Milk Pail MarketRaw milk, meat & eggs · ConradMilk Pail Market is a small, veteran owned and operated dairy farm at Conrad in northern Montana, run on the motto know your farmer, know your food.

Watching over them is Magen, a young livestock guardian dog still learning friend from foe around the farm.
