Raw Dairy Program | Lucas Organic Farms
At Lucas Organic Farms, we are committed to providing clean, responsibly produced raw dairy to families who value real, unprocessed food.
Because of Ohio regulations, our raw dairy is offered through a Private Membership Association (PMA) structure and/or labeled pet food options to ensure legal compliance while maintaining access to the same high-quality products.
What is a PMA?
A Private Membership Association (PMA) allows individuals to obtain raw dairy directly from the farm by becoming part of a private membership.
Instead of purchasing milk in a traditional retail setting, members are:
Supporting the farm directly
Gaining access to raw dairy products
Participating in a private, member-based food system
This model helps preserve your ability to access real, farm-fresh dairy while staying within current regulations.
Our Raw Dairy
Our dairy comes from pasture-raised Jersey cows, known for their rich, nutrient-dense milk.
We focus on:
Clean milking practices
Proper handling and storage
Healthy, well-cared-for animals
Consistent quality you can trust
Available products include:
Whole raw milk
Low-fat raw milk
Raw chocolate milk
Cream
Butter
Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Buttermilk
(All products are handled with care from our farm to your pickup.)
Membership Options (PMA)
We offer a Private Membership Association (PMA) option for customers who want ongoing access and added benefits.
Lucas Organic Farms PMA Membership:
Annual Membership: $35/year
Provides access to raw dairy through our private membership structure
Includes exclusive member pricing benefits, such as:
$1 off freeze-dried foods, jams, jellies, syrup, honey, tallow products
$1 off per dozen eggs
$0.50 off per pound of beef
Membership may be used:
For dairy pickup as needed
Or on a subscription basis, where you can combine products and quantities into a custom weekly order that is paid once per month and available for pickup on your designated pickup day
👉 You can sign up directly on our website to become a member and get started.
Two Labeling Options (Important)
To comply with Ohio regulations, our raw dairy may be offered under different labeling structures:
Private Membership (PMA)
Pet Food Labeling (Not for Human Consumption)
👉 Important:
Both options come from the same milk, same cows, and same handling process—the difference is strictly in labeling to comply with current laws.
