Keim Raw Milk Herd Share is a certified organic family herd share near Canton, Ohio supplying raw A2/A2 milk from grass fed cows to members at ten pickup sites across Northeast Ohio.
Keim Raw Milk Herd Share gives families in Northeast Ohio access to raw milk through a herd share run by the Keim family near Canton.
Members buy an ownership share in the herd, which is certified organic, grass fed and tested A2/A2, then pay a monthly boarding fee while the farm cares for the animals.
The milk is returned to shareholders weekly in half gallon glass jars at ten pickup locations around Northeast Ohio. From April through November the cows eat nothing but fresh pasture, switching to hay and bailage over winter, and the family are researching cream and yoghurt as future additions.

Very happy with the ease of this process. The milk tastes great, with a thick layer of cream. We appreciate the glass jars over plastic. Win, win win! I hope this family can be providing true dairy for generations to come.
I've noticed a huge difference in hydration and overall health and wellbeing since purchasing my herdshare. Not only that the milk itself is absolutely delicious and amazing quality. I love visiting ZOE farms to pick up our milk and check out produce and all the other stuff.
I never experienced the real pleasure of drinking pure raw milk before. One only hears the negative propaganda of drinking raw and then shys away from trying to experience for one’s self. Not to rush along the days and weeks of my life as time already flies by, but I totally look forward to Tuesday’s and getting my new half gallon of milk. I highly recommend this product because it is really good, creamy tasting not to mention loads healthier than pasteurized from an unknown farmed source. I love this milk and highly recommend to everyone!!

Erin runs ZOE Farms with Dustin, on the belief that small family farms are essential to a transparent and healthy food system. Their team handles the coordination behind the herd share so the Keims can focus on the cows.
The milk I get from the Keim family is top tier raw milk, always fresh and almost 30% cream! It’s important for my diet to have raw dairy, so I’ve had herdshare memberships throughout my life - the milk from the Keim family is some of the best I’ve ever had. 1000% would recommend to my friends and family - and I do.
I’ve never liked milk my whole life.. until having living milk from the Keim Herd Share. I find myself reaching for a glass a few times a week and look forward to spooning some of the fresh cream into my coffee the first morning after pickup. Plus my trip to Zoe Farms to pick it up is always a joy. I know the family (and dogs) by name. Creating a relationship with the people who produce the food that nourishes my family is the way life is supposed to be, supporting families and not big corporations. Anyway, the milk blows the junk at the grocery store out of the water. Food the way it’s supposed to be - not messed with. 🤌
I drink this milk everyday. It is the most satisfying milk I've ever had. At this point i don't drink anything else. I've always been someone who couldn't gain weight easily, but once I added this milk into my diet, I finally reached a healthy weight for my height. The milk is also great for making your own unpasteurized sour cream. Its the best sour cream I've ever had! Awesome product, I can't recommend it more.
Prior to finding the Raw Milk Share, my family and I had written off store bought milk all together. After doing an abundance of research on store bought processed milk, we found that it wasn't as nutritional and healthy for our guts as we hoped it would be. When we tried the sample at Zoe Farms, it was an ahh-haaa moment.."now this is what real milk should taste like." It's a different experience with the fresh taste, and you can almost taste the benefits it's providing (no processed taste). Gut health is the center point of keeping my family's immune system strong, and this Raw Milk is an integral part of our daily desire to live healthy lives.
I’ve been a part of the herdshare for a few months but it has been the most amazing milk I’ve ever had. It’s helped my toddler’s eczema, my husband enjoys drinking a glass of it (and despises normal milk, even fairlife). It has been so wonderful to help strengthen our teeth and bones, help immunity, and it’s just the creamiest milk ever. I wish I had known about it sooner! I’ve had various health issues in the past and sometimes dairy is demonized but raw A2A2 milk is filled with so many nutrients and is really just a great source of vitamins that you can’t get from pasteurized dairy. It’s worth the investment!!
