Our raw goat milk subscriptions operate on a monthly advance-payment system. Subscriptions allow us to responsibly plan feed, labor, and herd care while providing consistent access for our customers.

Because milk production depends on animal health, weather, and seasonal factors, the following policies ensure fairness and sustainability.

Milk Quality & Standards

We take pride in producing clean, high-quality raw goat milk using careful milking, handling, and storage practices.

Little Acres Farm is Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI) listed, meaning we follow sanitation protocols and routine testing standards widely regarded as the gold standard for raw milk production.

Subscription Terms

Subscriptions reserve a portion of our monthly milk supply.

Subscriptions are monthly and paid in advance

Invoices are sent on the 1st of each month

Subscription price: $10 per ½ gallon

Walk-in price (if available): $12 per ½ gallon

Subscriptions renew monthly unless canceled before the next billing cycle

Subscriptions cannot be paused, skipped, or held once the month begins

Milk Priority

Households with infants who rely on raw milk receive first priority.

If supply is limited, milk is fulfilled in this order:

Infant households

Active subscribers

Walk-in customers (if milk remains)

Pickup Policy

Milk must be picked up during designated pickup times.

Milk must be picked up within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup day

Customers may send someone else to pick up their milk

Missed pickups are forfeited and do not roll over

Once milk leaves our care, Little Acres Farm is not responsible for handling or storage.

Jars, Handling & Storage

Milk is sold in ½-gallon glass mason jars.

Jar and lid fee: $5 one-time per jar

If you bring your own clean ½-gallon mason jar and lid, you may exchange it and the $5 fee will be waived

Returned jars must be clean, washed, and fully dried

Dirty jars incur a $3 cleaning fee

Lost or unreturned jars require a $5 replacement fee

Frozen milk, when available, is sold in quart-size freezer bags, which freeze and thaw best. Goat milk has naturally smaller fat globules and a uniform structure, so it maintains its texture and flavor after freezing.

Lay bags flat while freezing for easier storage and faster thawing

Thaw slowly in the refrigerator

Gently shake or swirl after thawing to recombine the cream

Proper Handling & Transport

Raw milk should be kept cold at all times. Customers are responsible for proper handling once milk leaves Little Acres Farm.

Bring a cooler or insulated bag when picking up milk

Milk should be refrigerated as soon as possible at 34–38°F

Keep milk out of direct sunlight and heat

Always use clean jars and lids

Little Acres Farm is not responsible for milk quality once it leaves our care.

Refund Policy

Due to the perishable nature of raw milk, no refunds or credits are given for missed pickups, schedule conflicts, or unused milk.
