Is your food organic?
All of our food is grown using organic methods. It is entirely free of hormones, antibiotics, GMOs and almost entirely without pesticides.
Why does milk sold in supermarket have a longer shelf life?
The majority of milk found in supermarkets, including organic brands, is often not produced locally and has to travel further to reach you. In order to make sure the milk does not go sour prior to making it to the supermarket shelf, it is Ultra-High Temperature pasteurized. This pasteurization process will lengthen the shelf life, but this comes at the sacrifice of quality and taste of the milk. Our milk is bottled directly on the farm using a minimal, low temperature pasteurization and is delivered to us within 1-2 days of being bottled. It is fresher, of better quality and tastes better than milk from the store! You receive the milk dated for sell by not consume by so it often lasts well past the stamped date if kept cold.

Is there an order minimum?
NO- we do not have a minimum however all deliveries do have a $5 delivery fee. Setting up deliveries every two weeks or monthly is a great way to save once you have a good idea of your needs.
Is the milk organic?
The milk we carry is not certified organic. The farms follow organic farming practices with one small exception-antibiotics. The farms DO NOT feed antibiotics to their animals, or use antibiotics for prevention of illness. However, in rare instances they will use antibiotics to treat a sick cow if no other course of action is available. The health of their herd is their top priority. On organic farms, antibiotics are completely forbidden, meaning if a cow gets sick they get sent to the slaughterhouse. Our farms believe in the humane treatment of their herd, including antibiotics when necessary. When a cow is treated with antibiotics, she is removed from the heard and her milk is dumped during the entire duration of treatment. Once the cow is no longer being treated, her milk will be tested and dumped until which point it tests completely clear from any trace amount of antibiotics.
How often do I need to order? Do I need to set up a recurring order?
Frequency of deliveries is determined by you-the customer. You can set up recurring deliveries to occur on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis; however there is no requirement to set up recurring orders. You can also order on an as-needed basis. Once you determine your needs, while not required, we do recommend you set up a recurring order. This helps us better manage inventory and also eliminates the need for you to log in every week to set up your orders.
