Virginia Herd Shares
Herd shares in Virginia enable you to enjoy the freshest, most natural raw milk products available. Unless you have a cow in your backyard, you need a herd share to enjoy our great raw milk, raw milk cheese, raw milk butter, and yogurt.
Startup costs include your herd purchase, jars (only for those who want milk and/or yogurt), and first month’s boarding fee (prorated to the first of the month). After that, you settle into the routine Boarding Fee due at the beginning of each month.

Get To Know Us
We handcraft farmstead cheese using time-honored techniques from our own Normande cow’s milk.
Hey there! We’re Melanie and Scott, owners of Peaceful Heart Farm in beautiful Claudville. That’s in Patrick County Virginia, nestled between Winston-Salem, NC and Roanoke, VA.
In an age where most people only have access to bland food from industrial agriculture, we’re proud to call ourselves your local farmers. We milk the cows ourselves, make cheese by hand, produce nutrient-dense food and heal the earth. And we create food that has a real sense of terroir…that local taste that can only be created from our rich southern Virginia soils and forages.
We’re proud to serve Southwestern Virginia (Galax, Hillsville, Independence, Roanoke and Wytheville, VA and surrounding towns). We also serve the North Carolina Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point, NC) with fresh raw milk dairy products.
