Raw Goat Milk – Hudson Valley, NY
(1 Quart, Weekly Delivery) $166
The milk comes from goats who graze outdoors on grass. Their diet is supplemented organic grain (when they need coercing to come into the barn at milking time), and some hay in the winter.
Raw Milk – Hudson Valley, NY
(1/2 gallon, Weekly Delivery) $161
The milk comes from Jersey cows, which according to milk lovers, produce the most creamy and delicious milk. It is non-homogenized and non-pasteurized, and is produced on a humane, non-toxic, pasture-based dairy farms that practice small-scale, traditional processing. The cows graze outdoors all day (except for milking time) and their pasture is constantly rotated to allow the grass to continue to grow. Their diet is supplemented with organic grain but they don't need much of that except in the winter when there isn’t much grass.
