Isla Vista Food Co-op

Raw milk · Isla Vista4.6 (246 reviews)

The Isla Vista Food Co-op is Santa Barbara County's only community owned grocery store, founded in 1972 by students and Isla Vista residents who wanted their neighbourhood to always have access to good, affordable food. Anyone can shop and anyone can join, with around 1,400 owners sharing a say in how the store is run. The shop covers fresh produce, grocery staples, a deli, bulk foods, beer and wine and wellness, leaning towards local, organic and seasonal food from Santa Barbara County farmers and producers. It is open to the public every day, and the Save the Coop campaign is currently rallying support to secure its future.

San Martin Milk Co.

San Martin Milk Co.Raw milk · San Martin4.9 (155 reviews)San Martin Milk Co. is a small dairy at San Martin, California, and the last dairy farm left in Santa Clara County. The herd is made up of Jersey cows, known for their rich, creamy milk, grazing fresh pasture and raised with a simple, traditional approach to dairying. The milk is sold raw, never pasteurised or homogenised, so it reaches the bottle just as it left the cow. You can order through the farm's online shop or call in at the farm, which is open every day from morning until evening.

Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company

Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese CompanyRaw milk · Point Reyes Station4.7 (137 reviews)Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company is a fourth generation family farm on the Northern California coast, sitting above Tomales Bay just outside Point Reyes Station. Tobia Giacomini emigrated from Italy, and his son Waldo established the family farm at Point Reyes in 1938. Bob Giacomini took the dairy on as the third generation and milked cows here for years before the family made any cheese at all. In August 2000 they turned out the first wheels of Original Blue, and the business is run today by the Giacomini sisters, Jill Giacomini Basch, Lynn Giacomini Stray and Diana Giacomini Hagan, which makes it a women founded and women owned farm. The flagship Original Blue is made from raw, non pasteurised, rBST free cows' milk and aged three and a half months. The range has grown around it to Bay Blue, Fennel Blue, Toma and its flavoured versions, Brie, Truffle Brie, Quinta, Gouda and a small set of cheese spreads. The herd is Holstein and is grazed on rotation, the pastures are drilled no till to hold the soil, a methane digester supplies about half of the farm's energy and new solar is being added on top of it. The marketplace at the farm is open Monday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm, and needs no booking; sit down tastings at The Fork have to be reserved in advance. Cheese is shipped across the country and stocked in shops. Farm tours are not offered.

Duivenvoorden Farms

Duivenvoorden FarmsRaw milk & eggs · Cottonwood4.8 (97 reviews)Duivenvoorden Farms is a family run raw milk dairy in Cottonwood, California, where the grass fed herd grazes year round and every cow is known by name. Milking happens once a day to keep stress low, winter feed is locally grown non-GMO hay and barley fodder, and the farm bottles its own raw milk on site. The farm store sits in the milk pick up room at the main barn and is open every day from 9am to 6pm, self service with a kiosk taking cards, cash and cheques. Alongside the milk you will find local gelato, jasmine rice, chai, toffee and baked goods, grass fed beef from Rockin H Cattle Co, and eggs, chicken and raw honey from 3C Ranch.

Perennial Pastures RanchRaw milk, meat & eggs · Santa Ysabel4.5 (126 reviews)Perennial Pastures Ranch is a regenerative ranch at Santa Ysabel in Southern California, raising cattle on pasture with frequent rotations that mimic natural herd movement, so the grasses recover and the soil improves. There are no synthetic chemicals, no grain feeding and no tillage. The ranch sells grass fed and grass finished beef, from ground beef to bulk boxes and quarter, half or whole cows, along with eggs and A2/A2 raw milk on a weekly Southern California delivery round. You can order through the online shop or find the ranch at local farmers markets.

Raw Farm

Raw FarmRaw milk · Fresno4.1 (162 reviews)Raw Farm is a family run raw dairy in Fresno, California, producing whole raw milk, heavy raw cream, cultured raw butter, raw kefir and raw cheddar cheeses from cows kept on lush green pasture. The farm states its products carry absolutely no antibiotics, synthetic hormones or GMO anything: nothing altered, just crafted, complete with bioavailable vitamins, minerals, enzymes and beneficial bacteria. From the farm's beginning, miles of concrete were never in the plans. The family maintain grass grazing for carbon sequestration, run the fencing, irrigation pumps and family housing largely on solar power, and bottle in BPA free, recyclable plastic. The on farm store at 7221 South Jameson Avenue is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, selling the dairy range alongside farm beef, cold pressed juices and raw milk soap, with ordering ahead strongly encouraged because supply is limited.

Sections Fine Meats

Sections Fine MeatsRaw milk & meat · Costa Mesa4.8 (74 reviews)Sections Fine Meats is a whole animal butcher shop and deli on East 17th Street in Costa Mesa, California. The counter carries pasture raised meat from California farms the shop trusts, with a focus on grass fed, grass finished beef, prime beef, pasture raised pork, lamb and chicken, and the butchers will help you pick cuts or prepare custom orders by phone.

Claravale Farm

Claravale FarmRaw milk · Paicines4.7 (42 reviews)Claravale Farm has produced raw milk since 1927, making it one of the oldest raw dairies in the country. From its home at Paicines in San Benito County, California, the farm bottles milk from Jersey cows directly, often selling it the day it leaves the udder. Nothing is pasteurised, homogenised, standardised or adulterated: with the exception of removing cream for the nonfat line, nothing is added and nothing is taken away. The cows are fed hay, pasture and grain, housed in comfortable quarters and never given hormones or other substances to raise production. Cleanliness standards for raw milk are stricter than for pasteurised products, and the dairy is inspected regularly by the California Department of Agriculture and the state veterinarian. Raw Jersey milk, nonfat milk and raw goat milk go out in returnable glass bottles to independent grocery stores, buying groups and farmers markets across California, and the farm also offers a farm stay.

Desi Milk

Desi MilkRaw milk · Modesto4.6 (38 reviews)Desi Milk is a family run dairy in Modesto, California, producing raw A2/A2 cow milk from its herd of Gir cows. The farm takes a traditional approach, raising the cows without artificial hormones and keeping the milk unprocessed from start to finish. Alongside the raw milk the range includes ghee, paneer and other dairy products, free from additives and preservatives. A store finder on the website lists local stockists, or you can ring or email the farm directly to ask about orders.

My Sisters' Farm

My Sisters' FarmRaw milk & eggs · Shingle Springs4.8 (28 reviews)My Sisters' Farm is a 10 acre farm in the foothills east of Sacramento, at Shingle Springs, run by three sisters: Pattie, Valerie and Janet. They started with Icelandic sheep, a heritage triple purpose breed kept for wool, meat and milk, then added Royal Palm turkeys and Brahma and Buff chickens. The flocks graze on pasture with supplemental organic feeds, and the brown eggs come from hens that roam the farm by day and are shut in at night only to keep them safe from predators. The sisters work with biodynamic composting methods and aim for a farm where the animals live an organic and natural life, and they built it around day jobs as a firefighter, a sheriff deputy and a nurse practitioner. Milk here works as a herd share. The farm does not sell milk to the public, and the raw milk from the privately owned herd goes only to the people who co-own it. My Sisters' Farm has been a listed farm with the Raw Milk Institute since 2014. Alongside the cow shares, the farm marketplace carries free range eggs, Icelandic sheepskin pelts, sheep products and registered animals, and the sisters run farm memberships and classes, the first of which was felting. At the heart of the land is the Willow Tree Grotto beside the farm's large pond, with a flow form fountain and a view over the lake and the old oaks.

Schoch Family Farmstead

Schoch Family FarmsteadRaw milk · Salinas5 (14 reviews)Schoch Family Farmstead is a raw milk dairy on El Camino Real in the Salinas Valley, California, established in 1944 by Swiss brothers Adolph and Ernest Schoch and now one of the last family dairies in Monterey County. Second generation dairyman John Schoch still does most of the milkings himself, running a herd of fewer than 80 purebred Holsteins that graze pastures dampened by fog drifting in from Monterey Bay, and his three sons Ty, Seth and Beau all work in the family business. The family bottles raw, non homogenised milk with its natural cream layer, makes artisan cheese aged on the farm, and cultures a traditional Swiss style yogurt from unhomogenised whole milk. Products are sold at farmers markets, including Monterey on Fridays and Aptos on Saturdays, and at select grocery stores and restaurants around the Central Coast. The farm works with local conservation groups on hedgerow planting, habitat restoration, composting, rotational grazing and improved pasture management.

Katybug FarmsRaw milk & eggsKatybug Farms is a small family run farm in Oakdale, California, raising goats and chickens with plenty of room to roam and behave naturally. The growing side leans on composting, crop rotation and pesticide free methods, caring for the land as much as the animals that live on it. Milk is supplied through a raw milk herd share rather than over the counter sales. Joining is a matter of filling in the short sign up form on the farm's website, and the family take it from there. There are no posted opening hours, so get in touch through the form before planning a visit.

JAN Farms

JAN FarmsRaw milk · PattersonJAN Farms is a small family herdshare run by Jeremy and Anita in California's Central Valley. Their journey started four years ago when they began questioning the nutrition in their children's diet and the unknown ingredients on food labels, which led them to raw milk and to seeing food as medicine. They keep a small herd of Jersey cows and share the milk through a raw milk herdshare, where members own a share of the herd, pay for its monthly care, and receive the milk in return. A full share brings a gallon a week and a half share brings a half gallon, with a one time fee to buy into the herd. Weekly pickups run in Livermore, Modesto and Patterson, and the farm also sells raw unfiltered honey by the pint mason jar. Interested families are asked to get in touch by email to sign up and talk pickup locations.

Red Rooster Ranch

Red Rooster RanchRaw milk · Agua DulceRed Rooster Ranch is a family operated, solar powered Nigerian Dwarf dairy goat farm in Agua Dulce, just north of Los Angeles. Because California law does not allow direct sales, raw goat milk is offered through a herd share: members buy a share of the herd and pick up milk from their own goats at the ranch on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Nigerian Dwarf milk is naturally the sweetest and richest of the goat breeds, and some of their does topped 9% butterfat in 2025. Members get first access to extras such as handcrafted chevre, feta and occasionally raw honey. The herd is managed holistically: no routine vaccines, chemical parasite control or antibiotics unless truly necessary, with preventative care and a pasture based environment instead. All adult goats are ADGA registered and tested for CAE, CL and Johne's, always negative. Manure is composted back into the gardens, spent hay feeds the chickens, and the ranch runs on well water and solar power. They also breed registered goats and teach homestead dairy classes.

Ferrel Jersey Farms

Ferrel Jersey FarmsRaw milk · NipomoFerrel Jersey Farms is a small Jersey cow dairy in Nipomo, on California's Central Coast, run by MeChel Ferrel. The farm offers raw A2 milk through a herdshare, and describes its cows as grass fed on seasonal pasture with no grain, supplemented with non GMO alfalfa, oat and grass hay. No antibiotics or vaccines are used, and the milk is lab tested. Alongside fluid milk the herdshare lists cheese, cottage cheese, butter, kefir and L reuteri yogurt, with A2 bulls also standing at stud on the property. The farmer's own words invite visitors in: cream on tap here, natural, healthy and loved cows, come visit our farm and fall in love. The farm's own website is a single page at present, so most of this detail comes from the farm's listing on the Real Milk directory and its Instagram presence at ferreljerseyfarms.

Naranjo Hills Farm

Naranjo Hills FarmRaw milk & eggs · TracyNaranjo Hills Farm is a small family dairy and egg farm in Tracy, California. Unpasteurized milk comes from their own small herd of Jersey cows and is sold through a herdshare, with pickup at the farm on a set day and time each week. They never skim the cream, so members take home full creamline milk. In the farm's own words the cows are primarily grass fed on premium hay from a local farmer with access to pasture, are given a small amount of alfalfa, barley, oats and beet pulp at milking time, are never fed soy, and have a mineral buffet available at all times. The farm is a licensed egg handler and sells hand gathered, pasture raised chicken eggs from February to October each year, from hens that eat all the bugs they can find plus certified organic, non-GMO, corn free and soy free feed from a local mill. Four adult mini and midsized Jersey cows named Moochelle, Bluebird, Ballerina and Clover live here alongside a herd sire named Zeus, the herd is registered and disease tested, and mini Jersey calves are offered for sale each year. Six Maremma sheepdogs live with and protect the chickens, mini cows, potbellied pigs and goats from foxes, coyotes, hawks and wandering dogs. The farm is in the middle of relocating to a new 320 acre property.

Ms. Lisa's Farm School on Mt. Helix

Ms. Lisa's Farm School on Mt. HelixRaw milk · La MesaMs. Lisa's Farm School is a one acre micro farm on Mt. Helix in La Mesa, in San Diego County, run by Lisa Clark-Burnell. The land is a permaculture food forest of hundreds of trees, vines and shrubs, with an orchard, edible and ornamental gardens, two micro pastures, pigs, rabbits and two Jersey cows, Ursula and Gerti. Lisa is a credentialed teacher who has taught since 1996, and for most of the week the same land is an outdoor classroom where she runs rigorous maths, science and language arts seminars for homeschool students. The milk is raw A2/A2 whole cow milk, sold through a milk share rather than over a counter. Members join the farm's Private Membership Association, pay a one time fee and $20 a gallon, then collect their milk from a dedicated fridge on a set day each week, bottled in glass with the cream sitting on top. Every new member is given a farm tour and meets the cows before the first collection. The cows are fed low spray alfalfa and oat hay, daily organic tree forage cut from the farm's own trees, seasonal fruit from the orchard and organic non GMO dairy pellets while they are milking, all of which the farm sets out openly on its milk share page. Membership for the 2026 cycle is full and new names go on the waitlist for 2027, when Gerti will be past her first lactation and giving more.

Blue Oaks Ranch

Blue Oaks RanchRaw milk · Grass ValleyBlue Oaks Ranch is a family run organic ranch at Grass Valley in the northern California foothills, kept by Ruth Bleau. Ruth was born and raised in Switzerland, the youngest of eight, on goats' milk, goat cheese and fresh vegetables, and she moved to Grass Valley in 2002 to rekindle that childhood and recreate the goat cheese her father made in his barn. The ranch runs a full blood American Aberdeen Angus herd alongside Katahdin hair sheep, East Friesian dairy sheep, Nubian dairy goats and Idaho Pasture pigs. Every animal is DNA tested and registered, and in the ranch's own words the cattle are strictly grass fed and grazing its own lush pastures. In her creamery Ruth makes chevre, quark, fontina, pecorino, tomme, gruyere and romano along with yogurt, using goat milk, sheep milk or a blend, and the ranch says all of its cheeses are made using only milk from its own animals. The sheep and goat herds are closed and tested clear of OPP, CAE, CL and Johne's disease, and the animals are fed organic feed from Modesto Milling alongside pasture grass, hay and vegetables and fruit grown on the farm. The sheep and goats are milked from about March to November, and the ranch's entry in the raw milk directory says the milk is bottled straight after milking and collected on a pick up schedule arranged by phone. Blue Oaks Ranch also raises breeding stock for small acreage farmers who want to raise their own food, and it has hosted a cheese making class for the Nevada County Farm and Food Conference and an American Aberdeen seminar and barbecue on the ranch.
