Stars Farm

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!
