Raw Milk Cheese in Virginia

<p>Today I’m going to review how to get raw milk cheese in Virginia via our herd share program. And, because I have lots of new listeners, I’m going to review our creamery project.</p> <p>I do want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and welcome back to my veteran homestead loving regulars. Thank you so much for stopping by the FarmCast every week. I appreciate you all so much.</p> <p>As always, there’s a lot going on and there is not nearly enough time in the day to get everything done. And as always, I love it. It’s so good to be alive.</p> <h2>Homestead Life Updates</h2> <p>We are finally getting a break from the heat. Rain has finally returned – at least for the time being. There is still quite a bit of summer left to go.</p> <h3>Herd Share Program</h3> <p>It has been a while since I talked about our Herd Share program. We offer you the opportunity to have your own part of our dairy herd. You too can experience what we are blessed with by virtue of operating our homestead. I know all of you cannot possibly do what we are doing, but you’d like to have the benefit of fresh dairy products from pasture raised cows.</p> <p>The way you obtain raw milk cheese in Virginia is to purchase part of the herd and then simply pay a monthly boarding and maintenance fee and we will take care of everything else for you. On a weekly basis, you come to the farm and pick up your fresh milk products. We have butter and cheese year-round. During the active milking season we also have fresh, raw A2A2 milk and Yogurt.</p> <p>We guarantee fresh milk from the first Saturday in May through the last Saturday in October. Sometimes we have milk earlier and sometimes it lasts longer into November. As I said earlier cheese and butter are available year-round. We have many members who are only in it for the cheese and butter.</p> <p>If you are not familiar with A2A2 milk, I have a podcast on that topic titled, “<a href= "https://peacefulheartfarm.com/what-is-a2a2-milk/">What is A2A2 Milk?</a>”.
