There's a first time for everything! Before filling out our waitlist form, please visit a reputable raw dairy farm to have your first experience directly from the source (we are obviously biased to Stryk Jersey Farm). After doing so, if you'd like to access it through our service, feel free to fill out our form and we will be in touch.

We provide this service for folks who have raw milk as a part of their family's regular diet and want to protect and preserve their access to it by requiring folks to try it before they get it from us.

We love to share knowledge about this super food with those wanting to learn! While we slowly add helpful information to this website via our resource and recipes vaults, we highly recommend the following resources to learn more about raw dairy and much more:

• A Campaign for Real Milk
• Weston A. Price Foundation
• Homegrown Education's Raw Dairy Guide (FREE)
• Plan a trip to visit Stryk Jersey Farm or Whitehurst Farm to see for yourself where your food is coming from! Contact the farmers ahed of time to arrange this, if desired!

Once welcomed as a member, you will be sent a restock email for your chosen location every other Monday. This email will direct you to an ordering page which you may place your order from for pickup on that upcoming Sunday.

Our Houston and Tomball locations are conveniently provided by what we like to call 'host homes'. These host homes are the driveways or porches of amazing people who have generously offered them for you to collect your goodies from.

The Cypress location is hosted by Season's Harvest Cafe. Their restaurant and farm are closed on pickup days, but their stocked farm store, Seed Sowers, is open for you to shop when you collect your order from us.

The Jersey Village location is temporarily provided via a host home while we wait for Good Things Natural Health to open their storefront where you will be able to shop from when you collect your order from us.

We've got a schedule to stick to. You gotta come and grab your orders during the specific times we mentioned above, no messing around. If you're not on time and don't pick up your goods by the cutoff, we'll be passing them along to those who need 'em more than you. Sorry, no refunds on any milk orders if ya miss out! All other purchased items will be refunded with a 50% restock fee charged of the item's cost.

In the event that our driver happens to be ahead of schedule, we will promptly inform our members via text and email that they have the option to pick up their items slightly earlier than originally planned. It is important to note that the cut-off time remains unchanged.

The specific address for pick up will only be disclosed to our active members who are engaged with us on the day of pick up via having placed an order. We will personally notify these members through both text and email.

Sometimes people forget things or have unexpected emergencies. If the time frames listed above just don't jive with your schedule, it's probably best not to join as a member or place an order with us in the first place. But hey, we get it! Life happens. If you do end up ordering and then realize you can't swing by to pick it up, no worries! Just give your buddy or family member a ring and they can grab it for you, as long as they follow our trusty instructions that you forward to them.

In case you go MIA and don't bother to drop us a line when the pickup time is up, your milk order magically transforms into a generous donation and no refunds are possible - zero exceptions! All other purchased items will be refunded with a 50% restock fee charged of the item's cost. We're pretty strict around here!

We're glad you asked, yes. Our hosts kindly allow us to use their space for pick up purposes. It's essential that we always respect their wishes. Once you become a member, we will send you specific instructions for your pickup location (included in those texts and emails the morning of pick up). We kindly ask that you carefully read and adhere to these instructions in order to show your respect. Remember, if we fail to respect their wishes, we risk losing our pickup locations!

In all locations, customers are obliged to initial on our provided clipboard sign-off sheet as a signal that their order has been collected.

Products are replenished every other Monday for each location, and an email is sent to all active members as a notification to place their order. Kindly refrain from placing your order unless you have received and dutifully gone through the most recent restock email.

Additionally, on Wednesdays, all members are sent a reminder text to place their order. Simply follow the instructions in your restock email to place your order.

To make sure we got your order, just take a peek in your email for an order confirmation. If you don't spot it, you probably didn't complete your order, and we don't have it.

Being part of the crew means keeping that membership active. If you are a paid member, you can order as infrequently as you desire, If you are an unpaid member, all you gotta do is place at least one order each month (according to the order date, not when it's time to pick it up). There are no purchase amount minimums for any members, with the exception of placing meat/broth orders directly with Whitehurst Farm for our Houston and Tomball locations, should you choose to place an order with them.

We hate making people linger on our waitlist, so this system really comes to the rescue!

We make every effort to avoid this through friendly reminders sent via email and text, but it still happens.

If you haven't ordered your milk and it's Thursday or later during your order week, we keep milk stocked until Friday evening if we haven't reached our limit. Milk listing will say "All claimed!" if it's all been spoken for/it's past Friday evening.

On Friday evenings, we initiate the process of preparing pickup printouts and notes for our driver, etc. which cannot be modified. Additionally, please note that you will not be able to order any other farm fresh products (like Dapper Goat Dairy goat cheese and raw milk or Whitehurst Farm orders) after Wednesday, as the farmers need sufficient time to prepare them for you.

Maintaining open lines of communication is essential in situations like these. We understand that unexpected things can arise, and we are here to offer assistance. If you experience an emergency, please contact us promptly, and we will make every effort to accommodate your pickup needs. Additionally, we kindly request that you try your best to arrange for someone else to retrieve your items during our regular pickup times whenever feasible.

Everything we currently offer is available for you to see on our Products Page. We are always looking for ways to provide incredible products for you. At this time, cream isn't offered consistently enough by Stryk Dairy for us to offer it on a regular basis. If it's available, we will simply offer it as an add-on during pickup (we'll put a sign up in this event).

Fresh sourdough bread is something we used to offer homemade by yours truly, but with four kiddos in the house, it's tough to make that feasible right now.

When we have additional items available, active members are the first to know!

When the time comes to procure your coveted raw milk, we ensure that the process is nothing short of refined. The first step involves delicately withdrawing the raw milk from a spacious walk-in cooler at the dairy. Subsequently, it is meticulously transferred to an expansive ice chest situated on a flatbed trailer - rest assured, our collection of ice chests is truly exceptional. To further preserve its pristine state, the milk is graced with a final layer of fresh ice and sealed securely. Without delay, these artfully assembled coolers embark on their journey from the dairy to the designated pickup location(s), where they eagerly await your arrival on the designated date and time.

We eagerly anticipate the arrival of the fabulous Dapper Goat Dairy products each pickup week. During the current pickup week, they magically appear on Saturdays, chilling out in the refrigerator until it's time to hit the road. When that day arrives, they cozy up to their milk buddies in a cooler filled with ice, ready to embark on their delivery journey!

If it's a designated pickup week for Houston or Tomball, we love to swing by Whitehurst Farm and snag your orders of their eggs, produce, and meat in the morning before making the deliveries. We handle them with care, leaving them with you exactly how they pack 'em. If you have placed a Whitehurst order, please pickup your order as early as possible as frozen meat may thaw/produce may wilt and is not kept in coolers, unless possible due to space.

• For optimal transportation of your milk to the refrigerator, we advise to have a cooler and ice packs on hand to maintain the proper temperature
• To help maintain the freshness and quality of the milk, consider transferring milk from plastic jugs to tightly sealed glass jars
• Store milk in a refrigerator at temps 39 degrees and below, too cold will freeze your milk & too warm will sour milk quicker
• Position the milk at the back of your fridge for maximum coolness upon door opening (avoid storing it in the doors, especially) & minimize the frequency of door openings
• Proper milk storage involves avoiding leaving gallons out at room temperature, we recommended you place unused milk directly back into the refrigerator if it is not being used
• To freeze milk, leave room for expansion to prevent jugs or jars from exploding; thawed milk may separate but it freezes relatively well; remember fresh is best!
• Don't chuck that funky milk! If it's only slightly soured, whip up some delightful baked goods or add it to your cooking for a tangy twist. But beware, if it's overly soured, it might not tickle your taste buds. Remember though, raw milk never truly spoils; it simply becomes a bit puckery. You can even share it with your four-legged pals or give your plants a thirst-quenching treat by watering them with some diluted milk.

We have found that when properly stored, this milk can last for up to 6 weeks. Following the above instructions should ensure that your milk lasts for at least 2 weeks.

If you do the following, you'll be good to go:

1. Keep your payment type active if you're a paid member. If you're not a paid member, place at least one order each month.
2. Read current restock email updates BEFORE placing your order each pickup week.
3. Pick up your order within the provided time frame and follow host home requests including respecting pick up times provided. Set your own reminder if the email and texts are not reminder enough for you.
4. Confirm you are receiving text notifications and emails. Notify us ASAP if you are not receiving communications as an active member.
5. Remember to log-in to your account to place your order, checking out as a guest or with a different email address will result in your order being refunded with a restock fee applied if we don't recognize you as an active member.
6. Place only ONE order per pickup period. Contact us if you need to change your existing order, please don't place more than one order in any given pickup week as it confuses our records.

It's that easy!
