We have a great solution for raw milk

In my last post, I let everyone know that our milk farm manager was going to need surgery again. Meaning we were going to be out of milk shortly.

But a wonderful thing happened. Jen, from Jen’s Elderberry, one of our long time partners in the store, reached out to a friend who is also milking. Several phone calls, texts, and meetings later, we’ve entered into an agreement with another local producer to lease her farm and farm production. This means several things, all of them positive.

We will not stop having milk in the store in a week or so as we previously thought.

We will be picking up milk from the new farm on Friday as we ramp up. That means fresh raw milk is now in the store on Wednesdays AND Fridays, meaning you don’t have to be here Wednesday afternoon at 1:59pm waiting for the store to open.

We will be able to lift the limit of one gallon per customer as we are effectively doubling our production. Meaning you can now stock up on milk. Not sure we’ll let 5 gallons out the door with one person but we can certainly be less restrictive and still be fair to everyone.

Long term, with two farms in production, hopefully we can finally not have a dry off period where we are out of milk during the winter.

Our pricing is not changing.

This is all great news. I hope this is a welcome change to everyone and reason to come and see us more days of the week than just the rush we have on Wednesday.
