The First Raw Milk Cartons!
After six months of effort, delays, challenges, set backs and two trips to Chicago (whew!), we are thrilled to announce that we have completed the process of setting up our new-to-us Carton Filler.
Creambrook Farm is the first raw milk dairy to fill Milk Cartons in the US.
We couldn't be more excited to bring this new environmentally sustainable packaging to you, our wonderful Herd Share members!
What are the perks of switching to milk cartons?
More Environmentally-Friendly Packaging – a half gallon milk carton is 90% LESS plastic than their plastic jug counterparts. The cartons are BPA and PFAS free and recyclable.
Streamlining & Standardization – moving all of our herd shares to half gallons means less confusion in members accidentally grabbing the wrong size when picking up herd shares at pick up locations
Increased Shelf-Life – Raw Milk stays fresh when exposure to oxygen is lessened. Storing raw milk in half gallons means your raw milk will last longer than in Gallon jugs
Plastic Twist Cap – parents especially love twist caps when little hands mistakenly drop milk jugs on the floor!
Better Storage Efficiency – A milk crate can hold 9 half gallons (4.5 gal volume) or 4 gallons, so we can fit an extra half gallon volume into every milk crate. This will also benefit by maximizing capacity at pick up locations and your home fridge, giving us the ability to fit more milk per square inch.
The friendly photo of our cow to greet you — enjoy the farm-designed carton that is fun to read and learn more about Creambrook Farm. Plus, once you’re finished enjoying your raw milk, your children can rinse and reuse the cartons and turn them into boats, airplanes, or any kind of “carton crafts” as we call it:)
