Two Sons & A Milk Cow

From Our Family Farm to Your Family

Two Sons & A Milk Cow started with something simple: our family wanting to know where our food came from and wanting to provide our children with fresh, locally produced food we could feel good about.

What began with our two sons and a family milk cow has grown into an opportunity to share the farm lifestyle we love with other local families.

Nestled in the hills of East Tennessee, we're raising our family, caring for our animals, and getting back to a simpler way of doing things.

Know your farmer. Know your food.

Our Herd Share Program

Our herd-share program gives local families the opportunity to become members of our farm and share in the milk produced by our dairy cows.

Rather than purchasing milk at a traditional retail store, herd-share members purchase an ownership interest in the herd and pay an ongoing boarding and care fee associated with maintaining their share.

Members then receive their portion of the milk produced by the herd according to their membership agreement.

Fresh from the farm. From cows you can actually know.

Know Your Farmer. Know Your Food.

There is something special about knowing exactly where your food comes from.

When you become part of Two Sons & A Milk Cow, you aren't dealing with a large dairy operation. You're working directly with the family feeding the cows, maintaining the pasture, cleaning the equipment, milking the animals, and caring for them every day.

We welcome our members to learn more about our farm, our cows, and how their food is produced.

  • We want our herd-share program to remain simple, personal, and transparent.

    Members can expect:

    • Locally produced milk from our dairy herd

    • A direct relationship with the family caring for the cows

    • Scheduled farm pickup

    • Clear communication regarding milk availability and pickup

    • A small-family-farm experience rather than commercial-scale production

    Because milk production naturally varies, availability may change throughout the year.

  • Our farm is home to more than just our dairy cows. It's where we're raising our two sons and building a family-centered farming lifestyle in the beautiful hills of East Tennessee.

    Two Sons & A Milk Cow and Pasture to Plate share the same mission:

    To connect local families with locally raised food while bringing back the relationship between the farmer and the people sitting around the dinner table.

How Our Herd Share Works

  • Become a member by purchasing a share in our dairy herd and signing our herd-share agreement. Your membership gives you an ownership interest in the herd and allows you to receive a portion of the milk produced.

  • We handle the everyday work of caring for the herd, including feeding, pasture management, milking, cleaning, and maintaining the health and comfort of our cows.

    Our goal is simple: healthy cows, responsibly cared for on our family farm.

  • Members receive their allotted portion of fresh milk based on their herd-share membership. Milk is provided on scheduled pickup days so you know when your family's share will be ready.

    From our cows to your family — it really is that simple.

An Important Note About Raw Milk

Because raw milk is not pasteurized, it can contain harmful bacteria and other germs that may cause serious foodborne illness.

Pasteurization is designed to kill disease-causing germs and does not eliminate milk's major nutritional benefits.

People who are pregnant, young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at greater risk of serious illness from contaminated raw milk.

We encourage every family to educate themselves about both the potential benefits and risks of consuming raw milk and make the decision that is right for their household.
