In Virginia, the law prohibits the sale of raw milk. However, farmers have come up with a cool way to legally circumvent these restrictions. You can rent a share of their cow community, which makes you a bit of a farmer, and allows you to get raw milk every week from technically your own cow, in an amount proportional to that share. One “share” costs $40 a year and $40 a month and allows you to receive a gallon of milk every week. Thus, 52 gallons amount to $520, or approximately $10 per gallon – but that’s only if you don’t get lazy and go pick up your share throughout the year. Indeed, there is also delivery (additional $7). You also need to return washed bottles and caps, or be ready to pay for them separately (about $3). At the store, pasteurized/sterilized milk (no other kind available) costs about $6.
As regular customers, we were offered this today at the farmer’s market 🙂
