We sell a variety of farm products including:

• Herd Shares It is legal in Tennessee to drink raw milk from your own animals. A herd share represents ownership of an animal or portion thereof. We sell shares for $8.00 each, refundable or renewable at the end of the milking season, plus boarding fees of $2 per week. This will generally yield 1 quart of milk or milk product equivalent per week (amount may vary depending on production). Other arrangements available upon request.

This gives you the rights to an equivalent portion of the milk the goat produces. Since you don't actually take care of the goat, buying a share helps the goat caretaker pay for obtaining a goat so there will be enough milk for the goat owner. If you own a whole goat, you would get all the milk from that goat, typically at least 5 quarts a day. Since most people don't need that much, you could split the cost of the goat with other people, each person owning one or more shares of the goat. A goat that produces 5 quarts of milk a day would provide 35 quarts a week. This means a goat could easily be owned by as many as 35 different people each holding one share, and each getting 1 quart a week without having to buy and care for the goat.
  Herd shares have the following advantages:
  1. It's Legal
  2. You don't have to take care of the goat
  3. You get priority to the available milk
  4. You can get the amount of milk you need
  5. Goats that are less productive are averaged with more productive goats, so you're not stuck with a low producing goat
  6. You know where your milk comes from
  7. You're supporting a local farmer
  8. It allows the farmer to expand their herd to meet the demand for milk

  If you buy all the shares for milk for a goat, you still don't own the whole goat. This is because goats produce more than just milk. They also produce babies every year, as well as significant quantities of manure compost.

  When obtaining raw milk, keep these things in mind. Raw milk is not homogonized, and even though goat milk is naturally homogonized, it will separate some. This is natural and is not at all harmful. Also, raw milk will last up to about a week unopened, but shelf life can be shorter if allowed to get warm, especially in small quantities. If the milk begins to smell like it is going bad, then it probably is going bad and at that point should not be consumed.
