RAWMI-Listed Raw Milk Farms Across North America

Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI) Listed farms submit test data monthly to show that they are in compliance with RAWMI Common Standards, which target a rolling three-month average of <5,000 standard plate count (SPC) and <10 coliforms per ml of raw milk. Some RAWMI Listed farms choose to use a Test-and-Hold program, whereby they pre-screen milk and only allow milk that meets certain standards to be used for human consumption.

RAWMI Listed farms also submit an Annual Checklist to ensure continued low-risk optimization of their production of raw milk. Most Listed farmers choose to participate in our voluntary penny-per-gallon donation program in order to help the Raw Milk Institute sustainably continue its work.

Profile: We both grew up on hobby farms, and as we grew older, the desire to return to our roots grew steadily stronger. We longed to produce healthy whole foods, to become as self-sufficient as possible, and to return to a lifestyle surrounded by the natural rhythms of animals, plants, and environment. We especially had to know that the animal products we ate are from humanely and ethically raised animals. After 4 long years of searching, in 2018, we found and bought our dream farm.

Our farm is small and diverse, integrating managed intensive rotational grazing, follow-the-leader animal impacts, and organic practices to naturally regenerate soils depleted by years of conventional farming. We do not use any herbicides. We use organic fertilizers as dictated by soil testing to hasten repair of deeply imbalanced mineral levels. Soil health, carbon sequestration and animal well-being are of paramount importance. We believe that happy, well cared for, pastured animals produce the most healthful foods. And, as we knew we would, we fell in love with our cows!

During the grazing season we move our tiny herd of Jersey cows to fresh grass daily, over 5 acres of irrigated pastures set between orchard-planted silvopasture lanes. We supplement their diet as needed to keep them healthy, using non-GMO grains and organic alfalfa. When grazing is not available, we feed local grass hay.

Raw milk safety is of the utmost importance to us. We feel good about our uncompromising commitment to producing clean, nutrient dense, delicious milk. We are excited about our slowly growing micro-dairy and the opportunity to provide fresh raw milk to our family and the supportive community that surrounds us.

Profile: This is a functioning farm on a small patch of land. Several La Mancha goats live on the property along with a handful of chickens and ducks.

Our farm has a wonderful southern exposure and following permaculture and regenerative agriculture practices, this allows us to grow an abundance of blackberry bushes, grapevines, fruit trees, and vegetables in our raised garden beds. Our mission of treading lightly on the earth, food security, and mindfully raising and processing our animals is of vital importance to us.

Raw milk safety is more than peace of mind; it’s an innate desire to produce the best product for organic goat milk soap and delicious, nutritious milk and milk products.

Our cold-pressed goat milk soap is made in small batches and uses simple, sustainable, organic carrier and essential oils. We look at the ingredients we use and how they impact not only our lives but also the environment. We use recycled paper for our soap labels and repurpose packaging materials when needed.

We are excited to purchase a home lab so our delicious milk can be tested frequently ensuring Coliform and SPC meet standards for raw milk as established by the Raw Milk Institute.

We are passionate about providing a self-sufficient lifestyle growing and raising the organic foods and products we need to remain healthy and independent.

Profile: ​A project of the Foundation for Agricultural Integrity, the Churchtown Dairy is a biodynamic raw milk dairy farm that strives to serve as a beacon for those working to promote regenerative agriculture and restorative communities. Located on 250 acres in Claverack, NY our herd is comprised of 28 dairy cows and about an equal number of young stock and beef cattle. Our Brown Swiss, Jersey and Guernsey stock eat a primarily grass-fed diet and are given a life as in tune as possible with their natural rhythm. Calves are kept with their mothers and run with the herd, causing a slight decrease in milk production but also reducing stress on both the mother and the calf and thereby contributing to the harmony of the herd.

Calves who are unable to be kept as replacement heifers are raised for ground beef or veal, with the same care and attention as is given to the dairy cows. We also keep a number of pigs who feast on excess milk and whey from cheese production, as well as grain and table scraps. We strive to create a whole-system farm, in which nothing is wasted and all is either eaten or properly composted.

Working with the rhythms of the land, the sun, and the farmers, we work to create a farm that is both beautiful and healthy for the land, the animals, the farmers, the water, and our surrounding community.

How to Buy: De Melkerij does not sell milk to the public. Milk produced from the privately-owned herd is available exclusively to herd co-owners. Herd co-owners pay a monthly boarding fee. For more information on the herdshare program, please contact Esther.

Profile: De Melkerij (“The Dairy” in Dutch to pay homage to her Dutch heritage) is owned and operated by Esther and is a micro-dairy located in rural Iowa.  What started out as buying one milk cow to produce nutrient rich, fresh milk for our family has turned into something bigger. On our homestead we rotationally graze Jersey and Guernsey cows.  All are registered, a2/a2, and fed a natural diet of fresh grass supplemented with free-choice hay and a very small amount of non-GMO/organic grain as a treat at milking time. Our cows are dearly loved and add much joy to our family and homestead.

Producing safe raw milk is what brought me to RAWMI. I believe that getting back to nature and allowing our animals to live the life they were naturally created for, ultimately allows them to produce healthy and delicious milk. My part is to produce it in such a way that it remains as safe and fresh as possible. By implementing safe processes and procedures and by using an on-farm lab, which allows me to test our milk frequently, I can be confident in meeting the RAWMI standards for safe, quality fresh milk for my family and community.

Natural living and accessibility to nutritionally dense foods are at the core of what our homestead is all about.  In addition to fresh milk, we also produce grass fed beef, free-range eggs, raw honey, and herbal products.

Esther is a leader for the local Weston A. Price chapter, a member of Farm-to-Consumer-Legal-Defense-Fund and an active member of the local National Ladies Homestead Gathering chapter.

Profile: Grassway Organics is a certified organic grass-only dairy farm located in East Troy, WI. Sunshine, fresh air, exercise and nutrient-dense soils are the basis for our happy, A2A2, Jersey milking herd. Chaz and Megan Self own and operate Grassway Organics. They had a clean slate when entering the farming world being first generation farmers. There is no "that’s how Grandpa did it" pressure which allows the Selfs to focus on practices that make sense for the health of the cows and the product they produce.

Cow health starts with nutrition and nurturing at birth. Calves are raised on a nurse cow system where they are nurtured by a caring mother. During grazing months the dairy herd is rotated on 210 acres of pasture four times a day. This allows for a natural grazing pattern reducing the footprint and providing a perfectly balanced buffet of nutrition for the cows.

This translates into the healthy food that nourishes you. Food is health, food can be medicine.

We have developed a system for producing safe raw milk, which is supported by our on-farm laboratory. We test every milking for bacteria and contaminations. Raw milk is our passion and we love to share it.

Jewel Hill Farms is dedicated to safe raw milk. The Family Cow & the Shank family, pioneers with an on-farm raw milk laboratory, mentored us with development of one for Jewel Hill Farms. The laboratory gives Jewel Hill Farms the unique ability to establish a test-and-hold protocol for every single lot of raw milk. This assures that each bottling of raw milk falls within the coliform and SPC standards for raw milk as established by the Raw Milk Institute.

• Real Milk Comes From Real Cows

• Real Milk Comes From Real Cows That Eat Grass

• Real Milk Is Not Pasteurized

• Real Milk Is Not Homogenized

• Real Milk Contains Butterfat and Lots Of It

• Real Milk Products Contain No Additives

• Real Milk Can Save Family Farms

• Real Milk Is Nature’s Perfect Food

We are real farmers who raise cows with names, not numbers; who care how our food is made, how our cows are treated, and most of all we care about your family’s well-being .

How to Buy: Jorasz Family Ranch does not sell milk to the public. Milk produced from the privately-owned herd is available exclusively to herd share owners. To inquire about how to purchase a share and become a member, please visit www.joraszfamilyranch.com

Profile: Jorasz Family Ranch is located on 40 rolling acres in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula.  Andy & Teri Jorasz purchased the property in 2005 and have four children- Faith, Emily, Brianna and Nathan.  Together they have been growing and improving their Red Angus beef and Hereford Pork herds ever since.  Andy is a fifth generation dairy farmer and is still an active participant at his family’s dairy just a few miles away.

In the winter of 2020, Teri resigned her formal employment in sales to focus full-time on the farm & her family.   One of her goals became to start a herd share program and she began researching the possibilities.  She decided on the Brown Swiss breed for their docile nature, longevity, and beauty.  In June 2020, the first two cows arrived at the farm- Kookie and Kaloha, followed by Koko, Karmel, Klara Bell, Kandy, Kupcake & Karla.  They are all tested A2A2 and live a life of leisure, being rotationally grazed on thirteen acres of lush pasture.  At milking time they receive a ration of non-gmo grains, and have free-choice hay available 24x7.  All the feed that the cattle receive has been grown by the Jorasz Family, so they know exactly what the cows are consuming.  Andy’s knowledge of dairy livestock, herd health, nutrition, milking equipment, and processes have helped immensely as their herd share program has developed.

We are passionate about producing clean, safe raw milk to provide to our remote local community.  We are members of the Weston A. Price Foundation and the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund. 

Our membership is currently full, but openings and instructions to join will be shared on social media (Facebook & Instagram). Follow those pages if interested!

How to Buy: NYS Ag and Markets permitted for “on farm sales only”

Profile: LanaRosa is a 100-acre farm located in New York, operated by Lana and Wayne Scofield. They both came into farming with a seed of passion.

Lana had health issues and wanted to try raw milk to help with healing. Raw milk was difficult to find and only available an hour away. Nonetheless, after seven days on raw milk, she was already feeling better physically and mentally and her digestion had improved.

Welcoming all the changes and improved health, Lana and Wayne decided to buy a Jersey cow who ended up having a registered name of “Heaven Sent Little Dipper.” She really was heaven sent and a sign from God that they were doing the right thing.

Wayne had always wanted to be a dairy farmer, but his father discouraged him. Many years later Wayne was more than willing to take on a few cows and have his dreams come true to become a dairy farmer. All it took was one milk cow their pasture to trigger something so large: their community was searching for raw milk, with people willing to drive from far away in order to obtain it!

Lana and Wayne decided to take the step of becoming permitted by the New York Department of Ag and Markets in 2022 and just celebrated their first year in August 2023.  They are happy to share delicious Jersey milk with their community. They are a boutique dairy which only allows them to serve a limited number of consumers.

Profile: It all started so innocently; our oldest daughter wanted a goat. We broke down and agreed to "a" goat, but instantly "a" goat became "two" goats (she needed a friend). Those two Nubian dairy goats, Abby Lou and Emmy Sue, started our herd, which has produced hundreds of multi-generational offspring.

As the number of goats grew, so did our goat milk creations. We started with goat milk bath and body products in 2010. Proceeds from this venture paved the way for the pasteurizer purchase which enabled us to sell yogurt, cheese, cajeta and other goodies made from our farmstead goat milk. Finally, a law passed in 2021 enabled raw milk sales off the farm, as long as it is still purchased directly from the farm. This created a realistic opportunity to sell and deliver raw goat milk and yogurt, and with that, “Lomah Texas” came to be what it is today.

How to Buy: Join the herd! Fresh raw milk is produced for herd share owners for on-farm pickup.

Profile: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m city girl turned farmer after hatching chicken eggs with my kids for a home school project. Come to find out our HOA didn’t allow chickens, so we moved to the country. The farm fresh eggs were so good, so we decided to raise pigs, pastured poultry, beef, and finally a milk cow. I saw the health of our family improve with every real food change we made. So when we moved to my husband's vacant family farm in Michigan, the animals had to come too. We are committed to providing safe, ethical, and nutrient dense foods for our family and yours!

After years of milking for just our family, I am pleased to open up herd shares to my community. I have the pleasure of milking four beautiful A2/A2 Jersey/ Guernsey mama cows. These ladies live their best life as they are rotationally grazed through our pastures and enjoy hay from our farm during the colder months. Millie, Mary, Maple, and Sukey would love to share their milk with you! Herd share members also receive "first dibs" on all additional food raised on the farm including, beef, pork, lamb, and poultry.

Profile: Susan Muñoz is the owner and operator of Our Ground Up Farm. In 2007 Susan was looking for cow manure to compost to feed worms and harvest vermi compost. She soon discovered that a healthy organic cow was not easy to find and opted instead for a year-long class in biodynamic farming. Little did she know that cow manure would once again reemerge as a force in her life! In 2009 her family was blessed with twins, and once Susan began feeding her grandchildren Sally Fallon’s raw milk formula published in Nourishing Traditions, she knew she needed the whole cow. Susan was involved in 4H during high school and raised Angus steers to go to County Fair. The ability to handle large animals catapulted her into the politics of raw milk production.

How to Buy: Direct Farm Sales Only. Herdshares and “Pet Milk” available. Contact the farm for more details.

Profile: Seven Seasons Farm was started in 2018 after Chad and Chrissy Wilkins, husband and wife team and parents to 7 children, sold their suburban home and moved to the family farm, into Chad’s childhood home.  Their heart for homesteading began with a desire to eliminate processed food from their home, and to reduce their reliance on industrial ag.  They were introduced to raw milk early in this journey, and dreamed of one day owning their own family milk cow.

After moving to the farm, they began preparing for dairy goats when a wonderful dairy cow was offered to them for a song.  Thus began their milking journey.  They were as green as green could be, and there were lots of bumps along their journey of learning how to produce high quality raw milk.  Folks that had been in milk groups with them over the years began purchasing the milk, and the feedback was outstanding, and in line with what the Wilkins’ were experiencing - that the milk they were producing was the best they had ever had.  Continued research landed them on the Raw Milk Institute website.  Chad read and thought it would be outstanding to be a RAWMI listed farm.  But the farm facilities were modest, at best, and he didn’t think they’d stand a chance of having the superior test results required to be a listed farm.

Over the last 5 years, they have continued to improve their equipment, barn, herd, and milk quality.  And in 2022, they became only the third farm in North Carolina to be RAWMI listed.

They are passionate about the products they produce, and they love the animals on the farm, regardless of their intended final destination.  From the pets, to the livestock that produce milk or meat, they strive to provide the highest level of care and nutrition to those animals with the core belief that a well cared for animal will provide a superiorly nutritious product.

Profile: Our 'city slicker to farmer' journey began in 2017 with 3 baby Nigerian Dwarf goats and a desire to eventually produce healthy raw milk and cheese for our family!

Today we are excited to share the delicious and creamy milk provided by our girls with our community. We also enjoy educating and mentoring fellow farmers and homesteaders.

In addition to our ever-growing goat herd, we also raise chickens, turkeys, and honeybees. We believe that the very best food products come from healthy, happy, and stress-free animals. With this in mind, our animals are raised with a compassionate care philosophy. From the bees that share their honey, to the birds that provide meat, and the goats that provide our dairy products - everyone lives the best life we can offer!

We are proud to be the first RAWMI listed dairy in the great state of Texas and look forward to getting other Texans on board!.

They began a Farm Share in 2006, with families coming to the farm to milk the cow and raise meat and eggs for their private use. This group of individuals decided to start a non-profit organization that worked together to build the micro dairy and milk the cows. Working with Raw Milk Institute standards, they have created a healthy raw milk product. They also teach classes on how to make cheese, butter, and kefir, and have offered their acreage to members who want to begin their own projects.
