Welcome to the Purebred Mini Jersey Homesteaders Foundation!
You’ve made a commitment to provide fresh raw milk to your family and neighbors.
We’ve made a commitment to you, the community of owners who chose a Purebred Mini Jersey cow because you care about quality. You’ve invested in her valuable attributes; nutrient-dense milk from a sustainable, small dairy breed ideally suited for homesteads and small family farms because of her miniature stature, efficient production, and affectionate temperament.
Once the Foundation is funded through public donations, it will offer microgrants for Mini Jersey owners to gain access to education, sustainable agriculture, and entrepreneurial farm skills that bring in added homestead income. This enables small farms to offer services to their communities that are typically hard to find. Supporting these entrepreneurs builds opportunities for sustainable agriculture, family farming, ethical animal husbandry, and local food security.
