New-Spring-Chicks... Cuteness overload! :).jpeg

Spring Chicks Photo Story​

Just Imagine!

What if you'd wake up on The Family Cow farm some chilly but sunny morning in March?

What if we'd allow you to tag along with our chicken manager, Marlin Charles, as he expertly starts our first 600 chicks for the year? You'd go with Marlin every step of the way... picking the chicks up at the post office, settling them safely into their cozy brooder and helping them each find their first feed and water.

In this photo tour through Marlin's eyes, you get a peek into a typical 'new-chicks-morning.' And for those of you who only know Marlin as your delivery driver... you'll get to see the farmer side of Marlin too. He's our experienced pastured chicken manager and we are honored to have him on our team.

Remember, The Family Cow drivers are not just 'drivers.' They are Farmers first of all!

It's all yours Marlin!

Show them how you do it. :)

Nutrition Facts and the Bikini Atoll

One question we hear is, "Why are the Nutrition Facts on raw milk so similar to the Nutrition Facts on pasteurized milk?" The similarity of the two ‘Nutrition Facts’ would seem to support the FDA mantra that there are no nutritional differences between pasteurized milk and raw milk.
