Lucas Organic Farms' raw dairy comes from pasture-raised Jersey cows, known for their rich, nutrient-dense milk.
Available products include:
- Whole raw milk (note that they also have low-fat raw milk so be sure to check and get the whole)
- Cream
- Butter
- Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- Buttermilk
Because of Ohio regulations, Lucas Organic Farms offers their raw dairy through a Private Membership Association (PMA) structure and/or labeled as pet food to ensure legal compliance while maintaining access to the same high-quality products.
What is a PMA?
A Private Membership Association (PMA) allows individuals to obtain raw dairy directly from the farm by becoming part of a private membership organization. Instead of purchasing milk in a traditional retail setting, members are:
- Supporting the farm directly
- Gaining access to raw dairy products
- Participating in a private, member-based food system
This model helps preserve your ability to access real, farm-fresh dairy while staying within current regulations.
PMA Membership
Lucas Organic Farms offers a Private Membership Association (PMA) option for customers who want ongoing access and added benefits.
Annual membership of $35/year provides you with access to raw dairy through their private membership structure, and includes exclusive member pricing benefits, such as:
- $1 off per dozen eggs
- $0.50 off per pound of beef
- $1 off freeze-dried foods, jams, jellies, syrup, honey, tallow products
Membership may be used for dairy pickup as needed, or on a subscription basis, where you can combine products and quantities into a custom weekly order that is paid once per month and available for pickup on your designated pickup day.
Sign up directly on their website to become a member and get started.

Two Labeling Options (Important)
To comply with Ohio regulations, Lucas Organic Farms raw dairy may be offered under different labeling structures:
- Private Membership (PMA)
- Pet Food Labeling (Not for Human Consumption)
Both options come from the same milk, same cows, and same handling process—the difference is strictly in labeling to comply with current laws.
