Milky Way Farm is a family run A2 Jersey dairy in Starr, South Carolina selling raw whole milk, raw cream and cultured buttermilk plus vat pasteurised flavoured milks from grass fed cows.
Milky Way Farm is a family owned dairy and creamery at Starr, in the rolling hills of western South Carolina near Lake Hartwell.
The herd is made up of registered all A2 Jersey cows, grass fed, humanely raised and kept on pasture, and their milk is rich, creamy and easier to digest for many people.
The farm bottles raw milk, raw cream and old fashioned whole cultured buttermilk, plus low temperature vat pasteurised, non homogenised whole milk, chocolate milk and a strawberry Moo-Berry. Everything is ordered online and dropped weekly at pickup points along the Interstate 85 corridor in Greenville, Spartanburg and Gaffney, and at Fort Mill off Interstate 77, with retail partners stocking the milk too.

We have been going to Milky Way for over twenty years. Great family and love the dairy and meat items we get there. Highly recommend.
A local Gem. Great products, great family. Especially love the raw milk.
The milk is very fresh and creamy. I feel like i am drinking a milk shake: )
We get their raw milk from a local store and it is by far the best milk I’ve ever had! I’m 39 weeks pregnant and have been drinking it my entire pregnancy. Thank you for providing high quality, clean and nutritious milk for me and my family.

Great selection of products. Can’t drink store milk but love their raw milk. Also make sure you check out the beef. Amazing taste.
Every Friday, we pick up two gallons, and we barely make it from week to week because it's just that good. For most of my life, I've been mildly lactose intolerant. Sometimes I could enjoy dairy without any issues, but more often than not, milk would leave me feeling pretty miserable. For whatever reason, this milk is completely different. I can drink a full glass without any of the stomach or digestive issues I normally experience. On top of that, it's hands down the best-tasting milk I've ever had. It's rich, creamy, naturally sweet, and simply delicious. We've been buying Milky Way milk for a long time now, and we've never had a single negative experience. We're incredibly thankful for the care and hard work they put into providing such an amazing product for our family.
Love their raw milk!!! You just can’t beat it. Thankful to have a place in SC that sells this!
The raw milk from this farm makes the best tasting lattes. I can't even tolerate store bought milk anymore. Its easy to micro foam with the steam wand using my Gavi expresso machine, and the extra sweetness and fat content in the Jersey cow milk makes for a very tasty latte and cappuccino. Careful, once you go Jersey you won't want regular milk again. They do also sell vat pasteurized which taste almost as good as the raw if you just don't want to risk the raw.
Absolutely delicious. The only milk my husband will drink. Our favorite thing is to yell Thank You Cows! As we drive past the grassy field where are the girls graze!
GREAT taste! Lots of cream and just absolutely beautiful! We moved from CA to the area a couple months ago and my first goal was finding raw milk for my family of 7 as we had been use to milking our own goats for years. SO happy to have easily found Milky Way Farms! THE BEST! This was not only a beautiful drive to the farm, but was close and the farm was clean and beautiful cows! My children always ask for more and we can drink a whole gallon a day lol I’m eager to try some of your eggs and have been so thankful for the southern way of local farms especially THIS one! Well done, Milky Way Farms! My family will be buying from now on!!
