33 best raw milk farms in Colorado | Organised

James Ranch
Durango · Raw milk, eggs4.7 · 1,365 reviewsJames Ranch is a family ranch in the Animas Valley outside Durango, Colorado, where regenerative practices guide everything raised on the land: 100% grass fed and finished beef, artisan cheeses made truly raw from the milk of their 100% grass fed Jersey cows, eggs from pastured hens, vegetables, flowers and native trees. The cattle and dairy cows are never fed grain, calving follows the grass in spring, and rotational grazing builds topsoil and outcompetes weeds. Kay and David James raised five children here, and the family now runs seven enterprises on the ranch, from the beef and cheese to gardens, a tree farm and the James Ranch School, guided by disciplined quarterly family meetings. An onsite market sells the ranch's products alongside goods from named local farmers, and the table on the farm grill cooks with ingredients straight off the ranch. Self guided tours, live music and events welcome visitors.
Mountain Goat Lodge
Salida · Raw milk, eggs4.8 · 295 reviewsMountain Goat Lodge is a bed and breakfast set within 20 acres of rolling pastures at the foot of the Sawatch Range near Salida, Colorado. The resident dairy goats, Oberhasli among them, roam the meadows and provide the milk, cheese and yogurt served at the lodge's home cooked breakfasts and used in its cheese making classes, and every goat has a name and a distinct personality. Alongside the rooms the lodge runs a milk herdshare. Members pay a small fee to join the herd, which entitles them to buy raw goat and cow milk and dairy products made from it, such as yogurt and various cheeses, along with fresh eggs. There is no set monthly amount; members simply text their order the day before pickup, and they are welcome to come and watch the milking each day. Cheese making, goat husbandry and chicken care classes run through the year.
Growing Gardens
Boulder · Raw milk, farm shop4.6 · 75 reviewsGrowing Gardens is a Boulder, Colorado organisation that runs community gardens, classes, children's programmes and horticultural therapy from its home on Hawthorn Avenue, alongside a working goat dairy. Food and plants are donated to community members who need them. Raw goat milk is shared through a herdshare, the model Colorado uses for raw milk, where members own an interest in the herd and collect bottled milk from a self serve fridge on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Milk runs from April to early December, with raw goat cheese available too.
Shag Valley Regenerative Farm
Grand Junction · Raw milk, eggs5.0 · 30 reviewsShag Valley Regenerative Farm is Dawn and Ron Donalson's family farm on Colorado's Western Slope, near Grand Junction, running since 2000. The farm keeps things honest and simple, in its own words: dairy, eggs, beef and pork produced without added hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, toxins or synthetic fertilizers. Raw milk is offered through shares from their goat herd, and the farm store lists farm fresh eggs, ground beef, tallow, lard, elderberry syrup, local honey, kefir grains and bee pollen. Dawn is a certified GAPS coach, a traditional foods educator and a Weston A Price Foundation chapter leader since 2006, and teaches cooking, fermentation and sourdough classes on the farm alongside seasonal tours with the baby animals. Ron manages the day to day of the livestock, land and the family's farmstay spaces. The family homesteads here with a focus on simple, sustainable living, and visits are by appointment only.
Black Barn Hollow
Sedalia · Raw milk4.9 · 14 reviewsBlack Barn Hollow is a small goat dairy in Sedalia, Colorado that keeps its herd deliberately small, milking only a few goats at a time so the milk stays clean and the animals stay healthy. Colorado law only allows raw milk for owners of the animals, so the farm runs a herd share programme in which members buy a small stake in the herd and receive fresh raw goat milk through the milking season, which runs from March to November. Members reserve a half gallon a week on a chosen pickup day and can add small batch yogurt, ice cream and cheeses. Goat milk soaps, lotions and lip balms made on the farm can be bought without a share, and anyone interested is encouraged to visit and meet the herd.
Pastures of Liberty
Avondale · Raw milk, butcher5.0 · 13 reviewsPastures of Liberty, part of Nola Naturals, is a raw milk dairy at Avondale, Colorado, milking Jersey and Brown Swiss cows kept on grass without grain. The herd is closed line bred and in production all year round, so members have milk through every season. The milk is sold through a herdshare, where you buy into the herd, pay a monthly boarding fee and collect milk weekly from pickup points in Salida, Buena Vista and Pueblo. Egg shares and pork bundles are offered too, along with a cheese makers special, and the dairy asks new members to ring and talk through the plans before joining.
Roots From Eden
Loma · Raw milk, farm shop5.0 · 11 reviewsRoots From Eden is a raw goat dairy, farm market and apothecary just north of Fruita in Loma, western Colorado. The family raise Saanen and Nubian dairy goats alongside many other farm animals that keep the farm, orchard and pasture sustainable, and grow more than 100 medicinal plants on site for their own line of apothecary goods, from tinctures and salves to pain creams. Raw goat milk is shared legally through a herdshare: members buy a small ownership share in the goats, board them with the farm, and collect their milk from the farm refrigerator in their own glass jars, with extra shares covering cultured cheeses, dips and ice cream. The shareholder group is kept deliberately small so everyone gets plenty. The farm market is open through the week and closed on Saturdays, aged artisan cheeses and apothecary items ship across the lower 48 states, and onsite herbal consultations are offered alongside telehealth sessions.
Ebert Family Farm
Byers · Raw milk, eggs5.0 · 9 reviewsEbert Family Farm is a family dairy in Byers, Colorado supplying raw milk through a cow share programme. The herd grazes native grass pasture and is never fed grain, with alfalfa brought in over winter, and the cows are bred naturally and raised without hormones. Each share entitles you to a gallon of milk a week, bottled in half gallon glass jars and delivered weekly to distribution points, with board and delivery billed as you go. Ordering runs through an online system where you can put your share on hold when away, so you never pay for milk you do not receive. Half shares are available too.
Historic Allis Ranch
Larkspur · Raw milk, eggs4.6 · 10 reviewsHistoric Allis Ranch is a family ranch at Larkspur, Colorado, run by Suzanne and Dwight, who started out wanting raw milk and wholesome food for their own children. The ranch runs a raw milk dairy, raises beef cattle and hogs and keeps honeybees, farming to organic, free range and GMO-free standards. Milk, meat and honey are sold direct, with orders placed through the online shop and delivery available. Ranch pickups are by appointment only, so get in touch before you set off.
Copper Thistle Ranch
Livermore · Raw milk, butcher5.0 · 6 reviewsClayton and Taylor Archuleta have built Copper Thistle Ranch in Livermore, Colorado since 2018, raising their three children alongside the herds. They keep Registered Black Angus cattle grazing the ranch pastures, and a separate dairy herd of A2, grass fed Jersey cows. The dairy cows live out on pasture and have their own barn with stalls, and the ranch says its raw milk is free from additives, hormones and unnecessary processing. The raw A2 cow's milk goes out through herdshare memberships, which the ranch keeps in limited numbers, so there is a waitlist to join. Copper Thistle also sells breeding stock from its own cattle for people looking to improve their herds, and it is a distributor for Ptasnik Land and Cattle grass fed beef rather than butchering its own animals. The family runs a photography service from the ranch as well.
Milk & Honey Homestead
Montrose · Raw milk5.0 · 5 reviewsMilk & Honey Homestead is a small family farm in Montrose, Colorado that puts animal health first, on the view that healthy cows make healthy food. The family harvests its own hay from fields free of chemical sprays, never uses antibiotics, hormones or chemical wormers, and gives the cows free choice organic minerals. For anyone avoiding certain milk proteins they offer certified A2A2 milk from Brown Swiss cows. Milk is sold through a herd share scheme, the route by which raw milk can legally reach members. Each week your share arrives in wide mouth half gallon glass jars with the cream still on top, ready for skimming or butter making. Contact the farm to join.
Moe Acres
Calhan · Raw milk5.0 · 3 reviewsMoe Acres is a family run microdairy and fiber mill in Calhan, Colorado, built, in their words, on grit, heart and heritage. The farm supplies rich raw milk from its own cows and goats through a herdshare program, fresh, full of cream and rooted in old fashioned tradition, and raises pasture raised pork with farm first values. The other half of the farm is a small batch American fiber mill, processing alpaca, sheep and specialty fleeces into batts, roving and custom spun yarns for spinners, felters, fiber artists, homesteaders and shepherds across the country. Between the milk, the pork and the fiber, the aim is the same: slow, intentional and proudly homegrown, bringing back the old ways from a working farmstead on Mulberry Road.
Homestead Ranch
Pierce · Raw milk, butcher4.0 · 4 reviewsHomestead Ranch is a family run goat dairy and livestock farm in Pierce, near Greeley in northern Colorado. The family has been in farming for over 50 years, keeping goats for more than 13 years and pigs and cattle for over 9. The herd is mostly La Manchas with a few Nubians and Alpines, and all the livestock is raised on grass and alfalfa hay, rotationally grazed through the summer and fed grass and alfalfa through the winter. Raw goat milk is supplied through a herd share programme, the legal route in Colorado, with the milk tested monthly and the herd tested for brucellosis and tuberculosis. Beyond the milk there is farmstead goat cheese the family has been making for ten years, plus beef, pork and goat meat sold through the online shop, and goat milk soaps, lotions and lip balms. The goats do not milk from December through March so the milk pauses over winter, and boarding fees pause with it. The ranch also runs a seasonal goat grazing service for weed control from April to October, accepts SNAP and EBT, and delivers locally for a small fee.
Somewhere in La Mancha
Fort Collins · Raw milk, eggsSomewhere in La Mancha is a small community farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, that began with six chickens and an incubator and grew into a place for reconnecting people with their food. The farm keeps over 100 heritage breed poultry and waterfowl alongside alpacas, goats and Dulcinea, the mini Jersey family cow who provides milk, cream and cheese for the family table. This is a farm you visit rather than a shop you browse. Time slots to meet the animals, hold baby chicks or sit with the baby goats are booked online, and the farm welcomes anyone who simply wants to slow down and listen to the place. Phone or email to arrange a time.
Larga Vista Ranch
Boone · Raw milk, butcherLarga Vista Ranch is a family farm on the bluffs above the Huerfano River near Boone, Colorado, worked by the same family since 1916. It is one of the oldest all grass dairies in Colorado: the dairy cattle are never fed grain, grazing lush irrigated mixed grass and alfalfa pastures for around nine months of the year, and raw milk goes to cow share members with weekly pickup at the farm, south of downtown Colorado Springs and in Black Forest. The ranch also produces 100% grass fed beef, never finished on grain, pasture raised pork rotated through the fields, and organic produce grown without pesticides for over forty years, supplying most of the Excelsior CSA into Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Ham and bacon are cured without nitrites, and the whole farm runs without pesticides, antibiotics, hormones or GMOs, building soil through compost and mixed species pasture.
Rocky Ridge Farm
Cortez · Raw milk, butcherRocky Ridge Farm is a first generation farm in Cortez, Colorado, founded by Hannah Usher-Gallegos and worked with Jeremy and Colten Gallegos. Under the Montezuma Valley Meats name the farm raises fullblood, DNA parent verified Wagyu cattle and Dorper lamb, selling whole, half, quarter and eighth beef shares direct from the farm with free local delivery across Cortez, Durango, Pagosa Springs and the Four Corners. Cattle are usually past 30 months at harvest and are finished on pasture, forage, premium hay and a selected ration made without corn, soy or GMOs. The farm's dairy side, Cortez Creamery, provides raw A2/A2 milk from grass fed Jersey cows through a herd share, delivered to homes in Cortez, Dolores, Mancos, Durango, Bayfield, Ignacio and Pagosa Springs. The farm follows regenerative, bionutrient and biodynamic growing principles, keeps ponds and thickets for wildlife, and shares farm news on its blog.
Shiloh Dairy
Bellvue · Raw milk, butcherShiloh Dairy is a family run herd share dairy in the foothills of Northern Colorado, sitting near Stove Prairie at the top of Rist Canyon and Buckhorn Canyon Road, just west of Bellvue. Its Jersey cows spend their days on open pasture through spring, summer and fall, eating fresh non-GMO grasses grown without pesticides, and the farm says plainly that it does not believe in offering them grain. The cows are raised without growth hormones or vaccines. If one ever does need antibiotics she comes off the milking line straight away, and her milk is withheld and discarded through a withdrawal period of 30 to 60 days, well beyond the usual veterinary guideline of 5 to 10 days. Raw milk cannot be sold in Colorado shops, so Shiloh runs as a herd share: you buy a share of the herd and pay a monthly care fee covering feed, pasture management, veterinary care, milking and herd health testing, then collect your milk each week. A half share is about half a gallon a week and a full share about a gallon. Members collect at the dairy itself or from drop sites around Fort Collins, Laporte and Weld County. Goat's milk has recently joined the herd share, and the farm now also offers locally raised beef in limited quantities, including steaks, roasts and ground beef. Members are welcome to come and meet the herd by arrangement, and the family breeds German Shorthaired Pointers alongside the dairy.
Willmarth Family Farm
Loma · Raw milk, eggsWillmarth Family Farm is a veteran owned and operated A2/A2 raw milk dairy and farm store at Loma, on Colorado's western slope. Ralph and Lori Willmarth raise Jersey, Guernsey and Holstein cross cows, and on this farm every cow has a name. Raw milk is available through a herd share subscription, with the milk tested once a month at a lab in Fort Collins. Ralph is a member of the Farmer Veteran Coalition and the farm is registered with Homegrown by Heroes, realmilk.com and the Department of Public Health. Depending on the season the dairy also offers kefir, yogurt and cream. Humanely raised, pastured hens forage freely in open fields for eggs, and the farm's cattle are grass fed and grass finished, sold by the quarter, half or whole. The farm store, a white tin building with a welcome sign and a red door, carries local, organic and raw products including honey and maple syrup from other local farms.
Hi Plains Dairy
Calhan · Raw milkHi Plains Dairy is a family run dairy at Calhan, a short drive from Colorado Springs, milking both Jersey cows and registered dairy goats. The animals are named and treated like pets, they have round the clock access to pasture full of varied plant species, and the milk is cooled rapidly after milking to keep it fresh. Raw milk cannot be sold outright in Colorado, so the dairy runs a herd share. You buy an interest in the herd, pay a monthly boarding fee and collect raw cow or goat milk from a pick up point, currently Ranch Foods Direct on Fillmore, Wesley Owens Coffee and Cafe in Monument, and Ranch Foods Direct on Town Center Drive.
Stars Farm Raw Milk
Frisco · Raw milkStars Farm is a husband and wife raw milk dairy run by Jay and Liz on 29 acres at Mack, Colorado, with a share office in Frisco. The cows live on open pasture around the clock with shelters, mineral licks and water, eat non-GMO alfalfa and grass hays, and the milk is tested weekly on the farm and monthly at a certified laboratory. Milk comes through a herd share scheme, with one share providing a gallon of 100% grass fed raw milk each week. Collection is free from the farm at Mack, or you can use paid drop off points serving the Denver and Boulder area, Summit and Eagle counties and the Grand Junction area.
Grand View Acres
Palisade · Raw milk, eggsGrand View Acres is a regenerative, direct to consumer farm in Palisade, Colorado, run by farmer owners Dakota and Christina. Their certified A2/A2 raw milk comes from grass fed Jersey cows that are rotationally grazed and never given antibiotics or growth hormones. The milk is offered through a herdshare registered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: members own a share of the Jersey herd and collect a gallon a week, and the farm shares ongoing herd health and milk testing information openly. The whole farm runs 100 percent corn and soy free. Alongside the dairy they raise American Berkshire Association registered heritage pigs and laying hens that alternate between a free range enclosure and a pasture raised mobile coop, fed a corn and soy free mix for genuinely low PUFA eggs. Herdshare members get first pick of the eggs and pork, and farm pickups run daily until 6pm.
Vision Farms
De Beque · Raw milk, butcherVision Farms is a family operated farm on U Road near De Beque, on Colorado's western slope, where the family has farmed since 2000. The heart of the farm is a herd of purebred Jersey milk cows offered through herd shares: Colorado law allows milk only from an animal you own, so share owners become part owners of the herd and collect a gallon of fresh, whole raw milk each week while the farm feeds, cares for and milks the cows. From late spring to mid fall the cows get all the green grass they can eat, with a small ration of ground oats, alfalfa pellets and dried molasses at milking time and grass and alfalfa hay in winter. The farm also raises Hereford grass fed beef cattle, broilers and turkeys for meat, free range laying hens and young pullets to sell, Finnsheep for wool and grass fed lamb, a large garden, and Australian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees pups.
Zwack Family Farm
Elizabeth · Raw milkZwack Family Farm is a family dairy southeast of Denver in Elizabeth, Colorado: fifteen Jersey cows, four children, and a weekly herdshare that brings fresh raw milk to families across the Front Range. Janie Zwack left nursing in 2020 to be home with her kids and started with exactly one cow. The herd grazes fresh unsprayed pasture on rotation whenever Colorado gives grass, moving to alfalfa and grass hay when it runs out, with an organic, corn free, soy free ration at milking. The family breeds without hormones, watching for natural heat cycles, and every cow gets a full three month dry period before calving. Milk is bottled after the morning milking and in members' hands the same week, non homogenised with the cream on top, every jar from this one herd and no one else's. Careful handling and sanitation are treated as the whole job, and the milk is tested every month to confirm the practices are holding up.
Sweet B's Dairy Goats
Pueblo · Raw milkSweet B's Dairy Goats is a family run goat dairy in Pueblo, Colorado, raising Toggenburg and Lamancha dairy goats. Mary Scofield fell in love with goats in 1980 and has bred and shown them ever since, now alongside her daughters. The herd is on 305 day DHIA milk testing and takes part in Linear Appraisal every other year, and the family sells goat milk soap and lotion at the Pueblo farmers market. Raw goat milk is offered through a herd share programme. Members buy into the herd with a one time share fee of 20 dollars for a full share or 10 dollars for a half share, then pay a monthly boarding fee of 50 or 25 dollars that brings a gallon or half gallon of raw milk each week. The does are fed quality alfalfa hay, a sweet grain mix and free choice minerals, all births are attended, and farm tours are offered.
Plum Feather Farm
Elbert · Raw milkPlum Feather Farm is a family operated raw milk dairy in Elbert, Colorado, conveniently placed between Colorado Springs and Denver. The family left full time jobs in 2024 to build a multi generational home centred on local farming, and now run registered A2/A2 Jersey cows on around eight acres of chemical free natural pasture, fed an untreated alfalfa and orchard hay mix with a certified organic, corn and soy free grain supplement. Milk is sold year round through a herdshare in half gallon and gallon shares, bottled to order and collected at the farm or at pickup spots across Colorado Springs, Black Forest, Fountain, Parker, Castle Rock, Elizabeth and Woodland Park. The cows never receive hormones, and if one ever needs an antibiotic her milk is withdrawn until every trace has passed. Cleanliness is a point of pride, with a multi step wash for everything that touches the milk and routine third party laboratory testing, and visitors can book a tour to meet the herd, feed a goat and pet a pig.
