Rafter 8 Market Farm Herdshare

From Our Family Farm to Your Family’s Table:
 
Experience the difference of truly fresh, pasture-raised dairy with a Rafter 8 Market Farm Herdshare. When you purchase a share of our Jersey herd, you’re joining our farm family and partnering with us in the daily care, feeding, and stewardship of these gentle, hard-working cows.
 
A herdshare gives you legal access to the milk produced by the portion of the herd you own rich, creamy, full-flavored milk the way God created it.
 
What You Receive With a Herdshare
As a shareholder, you’ll receive a weekly portion of the milk your share produces. Many families use their milk for:
Fresh drinking milk
Homemade butter, cheese, yogurt, and kefir
Cream for coffee, desserts, and recipes
Nutrient-rich cooking and baking
Every jar is filled within hours of milking, never stored long, never hauled across the country.
 
How It Works
A herdshare is simple:
Buy a Share – Your purchase makes you a partial owner of our dairy herd.
Pay a Monthly Boarding Fee – This covers the daily care, feed, milking, and stewardship of the herd.
Pick Up Your Milk Each Week – Bring your clean jars and enjoy your portion of the herd’s production.
You are not buying milk from us, you are receiving the milk produced by the cow you own a share of.
 
Why Choose a Rafter 8 Herdshare?
Pasture-Raised & Humanely Cared For – Our Jerseys are raised on fresh pasture, sunshine, and high-quality feed.
Cream-Rich, Full-Flavor Milk – Jerseys naturally produce high-butterfat milk that’s perfect for butter, cream, and cheesemaking.
Faith-Centered, Family-Run – Everything we do is rooted in our mission to glorify God, steward His creation, and bless our community.
Local & Transparent – We handle every step from pasture to jar, and you’re always welcome to ask questions or visit the farm.

Full Share – Approximately 1 gallon per week
