Each ewe has four shares to offer.

Each ewe is valued at an average of $400. Therefore, each share is $100.
For $20 a week, your ewe will be taken care of, and you will receive a 1/2 gallon of milk. This milk will either be fresh or frozen, depending on the season.
How is my ewe maintained?
The ewes have free access to a forage mix that is perfectly balanced to have the proper content of fat and protein: Timothy, Fescue, Rye, etcetera. The ewes receive some grain from a local farmer who grows non-gmo feed (RT Hart & Son). The ewes also have full access to a mineral buffet with 21 different essential vitamins and minerals. They receive foot trimmings at least every two months. They drink clean groundwater that has no chlorine in it. They are never isolated from the flock, and always have access to a clean, dry, barn to get away from the elements, whether it is snow or the hot sun.
If you would like to treat your furry family member with sheep's milk, this is an option that does not require owning any shares of a sheep.
Updates are always listed on the home page, and it will be in the mini fridge at the farm stand.

2x the protein
about 1/3 more energy
more of the good kinds of fats
2-3x as much essential vitamins like B6, B12, C, and D.
