Reality Farm, Inc.
Dairy
Unpasteurized, non-homogenized milk from our grass-fed Jersey cows contains a high
quantity of vital nutrients with many beneficial health effects.



















In Virginia, raw milk is available to consumers who enter into cow share agreements with
their farmer.  Owners purchase a share of a cow or goat from Reality Farm, Inc. and pay a
weekly fee per gallon for boarding, caring for, and milking their animal. They then obtain
their milk at drop-points throughout Northern Virginia, including Reston, Front Royal,
Leesburg, Vienna, Manassas, and Falls Church.  Check our Current Availability!















Our milking station is clean and sanitary.  Our herd is free of diseases.  Glass half-gallon
milk jugs are washed in extremely hot water in a dish washer prior to being filled.  















The milking equipment is flushed and cleaned with a strong bleach solution to maintain the
highest standard of raw milk for our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Raw Milk

Raw fresh cow milk is available through the purchase of shares in our dairy herd, whereby
shareholders own a percentage of the cow herd and consume the products of the herd.

How do shares work?  
You purchase a share in the dairy cow herd and pay a monthly boarding fee for the farmer to
care for and milk the cows. You sign a legal boarding agreement and pay the boarding fee.  
Quarterly or monthly payments are available.

What does a share cost?
Each share of the herd costs $25.00. Partial shares are available.  This is a one-time, non
refundable purchase price.

The boarding fees are $7.00 per week, per gallon.  

The monthly boarding fee is calculated by the number of weeks in a given month.  For
example, if you purchase a full milk share and your pickup day is Wednesday, and there are
four Wednesdays in that month, then your boarding fee for that month would be
$7.00 x  4 weeks = $28.00.

Partial shares are available and the boarding fees are prorated accordingly. Boarding fee
prices are subject to change, given changes in the price of feed, hay, supplies, labor, etc.

What do I get for my share?  
A full milk share will provide one gallon of milk per week stored in half-gallon glass mason
jars. There is a fee for the jars upon signing the contract.  Milk production is year round.

What happens if I go on vacation or business travel? Am I still responsible for the
boarding fee?
Yes, the monthly boarding fee is still due.  The animals must be fed, milked, and cared for
every week.  Arrangements for travel may be made on a case-by-case basis, with advanced
notice and only under special circumstances.  

What else is required of me?
Empty jars should be cleaned and returned each week.
