FAQ
A herdshare allows you to become a part-owner of a cow (or herd), giving you legal access to the raw milk it produces. This model is how we legally provide raw, unpasteurized milk in California. But it's more than logistics—by joining, you're helping bring pasture-raised, on-site milked raw dairy to life in Southern California, creating a beautiful, regenerative alternative to industrial dairy systems. You're investing in food sovereignty, building community, and ensuring the availability of truly nourishing milk for future generations.
Your membership includes an initial herd share purchase, weekly access to raw milk, monthly boarding and bottling services and weekly pickup at a San Diego/specified location

The one-time share purchase of $175 per share secures your spot in the herd. It’s your “buy-in” as a legal co-owner and is required to begin your membership.

FAMILIES LOVE PERENNIAL PASTURES
EXCELLENT!!!
The Perennial Pastures team was fantastic. This was my first-time ordering a half cow. I was little intimated & had a lot of questions. But,the PP Team answered all my questions, made the purchase & delivery simple & easy. Brian was the team member that did the actual delivery & he was friendly & especially kind to my 9 year old son that was curious about the meats. Brian answered all his questions. Very cool. - Gregg S.
GREAT BEEF
This was my first time purchasing a bulk beef order and it couldn't have gone any smoother! All three people I had contact with were friendly, helpful and organized. They kept me informed each step of the way from order, slaughter, packaging and delivery. The beef tastes great and the ancestral ground beef was a delicious option! - John K.
DELICIOUS MEAT
We've already cooked 2 roasts and ribs from our half a cow order. Everything has tasted delicious! We are experimenting with different ways of cooking and seasoning. Very happy with the order and the delivery. Matt kept in touch and coordinated the meet up in AZ. Grateful for all involved in the raising, butchering and delivery of grass fed/grass finished beef! We appreciate regenerative farming!! Keep up the good work!! - Kathy S.
Amazing grass fed quality from a local farmer.
Best food purchase I've ever made. I had been ordering small amounts of beef every couple days so getting this much all at once significantly cut out constant orders and deliveries. Since I follow a carnivore diet it's perfect with the mass amount of different cuts; varieties of steaks, roasts, & ground beef is enough to keep it interesting and fun. - Devon L.
