What makes our (your) cows special?

The few cows belonging to the members have been specially selected from over 800 cows.  Why?  The natural quality and composition of milk varies amongst every cow.  By scrutinizing numerous production and quality records of every cow’s milk, we are able to hand pick a very specific group of cows producing the most nutritious and best tasting milk available for you.  Some of these cows are Jersey, some are Holstein, and some are even from Sweden, called Swedish Red!  Together, their blend of milk is some of the best tasting, most nutritious milk we believe you will find anywhere!

Are these organic cows?

The cow-share members’ herd is not a certified organic herd, although we do follow many of the similar practices organic herds follow.  Most importantly, absolutely no hormones and no antibiotics are used in the members’ herd.  Pasture grass is available to the cows on a regular basis.  Happy, healthy, and comfortable cows,  No Hormones, No Antibiotics,  No Pasteurization,  No Homogenization. That’s what we believe makes Real Milk!

Why do we think local milk is important to your family?

Fresh, Honest, Local Milk:  Not 3-5 days old when you get it, not corporate owned, and definitely not shipped in from 3 states away!  At Heritage Dairy Farm, you see the cows that produce the milk, the barn they’re milked in, the feed they’re fed, and the caring staff that milks them.  You see the tank the milk is held in and the temperature it’s maintained at all times.  And here, you won’t have to wonder about the journey the milk has made before it ends up in your refrigerator, because YOU control the rest of the process.  From your cows, straight to your refrigerator.  The way our grandparents did it!
