UPDATE 5/8/13:





AT THIS TIME, STEVE HAS MADE THE DECISION THAT HE IS UNABLE TO RESUME SELLING RAW MILK AT THE CAPACITY HE WAS BEFORE. HIS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY RIGHT NOW IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS ENOUGH FEED FOR THE WINTER, WHICH THERE WASN'T THIS YEAR. THAT MEANS THAT MUCH OF HIS TIME WILL BE SPENT DOING MORE FIELD WORK. IT ALSO WAS A HUGE EXPENDITURE OF TIME AND ENERGY AND TRUTHFULLY, HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE STAMINA FOR THAT PACE ANYMORE. HE IS CURRENTLY SELLING A VERY LIMITED QUANTITY OF MILK TO A FEW FOLKS AND THERE ARE NO MORE OPENINGS. IF FOR ANY REASON, THINGS CHANGE AND HE DECIDES TO OPEN IT UP AGAIN, WE WILL POST THAT INFORMATION.



THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.



-STEVE AND HOPE

2012 Monthly Milk Schedule


Please see calendar to the right for this month's milk sale schedule. The dates that are highlighted in RED are the days that Steve is selling milk. Please remember that weekdays are 2-5pm and Saturdays are 2-4pm.  As the number of customers increase, so does the waiting time for many folks. If you plan on getting a large quantity of milk (over 8 gallons), please let Steve know ahead of time to see if he can accommodate you on a different day. Also, please try to be as prompt as possible since after selling milk, Steve starts right in with the evening milking and chores. AS STATED ABOVE,  STEVE WILL STOP SELLING RAW MILK AS OF SEPT.2ND WITH SEPT. 1ST BEING THE LAST SALE DAY. HE WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO START UP AGAIN UNTIL SPRING 2013. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT OTHER RAW MILK VENDORS AND ALL WE CAN SAY IS TO CHECK REALMILK.COM TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY IN THE AREA.  Here is a link to a piece that Karen Miltner, milk customer and food writer for the D and C wrote: http://blogs.democratandchronicle.com/her-staff/?p=4641  As always,thank you for your patience and your patronage!

  1. I am excited to see so many people are learning about all the benefits of raw milk and coming to Galens Homestead Acres to get this amazing milk. Is there any way we could post some suggestions to make it easier on Steve and the waiting customers? Things like please bring containers with a wide mouth opening, as it is challenging and time consuming to fill these small opening containers. I would think if all customers used wide opened containers then Steve could dispense the milk easier and quicker and would alleviate him having to stay longer than the alloted hours on some busy days. Let's have some consideration for this amazing farmer who gives so much to us!!!

  2. I would love to hear what other customers are doing with their Galen's milk! (Besides the obvious...drinking it!). Yogurt? Cheesemaking? Favorite recipes?

  3. I have only been three times so far, but I've made cream soups, butter, kefir, chocolate pudding (YUMMMMMMMM!), and am going to try making some milk soap this week. (I have been unable to tolerate dairy much of my life so this is a whole new world for me!)

  4. I would like to purchase Butter or even better...Clarified Butter (Ghee)
    I live in Toronto Canada and require about 500 lbs of Clarified butter every month.
