Larga Vista Ranch & Dairy: Raw Milk in Colorado Springs and Pueblo
Welcome to Larga Vista Ranch & Dairy, one of Colorado’s oldest all-grass dairies. Located between Colorado Springs and Pueblo, this ranch is dedicated to sustainable farming and the benefits of raw milk.
All-Grass Dairy Farming
Larga Vista Ranch ensures its cattle are never fed grain, relying on rich soil and irrigation to maintain nutrient-dense pastures for nine months of lush grazing each year. This commitment to quality pasture is key to the quality of their milk.
How to Sign Up for Raw Milk
To obtain raw milk from Larga Vista Ranch, follow these steps:
Attend a Dairy Tour: Visit the facilities, meet the cows, and sign the necessary cow-share paperwork for the State of Colorado.
Join the Waiting List: Currently, there is a waiting list for milk shares, with more shares expected to open in spring.
Purchase a Share: Each share costs a one-time fee of $50, entitling shareholders to one gallon of milk per week. The monthly boarding fee is $57 (at the farm) or $65 (picked up in Colorado Springs). Shares can range from half to multiple shares.
Sign the Contract: Shareholders receive a legal contract outlining the agreement with Larga Vista Ranch.
Benefits of Raw Milk
Raw milk from Larga Vista Ranch contains glycosphingolipids, which protect against gastrointestinal infections. Unlike store-bought "whole milk," their milk retains all its natural cream, offering full health benefits and versatility for making butter or adding to foods and beverages.
Commitment to Health and Quality
The ranch ensures all dairy cows are tuberculosis-free and conducts monthly cleanliness tests on the milk. Shareholders can pick up their milk weekly at convenient locations in Colorado Springs and Black Forest.
