How are the cows milked at Real Milk Farm?
The cows are milked in the dairy barn after the goats, at 7:00 a.m. and at 5:00 p.m. Please note that the cows are milked with a separate machine from the goats; and that their milk is kept separate from the goats’ milk. Our cows are milked using a closed-bucket system. That is, the milk is drawn from the cow’s udder using a suction device and a set of tubes that empty the milk into a sealed stainless steel container. Since there is no exposure to air at any point, the most scrupulous level of sanitation is assured.
