Headed Out For Spring Break? Here's Some Ideas To Use Up Your Raw Milk

I know what it takes to commit to getting raw milk for your family—especially when life is busy.

It’s not always convenient, but you do it because you care deeply about what goes into your kids’ bodies.

You’re not just buying milk—you’re choosing real nourishment, from a source you can trust. And I want you to know, I see and appreciate the effort you make. 

With spring break around the corner, many families are traveling—and I’ve had a few of you ask, “What should I do with my milk if we’re going to be gone?”

Since our farm depends on consistent weekly orders to care for our cows and serve all families well, we ask that you stick to your regular order, even while you're away.

But don’t worry—I’ve got your back.

Below are some simple, delicious ways to use up extra milk before you go so none of it goes to waste.
 

 Easy Ways to Use Up Extra Milk

1. Freeze It
Raw milk freezes well! Pour a little off the top for expansion, then freeze in jars.

 Tip: You can also freeze milk in ice cube trays—perfect for popping into smoothies when you get home!

2. Make Yogurt
A great way to preserve milk and add gut-friendly probiotics to your fridge. Homemade yogurt lasts longer and is super versatile.

3. Bake & Freeze
Use extra milk in muffins, pancakes, or breads. They freeze beautifully and make for easy snacks and breakfasts later.
