[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]]As per Florida law, raw milk sales for human consumption are illegal. The state permits raw milk sales for animal consumption only. Therefore, all our raw dairy products state that they are for animal consumption only. This does not at all impact the high quality of our dairy products.
We hold a Florida Master Feed License #Z004056.
Raw milk sales for human consumption are illegal. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services interprets the definition of “sell” in the state administrative code to extend the ban on raw milk sales to any cowshare agreements as well.
Department of Agriculture policy permits the sale of raw milk for animal consumption even though there is no state law that covers this issue. The state permits raw milk sales for animal consumption either on the farm or in retail stores. Containers should have a label clearly stating that the raw milk is for animal consumption only.

5D-1.001 Documents Incorporated by Reference and Definitions(j) “Sold” means a transfer of milk or milk products that involves any direct or indirect form of compensation in exchange for the right to acquire such milk or milk products.
Additionally, because our eggs are not washed and packaged in an approved USDA facility, Florida law requires that we label them “for pet consumption only.” This does not diminish he quality of the eggs we package for you!
Here at the farm, we consume our dairy and egg products daily!
