Raw A2/A2 milk from Covenant Pastures in Cylinder, Iowa
Our raw milk comes from our own pastured cows on the edge of Cylinder. It's A2/A2, tested, and bottled in glass on the farm, which makes it considerably fresher than milk that goes to a bottling facility before it reaches a store.

Raw milk doesn't go "bad" like pasteurized milk. It will eventually sour as it ages, so you probably wouldn't want to drink it plain, but you can still use it in recipes.
Every cow is cleaned with an iodine-based pre-dip, and we check udder health regularly with a California Mastitis Test. The milk is cooled within a minute, strained through ultra-fine cheesecloth, bottled in sanitized glass jars and chilled to about 35°F.
