Raw Milk - The Jersey Barnyard

One of the things that makes MFM unique from many other markets is that we provide a raw milk pickup available to anyone! If you are not aware of the health benefits of raw milk, you can visit realmilk.com to discover how this simple switch in your diet can make a world of difference!

Before we dive into how to pre order raw milk, let's take a look at why we pre-order as opposed to just buying it at market. The current laws in Texas prohibit the sale of raw milk in retail stores or at farmers markets, which means that the only way to legally acquire it is by purchasing it directly from the farm. The internet has made this so easy! The way that MFM operates within the law and also makes things as convenient as possible for customers is that all orders are placed on the dairy's website and MFM picks up everyones products from the farm and brings them back for delivery at market.

MFM has partnered with The Jersey Barnyard out of LaGrange, TX to bring you raw milk that comes from A2A2 Jersey cows that are grass fed and finished. The quality, purity, and taste of this milk is superb! The Jersey Barnyard also sells various other goods such as butter, cheese, eggs, and grass fed/finished meat products. MFM can bring back anything that they have available, however we primarily partner with them to provide milk and dairy products as we do have our own grass fed and finished vendors of the highest caliber imaginable. We also have not vetted the Jersey Barnyard on their meat products and eggs like we have our own vendors, so we highly recommend that customers limit their Jersey Barnyard orders to only dairy products!

Grass-Fed Beef -
The Serenity Homestead

One of the cornerstone products at MFM has always been grass-fed and finished beef. Currently the Serenity Homestead, who partners with the local ranch know as Downes Natural Beef, supplies MFM customers nearly every week. Downes Natural Beef's top priority is to provide customers with quality nutrient dense beef. Because their practices mimic nature’s grazing design, their pastures have no need for chemical fertilizer or poison to control weeds. They believe that the health of their cattle is superior because they are allowed to consume forages, not grain, all year long. They do not vaccinate they're cattle because they have natural immunity to bovine diseases. They grow our cattle out slowly to increase the nutrient density of the beef which allows them to refrain from the use of antibiotics and manmade growth hormones. We realize that to produce nutrient dense beef, we must manage optimum soil health, which means using no insecticides or larvicides on our cattle. Doing so would kill the healthy microorganisms in the soil. They daily practice wise management decisions that promote healthy soil and nutrient dense forages consumed by they're cattle for optimal nutrient dense beef. They are truly the cream of the crop!
