Elijah's Farm LLC

We sell A2/A2 all-grass milk for $14/gallon and pastured milk (some grain at milking) for $10/gallon.

We deliver around the St. Louis area on Mondays and Fridays.

If you would like to start purchasing milk, let me know what location works for you, what kind of milk you would like, and how much.  Most customers have a weekly order, but you can also be an on-demand customer. If you would like a text when the milk is ready for pickup, please send me your mobile number.

About our farm

Our cows live on pasture 24/7; they only come into the barn for milking. 
Our pastures would be considered "organic"; we don't use fertilizers or pesticides. 
At milking time our A2 cows are fed silage, hay, NON-GMO timothy grass pellets, or fresh cut grass.
Our A1 cows do get a scoop of grain at milking time.  The grain is from our local feed store and probably contains GMO grains.
Currently we give free choice mineral (non-medicated) which we get from a feed store;

We milk the cows three at time in our barn.  We have a concrete floor for easier cleanup, and we use
bucket milkers with inline filters.  We break apart our buckets and milking equipment and wash the
whole system by hand after every milking, down to the smallest part.  We do this to maintain cleanliness
and eliminate the need for harsh acidic cleaners. We wash the cow's teats before milking, and milk into
the clean bucket which is equipped with the inline filter.  This means the milk is filtered before it
even goes into the bucket.  We pour the milk from the buckets into a stainless steel pot, and from there
into 1/2 gallon canning jars.  The jars are marked on the lid with the customer's name and the date of
the milking (7A would designate the 7th day of the month, the A.M. milking.  7P would be the same
day, P.M. milking).  Our customers are responsible for returning the jars clean and ready for
filling.  After the milk is jarred, we put it into an ice bath to cool, and we keep the milk in an ice bath
until delivery, refreshing the ice as needed.  On delivery day, we pack the jars in coolers and top off
with ice, and bring it to different drop off points along I-44 and around St. Louis.

We do not give any hormones or vaccines to our cows, and only use antibiotics when absolutely necessary to save the cow's life and we then take her off the milk line (i.e. we dry her out).

Where we deliver and when:
All drops are cooler drops unless otherwise designated.
Customers should pick up milk the same day from a cooler drop; fridge drops have more flexibility for
pickup.

If you are going on vacation, or experiencing illness in the family, just email me and let him know if you need to cancel or reduce your order for that delivery.
You can also order extra if you have company coming.  Most of our customers have a
weekly standing order and let us know if there's a change.  We also accept "on demand"
customers who only get milk when they notify us.

Jars
Please return your jars each week clean and ready for more milk.  Remember especially to
clean around the rim and around the seal on the lid.  If you haven't had time to dry your
jar completely, just put a paper towel inside before sealing to absorb any extra moisture.

Cream
We do sell cream when available. 
The cream is super thick and will make any recipe you have absolutely incredible. 
It is very close to what they call in Europe, double cream.
It is around 70% fat, vs the 38% fat found here in the U.S.
We sell it for $18/quart A2/A2 and $15/quart regular.  It will make 1.2 pounds of butter.
We currently have cream available.

Payment
We prefer that customers pay monthly and by check to cut down on paperwork and to make it easier to track payments.
But we do accept weekly and cash payments if that is the customer's preferred method.
