Greenwood Farms is once again offering raw milk. The State Milk Board has revisited its interpretation of raw milk laws yet again and has informed us that the sale of raw milk is now permitted as long as we sell from the farm or deliver from the farm.

 

Because of the state's previous ruling that banned raw milk sales from uninspected farms, we cut back on the number of cows we were milking to just enough to supply our needs. That means until our other two cows calve in mid-March, we will only have about 12 gallons of milk per week to sell in Rolla and the same in St. Louis. 
 
At this time, we will only be selling whole milk - not skim  milk, butter, or cheese. Skimming milk is too labor intensive for us at this time, especially during lambing season, and we need all the fluid milk we can spare just to fill orders. We will sell our whole milk for $10 per gallon ($5 per half-gallon) available in either one gallon or half-gallon recyclable plastic jugs.
 
We broke ground on our new dairy in March (2008) and we expect to be up and running in a few short months. Once the dairy is completed, we will become an inspected Grade A Raw Milk Dairy - which not only gives us the facilities to milk up to 30 cows and gives you peace of mind concerning the cleanliness of our milk, but will also  open up more venues for the sale of our milk. The Milk Board is considering allowing us to deliver pre-ordered milk to the farmer's markets we attend and this may also open the door for sales to grocery stores and restaurants. We will keep you posted as this progresses. 
 
Currently, we are making a WEEKLY delivery to St. Louis (at the Edward Jones YMCA in Maryland Heights) until the Tower Grove Farmer's Market opens in May. We'll also be taking meat orders for these deliveries. We also make a weekly delivery to Rolla. For more information on these deliveries, please visit our NEWS page.
