Small family farm using holistic practices on their animals and land. They offer raw milk via herdshare. Read about their program below. If interested, contact them for more information and the links to complete the forms to join.
Thank you for your interest in being a part of the herd share at The Turner Farmstead.
In the state of Tennessee there are only two ways you can legally access unpasteurized milk. That is through owning a cow or finding someone who sells milk as pet food only.
This is where a herd share agreement comes in. It is a membership. With your membership, you will get access to milk, and products made from the milk because you now own part of the herd.
You pay us, the farmer, a weekly fee for boarding, feeding, milking, and care of the herd. We do the hard work; you reap the reward.
The herd share is a $50 buy in. This buy in allows us to purchase supplies for you to receive your share of the milk. You will pay that via Venmo @theturnerfarmstead or via cash. Once the buy-in fee has been paid and the forms attached have been filled out and signed, you are a part of our herd share.
On the first form, you will tell us if you are wanting a gallon or half gallon per week. A gallon is $12 and a half gallon is $7. If you need more, please let us know and we can see what we can do about that.
Pick up is on our farm 855 Centerpoint Drive, Mason, TN 38049. You will also tell us what day of the week you wish to pick up. We ask that you come that day to pick up the milk or have someone pick it up for you.
When you pick up your milk, please return clean jars and tops in the box next to the fridge.
Periodically, we will have extra products made from the milk such as yogurt, butter, cheese, etc. There will be a sign with what we have and their cost.
When you pick up, you will sign a ledger with your name, day of the week and what you paid for. You can pay via Venmo @theturnerfarmstead or you pay put cash in the cash box next to the fridge.
Someone is usually always on the farm available to help if you need it. But always feel free to text Sarah at 901-517-0874 if you need any assistance.
