Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:

Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!

Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
  
  How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring items you'd like to receive.
Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring order each week until you take it out.
Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.

When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!

Shop > Milk & Cream

All of our milk is produced by our own cows on our family farm in the Cowichan Valley at 4590 Koksilah Rd.

Our Holsteins are unique - our entire herd of 55 cows only produces the A2 protein, for milk that is gentler on digestion. Some people do not digest the A1 protein well, which can produce symptoms similar to lactose intolerance. Approximately two-thirds of Holstein cows will produce either all A1 or a blend of A1 and A2 proteins, so Ben has carefully built our herd over many years and has tested to confirm that their milk only includes the A2 protein.

We use the lowest pasteurization temperature that Canada permits to process our cows' milk (held at 69*C for 30 minutes), and you can choose between old fashioned cream-top milk or homogenized milk. Homogenization forces the milk through a very fine filter to break up the fat globules, which keeps the cream suspended in the milk instead of it rising to the top.

Each glass bottle has a refundable $2.50 deposit. You can receive your deposit back by leaving the clean empty bottle(s) by your cooler to be collected by your home delivery driver, returning them to a local grocery store that sells our milk, or by bringing them to our self-serve farmstand (no change available, but you can exchange your bottles for freshly filled ones). Farmstand pricing matches our home delivery pricing, and local grocery stores set their prices to cover their individual operational costs.

IMPORTANT!

We're sorry, this product is only available for the current week and it appears you are either past the cut-off time or have already received your delivery.
