Light Root Farm
Raw Milk Herd Shares—Now available for the 2026 Season
In Colorado you must “own” a cow to legally access raw milk. The Herd Share model allows you to buy a share or membership to a dairy cow herd from your local farmer, giving you weekly access to the raw cow’s milk produced on the farm.
As a Herd Share member you pay a set monthly boarding fee to the Farmer to care for and milk the cows in exchange for a weekly share(s) of fresh 100% grass-fed raw milk.
Members pick up milk shares weekly at our farmstand, located at 7715 Arapahoe Road, Boulder, CO.
The Farm does not offer milk share delivery.
Initial Herd Share Membership: $25/member (one time fee)
Monthly Boarding Fee (this is the cost of the milk):
$90/Full share $45/Half Share
One Full share equals 1 gallon of milk/week; Half share equals a half gallon of milk/week.
Members can purchase multiple shares in half share increments.
Milk Share Fees are paid ahead, due at the beginning of each month to reserve your share, (quarterly and annual payment options available too).
Light Root Farm’s Milk Share Program is currently open to new members. Email at lightrootfarm@gmail.com for more info. We do not keep a waitlist, but we will post availability here when we have more shares open.
