grows cut flowers, sold from the farm's flower truck.
