Raw A2/A2 Jersey milk available for herd shares and pet milk, per current NC law. (Every state is different regarding how raw milk can be sold or dispensed.)

Farmer's statement: "We love our Jersey milk cow, Rosie! She is a registered Jersey and we have not given her any antibiotics, growth hormones or fed her any animal by-products. Her milk is sweet, delicious and nutrient dense. Rosie is fed grass (hay in winter), and essential to her when she is in milk, high quality grain, so her body is kept in condition. Rosie is given organic oats, organic barley, organic kelp which we then ferment all together for further nutritional uptake for her. She also has access to Redmond minerals.

"A little Cow 101, if a cow is not bred specifically for a grass only diet, as is the case with many Jerseys in the US today, the cow can suffer physically. While in milk, she has been bred so that her intake of grass and hay only produces more milk instead of nourishing her body. We work hard to ensure Rosie is healthy and strong and has what she needs so as not to lose body condition while working so hard to give milk to us. Check out our website for upcoming blog posts about why our family chose raw milk 10 years ago, or look us up on Facebook!"

Jewel Hill Farms offers raw milk through their dairy cowshare program. They are a small sixth generation family farm just outside of Marshall, NC; raising A2/A2 registered Jersey dairy cows that enjoy free access to grass/hay, free choice minerals, and (tested) fresh water outdoors. Cows are fed a small amount non-GMO grain at milking time and are given absolutely no growth hormones; and no antibiotics, or other medication on a regular basis. One dairy share provides a member with one gallon (on average) of raw milk per week. Transport kits comprised of sanitizable coolers, ice wraps, and half-gallon glass jars with plastic lids are included with dairy shares by deposit. Shares may also be used for butter, yogurt, or cheese when available. They also, in accordance with NC state law, sell “pet milk” (not for human consumption) for $6/half gallon. Shares and pet milk may be picked up during scheduled times at the farm, or once a week in Asheville. Jewel Hill Farms uses an on-farm laboratory to ensure their milk is tested regularly, is safe, and exceeds commercial dairy standards. They maintain the same high standards of care with milk for pet consumption. Test results are published monthly on Jewel Hill Farms Facebook page. They are accredited by the Raw Milk Institute for following approved procedures and best practices at the farm and in the milk parlor. As seasonally available, Jewel Hill Farms also offers fresh fruit, heritage breed eggs and local honey all produced right on the farm. The Ramseys invite you to visit the farm to see how a small dairy farm operates and meet your cows! Email for more information, or to schedule your visit to purchase a dairy share.
