Local market that sources raw milk by the gallon from The Good shepherd Family Farm in McDonough.

ADGA registered Nubian dairy goats that are grassfed and milked twice per day. Hardwicke Farms feeds local perennial peanut hay grown by a Georgia farmer and a specially formulated dairy goat grain blend. Fresh raw milk is sold to order in gallon and half gallon increments. Orders placed today are collected at the next milking and ready for pickup on the following day. The farm is located approximately 25 minutes from Savannah, GA. This herd is on monthly DHIA milk test that checks quality, fat, and protein components. All milk animals are tested annually for CAE, Brucellosis and TB. This herd is not routinely given antibiotics or wormer unless their condition merits it and UGA withholding times for collecting milk are followed.

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."
