Our family-owned farm produces raw, organic, grass-fed, A2/A2 milk from cows. Our cows are tested for the A2 variant and are never vaccinated. Our heard consists of four breeds and are grazed on pasture, providing them with over 20 different species of grass and legumes along with many native species. We practice rotational grazing, the chief principal of regenerative agriculture, and the herd is moved to new pasture daily. The only supplement we use is mineral rich Redmond's Real Salt.
FARMER's STATEMENT:
My wife and I have cared for and milked cows for 45 years, we give them top care while using no antibiotics, vaccines, or supplements - just the nutrition and sunshine God provides. By living by these proven agrarian tenants, our milk is the most nutritionally dense and flavorful milk available to consumers today. We have plenty of milk available and will be adding four cows to our herd in Spring of 2024. There is no waitlist for new customers. Please call or text today. Thank you!

Heritage Farms milks registered A2/A2 Jerseys twice daily. They are primarily grass fed, supplemented with organic alfalfa, fescue hay, and given all necessary mineral supplements.
The cows are sprayed daily with organic fly spray to prevent transmissible diseases. The cows' udders are cleaned with an antibacterial dip before and after milking to prevent mastitis. Milking equipment is cleaned and sterilized after each use. Each cow's milk is kept separate, dated and labeled as to which cow it came to track quality and health.

Farmer's statement:
"Heritage Farms provides the freshest, most nutritious, sweet, butter yellow raw milk. You just can't match the taste and quality anywhere. We believe that to produce safe, high quality, nutritious milk you must focus on four objectives:
"1. HEALTH: This starts with the quality of the cow. Each of our Jerseys is registered and A2/A2. When they first come to the farm, blood work is immediately done to assure a clean bill of health. Each cow is immediately started on our high quality minerals and nutrition program.
"2. SANITATION: Bacteria is the greatest risk when harvesting raw milk for consumption. We strive for a clean environment for our cows. Because flies are the culprit for spreading disease and infection, our stalls are cleaned daily and cows are sprayed daily with organic fly spray as needed. Our milking equipment is cleaned and sterilized after each use. The cow's udder is prepped with antibacterial dip before and after milking to prevent mastitis. Hands are washed before and after harvesting. To prevent cross-contamination, we do not mix milk from different cows. Every drop of milk from each cow is dated and identified from which cow it was harvested to track the health of each cow.
"3. MINERALS: Just because milk tastes good doesn't mean it's nutritious. To achieve the greatest healing power of raw milk, minerals are the key. Our Jersey cows are put on the highest quality macro/micro minerals.
"4. TASTE: Taste has to do with what the cow eats. Our cows are grass fed and supplemented with organic alfalfa and fescue hay for the best tasting milk possible."

Reverence Farms has herdshares available in their herd of mostly A2/A2 Jersey cows. You will be able to pick up raw milk from your share. Contact them for details. They have provided an extensive statement about their herd and practices below.
Farmers' Statement:
Reverence Farms is inviting you to join our family farm by becoming a co-owner of Reverence Jerseys. This ownership allows you to enjoy raw milk from a herd of cows that you co-own. Our farm carefully nurtures green pastures, taking sunshine and turning it into the richest and most nourishing milk we know how to make. A friend once told us that he could actually taste our cows’ well-being. “I don’t know how to say this…,” he said shyly, “but is it possible I’m actually tasting that your cows are happy?”
Exceptional care goes into each and every animal, and our beloved cows transform pasture and our locally grown hay — which we make in partnership with retired dairy farmers in our area — into whole, living food.
Our cows are mothers first, and we treat them with the honor that such a title merits. Cows don’t make milk for our convenience — they make milk for their calves, and we allow them to be mothers and for each cow to raise their own calves, including the bull calves. No other farm in the U.S. that we are aware of calf-shares on this scale for both bulls and heifers until they are at least 5-7 months old, respectively. Whatever our cows offer in the parlor is freely given on top of what their calves need to thrive. The calves are separated at night so we can milk their moms in the morning, and they spend the rest of the day together. We don’t own calf hutches (except a couple as dog shelters).
We have a relationship with each animal, knowing them by name from the day they are born, and nurtured for the entirety of their lives. Our herd is an old-fashioned dual-purpose herd, and so you will be able to participate in holistic dairying by eating beef from the herd, as well. (As of right now, this is not part of the herd-share, but will be added later.) Since cows need to have a calf every year or so to continue to produce milk, the exponential growth of the herd requires careful culling and each animal’s life is honored and respected until the last moments. Knowing animals by name makes this act more intimate, but also keeps us humble as to what it really requires.
Suzanne and Hue, owners of the herd, will continue to milk, care, feed and shelter the cows, young stock and calves. You will pick up your fresh, raw milk weekly, and can visit the herd as well. Our herd lives as biology intends: grazing, frolicking, socializing with their herd, having shelter from bad weather, and wide-open spaces to roam and grow. Suzanne and Hue personally shepherd the herd from pasture to pasture, continuing to monitor and husband this unique and beautiful group of varied Jersey cows, that like cows on the Island of Jersey, are all colors.
We have almost entirely A2A2 cows.
Our herd is almost completely A2/A2. We milk 75 A2A2 registered Jersey’s, and two sister cows are A1A2, Pocahontas and Paloma. Vivian, Suzanne & Hue’s daughter who helps care for the cows, particularly loves Pocahontas, who is a cuddle bug.
We are certified grass-fed, grain-free by A Greener World (AGW).
Our herd is certified grass-fed, grain-free and they eat only a combination of fresh pasture and fermented grasses called hayledge or baledge, along with dry hay and occasionally Chaffhay, which is bagged alfalfa. We occasionally use molasses to administer medicine and supplements, as allowed by AGW.
We are certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW.
The herd is certified animal welfare certified by A Greener World (AGW).
We didn’t need to change any of our practices to become AWA certified, and our calf-rearing program leads the industry in welfare and far exceeds the requirements of the program.
We use natural husbandry whenever possible.
Dr. Karreman, veterinarian and co-owner of the herd, sees the animals every single day to insure optimal well-being for our herd’s health and milk quality. We use his herbal formulations as the first line of defense for common illnesses, but we don’t deny our animals life-saving conventional medical treatments, as necessary. We meet or exceed all legal withholding times for medicines. We do not use mRNA vaccines.
We are state-licensed and inspected and voluntarily test for pathogens.
We are a licensed and inspected dairy farm by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. We regularly test the milk at a third-party lab for four common pathogens.
Our cows help us build soil, create a biologically alive ecosystem that provides a robust wildlife habitat and every year we sequester more carbon than the year before.
Our pastures are fertilized with compost and bedded straw from the barn, as part of the regenerative practices that Reverence Farms embraces. No herbicide, fungicide, insecticide, or synthetic fertilizers are used on the farm. Ever.

Heritage American Milking Devon cows, rotationally grazed on clover/grass pasture year round. Supplemented with organic alfalfa pellets and chaff hay when milked or in training. No grain, no herbicides or pesticides. Milk is stored in glass containers, and available year round through a cowshare program. West Cote Farm is an organically produced micro-dairy operating on pastures in the Piedmont region of Virginia. Their herd of four American Milking Devon's (AMDs) are still hand milked using the cleanest standards available. They chose the AMD to milk and to assist in preserving the breed. AMDs are a critically endangered species because their volume of milk output cannot compete with commercial breeds. Please email them for further information regarding cowshare program.
