Straight Up Outside serves milk the way God and cows intended—raw, real, and ridiculously good.🥛🐄
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!
This farm is a true gem in southern Minnesota. The milk we get here is so incredibly delicious, my kids beg for more. Yes, it is more expensive than grocery store milk, but I guarantee once you taste the difference and have the peace of mind knowing the farmers and the cows, you will have no interest in going back to store bought. It doesn't take long to figure out that Annie and Nick are good, honest, lovely people. My family of six looks forward to our trips to the farm, and I always leave with a smile on my face and having felt welcomed. Annie is a natural teacher, she's always willing to help us learn more about the farm. As "city folk" we think it's so important to have our children learn where their food comes from and meet the hard working farmers putting in the time and energy to deliver us extra nutritious and sustainable foods. I wish them continued success, as I've already seen their herd grow! If you're on the fence about trying raw milk, you will not regret purchasing from Straight Up Outside. And if you follow them on Instagram you'll get such cute cow pictures and videos!

Annie and Nick have such a great source of amazing rich raw milk. As a mom of 3 little kids its been so wonderful to offer them so much unprocessed nutrition in a cup. The milk has a wonderful fat content and is rich in flavor. This milk is such a gift! Annie and Nick are very professional and have made an extra effort to offer only A2 milk. Eggs are also so good! Way way better than any store eggs.
The most delicious raw milk you’ll ever drink! We turned to drinking only raw milk about a year ago and don’t plan on turning back! Annie & Nick care deeply about their cows and the quality of their milk is expressed in how they steward their animals and land. So happy to have this farm store right in our “backyard”!
