The milk is drawn with a closed vacuum bucket system, filtered, then cooled below 40F in a 30 gallon bulk tank within the hour and bottled within hours of milking. The farm is RAWMI Listed by the Raw Milk Institute, one of only three raw milk dairies in North Carolina to hold that listing, and it tests weekly and publishes the results. Fresh raw milk comes by the gallon and half gallon, and cultured raw buttermilk by the half gallon. North Carolina does not allow raw milk to be sold for human consumption, so the same tank goes out two ways: as a herd share, where you own a small part of the herd and pay a monthly board fee, or as pet milk registered with the NC Department of Agriculture. Pick up on the farm four days a week, or at drop points across the Triangle in Wake Forest, Youngsville, Raleigh, Cary and Fuquay-Varina. Milk sells out quickly, so the farm asks you to call ahead. Chad and Chrissy also offer paid phone and on-site consulting for people starting or growing a farm or homestead.
