What is a herd share?

In the State of California it is not legal to sell raw milk or even pasteurized milk from a non-Grade A dairy. However, it is legal for anyone to drink milk from their own dairy animals. We understand that not everyone has the time or facilities to keep their own dairy goats, and so our herd share program allows customers to purchase a share of our herd, and thus receive the milk produced by “their” goats. We feed, house, and milk the animals, and you pay us for producing your milk.

The milk produced on our farm is extremely high in quality and nutrition, as fresh as fresh can get, and handled with the utmost attention to cleanliness and food safety. During the milking season (April-September) our goats graze and browse on fresh pasture every day where they get most of their nutrition. They are supplemented with certified organic dairy goat pellets and alfalfa pellets, loose minerals and occasionally some conventionally grown hay when necessary.

Testimony

"After having tried goat milk (both raw and pasteurized) from various farms and stores, I can confidently say that Fairly Grounded Farm's is the best. The milk is creamy, sweet and healing. You can tell the goats are happy because their milk is so pleasant to drink"
