This is a quick overview of our local co-ops in the Charlotte area, and expanding into the Chapel Hill/Raleigh area.  Please follow the links to the community discussion board for more information and answers to your questions!

Nourishing the Carolinas Raw Milk Co-op

We receive deliveries of fresh raw milk, buttermilk, and cream from LD Peeler's Milky Way Farm. These deliveries occur every other Thursday in Fort Mill, SC. There are other delivery/pick-up options for those that can't make the official Thursday mid-afternoon delivery. There are currently no membership requirements for this group - just order and pick-up.

We're in the organization process for a monthly or bimonthly event in Chapel Hill and/or Raleigh. All orders must be prepaid within SC.
