Farmer's statement: "We are offering herd shares, and you’re invited to be part of our farm family! At First Light Farms, our beloved cows, Hazel, Suki, Maple, Roma, and Jill are producing rich, creamy unpasteurized raw milk, and you can enjoy it by becoming a shareholder in our cow herdshare program. Our cows are grassfed, happy, and in excellent health, cared for daily with love and attention on our 5-acres of pasture. We are also raising the next generation of milk makers, Clover and Honeycrisp, who keeps their momma's company. We're also milking year-round! "We take safety very seriously. All milking is done using sanitized equipment in a clean environment to ensure your milk is of the highest quality and free from harmful bacteria. We also regularly submit milk samples to ensure there is no harmful bacteria, and that our nutritional levels are exceptional. You will not find healthier and more natural milk! "When you join the herd share, you’re not buying milk, you’re becoming a co-owner of the cow and entitled to her fresh, raw milk. "🐄 Daily milking, care, and herd management are provided by us. All you need to do is enjoy the goodness of raw milk straight from our farm. "📄 Interested? Message us to receive the full herdshare agreement and sign up.
