The Cowford In The Raw

At The Cowford In The Raw, we are a family-run dairy farm dedicated to producing high-quality, nutrient-rich A2A2 Jersey cow milk.

Our cows are organically & pasture-raised and cared for with intention, allowing us to provide milk in its most natural, wholesome form. We focus on transparency, sustainability, and community—bringing farm-fresh products straight to families who value real food, straight from the source. (not for human consumption)

From the farmer

Hi! We are the Armstrongs! Beau, Julie, Ily Fae and Tyndale here!

We relocated to Lawtey, Florida from Fort Worth, Texas (AKA Cowtown) in December of 2021 and quickly found friends of plenty who share similar interests and ideas. While Beau works from home for a flatbed freight company, Julie homeschools their two daughters, 7 & 10 years of age.

While farming is "newish" to us, there is a great family background story.

In 1909, Beau's family bought 7,000 head of Jersey cattle from Richard King and Mifflin Kenedy of "King Ranch" and executed a company called "Falfurrias Butter" in Falfurrias, Texas. The mascot of the Falfurrias school district today is called the "Falfurrias Jerseys" which because of Beau's family who at one time, owned the largest Jersey herd in the entire world.

So long story short, it's safe to say that raising Jerseys is imbedded deep in our blood. And although we never want to be a commercial dairy,... we are happy to bring raw, unprocessed milk to our customers in North Central Florida.
