About Herd Share

---

In the state of North Carolina, it is NOT illegal to use raw milk from your own cows. Herd shares provide the benefit of fresh milk to those who do not have the time or space to care for milk cows. Vidhi Farm sells herd shares and shareholders become part owners of our herd of cows. Shareholders pay a one-time purchase fee and a monthly boarding fee which covers the cost of feeding, boarding, milking and caring for the cows. Each shareholder receives fresh raw milk weekly in a glass  jar. 

Important note: Vidhi Farm does NOT encourage our HerdShare customers drinking raw milk. We suggest pasteurizing our milk at home before use to kill any harmful bacteria.

• Herd share requires a one-time $150 fee and a variable monthly fee of $80 per share, subject to feed cost changes. Each share provides a weekly gallon of milk. Membership necessitates signing an agreement and waiver before the first pickup.

• Pickups are in South Charlotte - Providence Rd - Exit 57 on I485 - 5-6:30 pm at Waverly.  We do not issue refunds or credits for any shares not picked up.

• Our cows are currently fed locally grown grass hay,  our pasture and Organic Soy-Free Grain

• We machine milk  our cows. ensuring the milk stays clean and fresh. The machine is sanitized after each use with industry-standard solutions. We deep clean the equipment twice weekly and regularly send milk samples for analysis to manage herd health.

• Our herd is health tested annually and is disease free. Specifically we test our cows for BVD/BLV/Johne's.
