[Guest guest]

Look here for info on your state. http://www.realmilk.com/happening.html#ny

It appears that sales on farm are legal only if you are licensed and

inspected by the state and only for fluid milk.

Subject: Cow Shares in

NY state

Hello Everyone! I was informed today by a freind that

selling cow shares in NY state is illegal. I also sell homemade butter in a

small farm stand on my property and was told that also is illegal. Could anyone

out there tell me if this is true or am I okay to market my products this way?

I live in Otsego county, NY. Thank to anyone out there that can help me in this

matter.

You can become certified to sell raw milk only , no products from your farm with only on farm pickup.

You can become certified to sell raw milk cheese, pasteurized dairy products however you have to have an inspected an approved facility with appropriate equipment.

"back yard" Dairy is illegal in NY

of course they have to find you to shut you down...........................

It is not that intense to have a small raw milk cheese facility if you are familiar with dairy facilities. We have an extremely simple setup and make and sell raw milk cheese. We milk 40 goats and cannot keep up. BUT it is extremely hard work. We work for ourselves and nobody in our family works a 40 hr week!

I believe as the previous poster said that

only inspected farms may sell milk. This probably means no shares. It didn’t

say anything on Real Milk about shares. I am in Tennessee and lucky that shares

are legal. Now if I can just get the kids grown and bred I will have enough

goat milk to share. J

Knoxville about 1 & 1/2 hours drive. It is really nice here except for the

ticks.

The whole purpose of the cow share is based on private property - if

you own the cow (or part of it) you are allowed use/drink the milk

for your own purpose. The share owner is not buying milk, only

taking their share of the milk, manure and eventual beef that they

own part of. Perhaps some of the co-owners are paying one co-owner

to care for the cow, still legal.

If you co-owned a horse or a house with a non-related person would

you not also have the right to ride the horse and use the house ?

Same is being applied to the cow. The big dairy influenced "public

health protectors" don't like the idea. Check out the many raw milk

sites if they have any info on state rulings that would apply.
