Join our Herd
Here at Providence Homestead, we strive to make our all-natural, 100% grass-fed, raw milk accessible for every family to enjoy.
To receive our all-natural, raw milk, you must “join our herd.” This is our way of saying you get to become a partial owner of our beautiful Jersey herd! As a partial owner, you are entitled to the raw milk that our herd produces.
Each of our cute Jersey cows produces approximately 20 gallons of milk each week! That’s a lot of milk! Most people cannot go through 20 gallons of milk each week… so we have divided up ownership of each cow into 20 sections which we like to call a “herd share.” Therefore, each “herd share” you purchase, you are able to receive up to 1 gallon of raw milk per week.
The “herd share” buy-in is a one time fee that allows you to become a partial owner of our herd! Each week we feed, house, and care for each cow along with milking and bottling the milk. This all takes time and energy. In order to allow us to produce the best raw milk we have a weekly “boarding fee” which covers the costs of feeding, milking, bottling, and caring for your portion of our herd!
Our one-time buy-in fee is $50 to become a shareholder in our herd. Our boarding fee is $9* and is billed weekly.
*We are currently in the process of becoming a certified organic herd. Once our herd is officially certified, our weekly boarding fee will increase to $10 to cover the costs of certification and additional labor involved in having a certified organic herd. Each member will be notified prior to any increase in price or changes to our herd.
one share = up to one gallon of raw milk each week
Our herdshare agreement is available to preview at this time. However, once we are up and running we ask you to complete a herdshare agreement and send a copy to us via mail or email to complete the sign-up process.
