How do I get cream off of my raw milk?

Pour milk into a pitcher or container with a large neck opening. Set in refrigerator, undisturbed, for 24-48 hours for cream to rise to the top. Skim it off with a ladle, spoon, fat separator (~$30). Once the cream is removed, you'll see the milk looks less ivory & almost blue-ish.

Still curious about our milk?

Is the milk still good if there are bits of cream floating?

As long as the milk smells like fresh milk, it’s good! The cream (fat) will solidify & break into pieces in cold temperature after a few days. If this does not look appealing, you can skim off the cream & use in hot coffee or soup!

Is the milk free of hormones?

We don’t use hormones for milk production, and dairies don’t use growth hormone anymore anyways. (In ALL milk, there is some minute level of naturally-occuring growth hormone, but that has no effect on humans whatsoever.)

Is your milk tested?

Our cows are checked thoroughly at every milking, and also our milk is tested by a state inspector every several weeks.
