Straight Up Outside is a small farm just outside Lake Crystal, Minnesota, milking Jersey cross cows for raw, grass fed A2A2 milk.
The herd is fully forage fed, and the milk is filtered and chilled on site so it goes home fresh.
The farm shop is open three days a week and milk must be reserved ahead, sold in half gallon increments for pickup at the farm only, so bring your own containers. Free range chicken and duck eggs and small batch maple syrup cooked over a wood fire are sold first come first served. The farm is currently at capacity for milk customers, with a waiting list run by farmer Annie.

Had a wonderful experience visiting Straight Up Outside. They were beyond kind and gracious and have a wonderful set up. If you’re looking for raw milk from a great family, this is the place to go!

When I first arrived to the farm, I was shocked to see such a comprehensive set up. Annie was an absolute sweet heart, filling up my mason jars full of milk for me. She was very very nice and even gave my son a glass of milk. He wouldn’t put it down until he finished it, took him at least 10 minutes! It was obviously fantastic milk. Also got some tallow and ground beef. Needless to say, I will be coming back again from about an hour and a half away from the TC area!
