This is a FREE event, but we ask that you consider financially supporting our work.
Fresh, raw milk is a controversial food. In fact, it’s illegal to buy outright in the state of Virginia. Some say it can be a vector for disease, while others sing it’s praises as a nutrient dense whole food. Are you convinced of it’s many benefits? Are you thinking of getting a milk cow of your own?
Learn practical tips on animal care, milking, and more. Join us on Tuesday, April 16 (6-8pm) at Mountain Run Farm (showbarn) for our monthly Land & Table potluck, and get a crash course on the nuances of the family milk cow. We will have a milking demonstration for those who want to walk from the showbarn to the milking barn.
If you are NOT interested in owning a milk cow yourself but still want access to fresh, raw milk, we will also discuss legal, local herdshare options in the Lynchburg, Virginia region.
