How It Works
You may be wondering what exactly a herdshare is.
A cow herdshare is a cooperative arrangement that allows people to access fresh milk from a cow without having to own a cow themselves. In this setup, individuals buy shares in a herd, meaning they contribute financially to the care and upkeep of the cow(s) managed by a farmer. When you purchase a share, it gives you a portion of the milk produced by that cow. This model is beneficial for those who seek high-quality, often raw milk that is sourced locally. By participating in a herdshare, members support local agriculture and enjoy the advantages of fresh, nutritious milk while sharing the responsibilities and costs associated with caring for the cows.

🫙 Jar Deposit & Clean Return Policy
To keep our milk clean, safe, and flowing smoothly, we have a simple jar system in place for all herdshare members:
💵 $3 Deposit per ½-Gallon Jar
When you join, you’ll pay a one-time $3 refundable deposit per jar.
One deposit = one jar in circulation.
Your milk will be poured into a clean, reusable glass jar labeled with your name.
🔄 Jar Exchange at Each Pickup
Bring your cleaned and sanitized jar back each week to exchange for a full one.
We’ll only hand out milk in return for a clean jar to ensure food safety.
Forgot your jar? We can’t issue milk until one is returned (or you purchase another jar).
🧼 How to Clean Your Jar
Wash with hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Sanitize by:
Boiling for 10 minutes, or
Running through a hot dishwasher cycle, or
Using a food-safe sanitizer solution
Make sure the jar is completely dry and the lid is clean
