Stars Farm
Raw Milk
Coming Soon 2023
We understand the importance of foods that are local, pastured, and raw
We are a husband and wife team, Jay and Liz, with Liz's years of experience working for the well-respected Johnson's Acres raw milk dairy in metro Denver
We are coming to the Grand Junction area in April 2023. Our farm will be near Mack, CO
If you are interested in getting milk shares from us, please join our mailing list, and we will keep you posted when we are ready to operate
We operate strictly under C.R.S. § 25-5.5-117
Milk Share Summary
Your cows will live on the open pasture 24/7, with access to water, mineral licks, and shelters, and will be fed non-GMO alfalfa and a variety of grass. Grains will only be a rare treat if we ever remember to get any
We will maintain two parallel testing programs to monitor the raw milk's safety: daily on-farm lab testing for coliforms and Standard Plate Count using the 3M Petrifilm testing system, and monthly testing at a certified microbiology laboratory that specializes in raw milk testing. All test reports will be available on this website
One-time herd share fee: $50. The share is refundable if you ever withdraw as a share holder
Monthly boarding fee for one share: $50. One share entitles you to one gallon of milk from the herd per week. So a half share is $25, two shares being $100, etc.
Free self pick-up at our farm near Mack, CO
For a monthly $5 flat fee, we can deliver to central drop-off locations for our share holders in the Grand Valley
Monthly boarding fees and delivery fees will be waived for the hosts of the drop-off locations. Let us know if you are interested in becoming a host as a share holder. We will supply the fridge
If there is a large demand in nearby areas such as Delta and Montrose, we can look into setting up deliveries beyond the Grand Valley
Once our operation is up and running, we will contact you to sign the Dairy Herd Bill of Sale and set up the one-time and the recurring payments
And of course, after you become a partial share holder of the herd, you'll have unlimited petting of future baby calves, and more! Stay tuned!
