Welcome to St. John Creamery!
We sell
clean, pure, whole, raw milk from our herd of grass fed Oberhasli dairy goats.
This week Marlene's, TruHealth, EMilkman and Ballard Market will have milk!
Are you wondering, "Where's My Milk?"
Between girls being pregnant and transitioning from grain to 100% grass and brush feed, our milk production has been cut in half. Our goats should start having babies in December and January, which will bring milk levels back to normal by February or March, 2012.
We have stopped selling to many of our stores, in favor of providing our milk at wholesale prices, direct to you for $9.00 per 1/2 gallon and $2.75 per pint.
You can purchase milk off our farm, which is in Lake Stevens at 8431 30th Street SE. If that's too far, we can also set up a private drop in your neighborhood! Based on production, milk will sometimes be available at:
Marlene's Market & Deli
Madison Central Market
Sno Isle Co-op
Call farm owner Marcia St. John at 206-909-5055 for more information. |
Fun Facts:
- Oberhaslis are rare in the United
States. Originating in Switzerland, they are a winsome and affectionate
breed - even the boys are docile and easy to manage.
- We are in the midst of transitioning to
a grass fed dairy. In order to provide all the nutrients the goats need
to produce the highest quality milk, we must have lively, healthy soil,
and a diverse blend of legumes and grasses. The process takes about three
years.
- We have applied for organic
certification on our pasture land, but have opted not to for our herd.
Because we have some of the best Oberhasli genetics in the country, and
our goats are family, we will use antibiotics to save a life if
necessary.
