What is a herd share?

Did you know that in Tennessee, buying raw milk directly from a farm or store shelf is against state law? Fortunately, there is a wonderful, legal way around this restriction: a herd share program.

If you're new to the concept, it’s incredibly straightforward. Instead of buying the milk itself, you invest in a membership that makes you a partial owner of our dairy goat herd. Because you hold a share in the animals, the fresh milk they produce is legally yours. It’s a brilliant arrangement that connects you directly to your food source.

The beauty of a herd share is that you get all the wholesome benefits of fresh goat’s milk without the 5:00 AM milking routine. Your only responsibility is a recurring "boarding fee," which directly covers the cost of feed, veterinary care, and managing the herd. We take care of the daily farm work, and you simply receive your share of the fresh, nutritious milk.
