EXPERIENCE THE PURE MOO DIFFERENCE OF FRESH, RAW A2/A2 MILK

Here's the details: To obtain raw unpasteurized milk in Ohio you either have to own your own cow, or buy a partial interest from someone's dairy herd, known as a 'herd share'.

Milk is bottled in half gallon glass mason jars and non-spill lids. You will return clean jars and lids at each herd share pickup. Our protocol includes additional sanitization of bottle and lid.

Share Purchase (a one-time non-refundable buy-in that gives you part ownership of the herd): $25

Boarding Fee: This is a monthly cost that covers the feed, care, labor, equipment, sanitation, breeding, milk testing, and boarding of your share of the herd

Half Share the boarding fee is $28/month. A half share is equal to 1/2 gallon of milk per week or 1 gallon every other week.

Full Share the boarding fee is $56/month. A full share is equal to 1 gallon per week or 2 gallons every other week.

2 Full Shares the boarding fee is $112/month and equal to 2 gallons per week.

Payment options for monthly board can be in the form of cash, check payable to 'Pure Moo', or Zelle during milk pickup.

Pickup location is at our farm at 2607 Laurel Point Isabel Road, Moscow, Ohio 45153 *Pickup locations around Cincinnati coming soon!

Upon purchasing your herd share online we will schedule an appointment to go over the details and sign your herd share agreement during your first herd share pickup.

Milk pickup times are flexible and will be available inside the Flourish & Roam farm market located in Moscow, OH.

Raw milk is NOT eligible for shipping or local delivery. It must be picked up from the farm market. If you checkout selecting another option you will be refunded the purchase price less $5 to cover processing fees.

The herd share is a one-time non-refundable payment that gives you part ownership of the dairy herd. You will still be responsible for monthly boarding fees determined by how many shares you purchase and outlined in the signed herd share agreement. 

A whole share gives you access to one gallon of milk/week that is produced by your share in that cow. A half share = half gallon/week etc. 

Herd share is not finalized until a signed herd share agreement is in place.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.

Get answers to commonly asked questions about our raw milk dairy.

What do your dairy cows eat?

A diversity of grasses is their primary diet. Now, we are in Ohio so that will change during parts of the year. Dairy cows don’t do well in snow and ice like the beef cows so they need some extra TLC and access to the barn in the winter. During the winter they get hay, alfalfa, hay silage. They do get a non gmo, soy-free feed at milking to meet their metabolic needs. It’s packed with their minerals to keep them metabolically healthy. 

What breed are your dairy cows?

We raise registered A2/A2 Guernsey cows plus our first dairy cow April who is a Jersey and A2/A2.

How often are the cows on pasture?

They have access to lush grass pasture all day and night. Josh calls for them in the morning and they come into the barn to milk then back outside. If you stop by the farm and see them loafing in the barn thats typically by their choice. In the winter time when there is snow and ice we will make judgement calls to leave them in a nice well bedded barn to keep them safe from slipping and falling.

Do they have exposure to herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, etc.? 

Nope. We don’t need to use anything on our pastures. We let the cows do the work on controlling weeds. In the summer we’ve used essential oil fly spray to keep them comfortable depending on the season. If we need to treat with antibiotics such as for mastitis we follow proper withdrawal and send off milk for testing before returning to our herd share. 

How are the returned jars sanitized?

We have a dish washer dedicated only for jar washing.

Dish washing detergent is from Lovett Sundries. Ingredients: sodium carbonate (washing soda), sodium tetraborate (borax), sodium chloride (sea salt), and citric acid (citric acid).

Can we easily adjust the share quantity as needed?

Yes. We do ask that you give us as much notice as possible. We don’t over sell shares or milk to make sure that we are meeting our customers needs. 

Can we read over the herd share agreement?

Yes, send an email to sarah@flourishandroam.com to request a copy of the agreement.

How long will a jar of raw milk last?

Some people state that raw milk doesn't go bad. But a jar will typically last 14 days before you may start noticing a difference in flavor profiles. We've personally had jars that taste the same even 21 days later.

Do you offer just cream or raw butter?

Not at this time but you can make butter and scoop the cream off your milk at home.

Is there a waitlist?

Not at this time. We started our dairy in April of 2024 and have continued to grow our herd as demand increased.
