How to Buy Raw Milk
Buying raw milk works differently depending on your state's laws and the farm's sales model. Here are the most common ways consumers access raw milk:
Farm Gate Sales
The most common model — you drive directly to the farm and purchase milk on-site. Available in about 30 states. No middleman, freshest possible product, and you can often meet the animals.
Retail Sales
About 12 states allow raw milk to be sold in stores, co-ops, and farmers markets like any other grocery item. California, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Washington are among the most prominent retail states.
Herdshare Programs
A herdshare is a legal agreement where you purchase partial ownership of a cow or herd. The farmer then boards and milks "your" animal, and you receive your share of the milk as an owner — not as a buyer. This model is legal in states where direct sales are prohibited.
Delivery
A small number of states allow licensed farms to deliver raw milk directly to customers' homes or designated pickup points. Indiana and a few other states permit this model. Always verify current law before arranging delivery.
