1/2 gallon - Raw Goat Milk (PA ONLY)

Our raw milk should last about 2 weeks in the fridge after you receive it. Every jug comes with a sell by date on the cap, and the milk should last at least a week past that date. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (contaminants getting in, etc).

Yes, raw milk can be frozen. We recommend freezing it when very fresh, just after you receive it. We also recommend freezing for no more than 6 months (the longer it's frozen, the more probiotic loss). One last thing to keep in mind is that some people may notice a change in flavor when thawed. So it's always good to so a small test before committing to freezing in bulk.

Goat milk can use used as a cow milk alternative in all your favorite recipes. Our raw goat milk is delicious cold in a glass on its own or with a meal. You can also add it to smoothies or cover oats overnight for a delicious breakfast. You can make your own fermented dairy like yogurt or kefir. Or, use it to cook mashed potatoes, french toast, creamy soups, baked goods, puddings and so much more.

Will the cream rise to the top?
Nope. Goat milk is naturally homogenized. It contains smaller fat globules that remain distributed rather than floating to the top (like with cow milk).

What's the fat content?
Our goat milk contains about 3.5% fat and has a rich consistency.

What breed are your goats?
Our milking goats are crosses between Alpine, Saanen, and Nubian goats.

Is your goat milk A2/A2?
Yes! All goats naturally produce A2/A2 milk. This is because goats (and all mammals) did not undergo a genetic mutation like cows do.

Does all of your goat milk come from one farm?
Yes, all goat milk comes from Creekside Organic Acres.

Our raw milk is made simply and is never heated or altered in any way. Here's how we do it:
1. The goats are milked using old fashioned pneumatic milkers. 
2. The milk is poured into the bulk tank to cool down quickly.
3. The milk is bottled to order the day before or the day we pack it for you.

The milk is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
