How It Works

  1. With an active subscription, pick a tier (note the weekly minimum for the larger tiers) and make your check out to Covenant Pastures LLC.
  2. Mail it to PO Box 122, Cylinder, IA 50528.
  3. We'll load the credit to your account when your check arrives. Order online as usual, and your credit pays for the order.

Prefer to pay by card? We still take credit card orders at full price ($16/gal) with no volume limit.

When your credit runs out. Once your credit is used up, payment continues by credit card at full price unless you send in another check.

Why We're Making This Change

No card fees. Checks skip card processing costs, so we can pass the savings to you. A $300 minimum keeps check handling manageable for our family.

Long-term support for our farm. Paying ahead helps us buy the equipment, animals and supplies we need, gives the farm steadier cash flow, and helps us plan ahead.

Savings without a big commitment. Lower-cost raw milk without subscribing to a large amount. If you want to get into dairy processing at home, it's a more economical route.

Good to Know

Use it across the farm. Credit is in dollars and works on anything we sell.

Transferable, not cashable. Credits aren't redeemable for cash but can be transferred between customers.

No more subscription discounts. This prepay program replaces our subscription discount. An active subscription is required to join.

If the farm closes or is sold. In that unlikely event, we'll refund the unused share of what you paid.

Subject to availability. Credit doesn't reserve milk; orders are filled as supply allows.
