Jersey Girls Dairy has been our weekly "fix" for the very best in nutritious, healthy, delicious REAL milk and dairy products for over 6 years now. The cows are almost members of the family! We have watched many of them grow from newborn calves of just a few days old to "teenager" girls of about 8 months to a year and a half old, to young ladies at about 20 months to new moms at about 2 1/2 year olds. The foundation milk cows used to begin this dairy farm were shown, judged and won many blue ribbons and awards for excellence throughout the area and the state. These cows are never shot full of growth hormones nor any of the toxic substances to force higher milk production. These cows are totally free range on acres and acres of natural pasture land that is not contaminated with chemical fertilizer or chemical weed killers. While the cows are given a very small amount of sweet feed in their milk area as a treat for being in the milking stall twice a day, they are not fed on anything to force growth or milk production - which is why they give such amazing milk. The owners are people of conscience and have an abiding concern and care for their herd. This is their livelihood and their passion. I have been an advocate and consumer of raw milk and raw milk products for most of my 68 years and this dairy provides me with the best quality, best tasting milk, yogurt and cheeses of any that I've tried. I highly recommend Jersey Girl Milk Company and suggest that, if you demand quality, you check...

If you go after the store’s manned hours (which I think is until noon most days), be prepared to check out and pay on the honor system. There are cameras, so no stealing! If you have questions or requests, you have to either go in the morning when there is someone who can help you, or leave a message on their answering machine. They respond to voicemails usually by the next business day, and they will do what they can to fulfill any special requests.
As for the products, their chocolate milk is phenomenal. I love the yogurts and cheeses. Of course, when you’re starting with a superior base product, it’s hard to go wrong. And having access to duck eggs is awesome!
Plus, they have local people that also sell in their shop - fresh bread, homemade soaps and lotions, locally grown veggies, etc. I think the tamales are also from an outside supplier, and are...
Read moreI have been consuming raw milk for about 15 years and never had an incident. This Christmas break my son suffered from severe gastrointestinal distress that nearly hospitalized him and the labs from the pediatrician indicated Campylobactera. Due to the break he had exposure to no other sources and the symptoms occurred around the time period we introduced this as a new food into his diet. I reached out to Jersey Girls and they never bothered to respond. I will be looking for a new raw milk supplier since they are obviously not testing enough for Campylobactera or deciding to sell milk with a high "Under limit" count. If you ferment it into kefir you're probably fine, but introducing this as first time raw milk, and if you suspect gut dysbiosis I would do so with strong caution, especially since they did not to my...
