About us!

Established in 1883, Milligan Dairy Farm has been dedicated to providing high-quality dairy products to our local community for over a century. We are delighted to offer our customers the opportunity to participate in our cow share milk program, allowing individuals and families to enjoy the benefits of fresh, wholesome milk while supporting local agriculture and knowing exactly where their milk comes from.

 

Our Ladies:

  • Meet Jelly, Milkshake, Peanut Butter, and Josey, some of the cherished members of our cow family. These A2/A2 grass-fed cows, along with others in our carefully selected herd of Shorthorns, Brown Swiss, Dutch Belted, Jersey, and American Lineback breeds, contribute to the exceptional milk quality and rich flavor you'll experience.

 

How does the cow share program work?

  • A cow share is essentially a cooperative arrangement where participants purchase shares of a cow or herd, entitling them to a portion of the milk produced by the cows.

  • Each share represents a percentage of ownership in the herd, with one share typically providing a weekly or monthly allotment of milk.

  • Participants pay a fee upfront to purchase their share(s) and contribute toward the care, feeding, and maintenance of the cows.

 

Why choose our cow share milk program?

Farm-to-Table Freshness: By participating in our cow share program, you can enjoy the taste and freshness of milk straight from Jelly, Milkshake, Peanut Butter, Josey, and our other well-cared-for, A2/A2 grass-fed cows.
