🆕 First time ordering? If you want 900ml of milk, add 900ml of milk + 1 jar to your order. 🔁 Ongoing customers: Just return the jar at pickup and reorder only the milk. 🍶 Need extra milk later? Add more jars as needed—each jar is a one-time investment in our refill system.
Raw milk is alive and naturally probiotic. With proper care, it stays fresh for 7–21 days and transitions safely into a sour, cultured state (called clabber) rather than spoiling like processed milk. You’ll receive storage and safety tips with your first order—and we’re always here to answer questions.
