Has milked cows her whole life; moved the farm from commercial shipping to an on farm herd share in 2025.
Benson Shady Valley Farm is a family raw milk dairy in Powers, Michigan offering herd shares with milk bottled daily on the farm, after leaving commercial shipping in 2025.
Benson Shady Valley Farm is a raw milk dairy in Powers, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, run by Krystal, who has been milking cows her whole life.
The farm shipped its milk commercially until 2025, when the family chose to stop and offer it straight from the farm instead through a herd share, so local families can collect milk that was bottled the same day.
Milk is bottled every day and keeps for 12 to 14 days, and everything is cleaned by hand. The farm gives its cows and land what they need to stay healthy, which means minimal to no chemicals. Joining works in three steps: connect through the farm's form, visit the farm to meet the cows, ask questions and sign the herd share paperwork, then collect fresh raw milk at the farm. Tours can be arranged through the contact page.
