Start with the hours, because the listings agree on them: the farm store is open 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, 9 to 3 on Saturday, and closed Sunday. Then the shelves, which run from raw A2A2 milk and pastured eggs to sourdough, yogurt and beef. Get Raw Milk describes a family of eight on 14 acres in Rural Hall, North Carolina, with Jersey and Brown Swiss cows. This list is a visitor's wish list built from public listings and reviews, not from the farm itself. It leaves out prices beyond the one posted, so call before you drive out.

Why these items are on the list

  1. Check store hours first. Listings give 9 to 5 on weekdays and 9 to 3 on Saturday, with Sunday closed.
  2. Walk up the pathway. Directions say to walk to the front door and shop the farm store during business hours.
  3. Meet the baby goat. One reviewer found one in the log cabin store. No promises it's there on your day.
  4. Pick up raw A2A2 milk. Sold by the gallon or half gallon. One listing says $15 a gallon, for animal consumption only under NC law.
  5. Take home pastured eggs. Listings variously call the eggs pastured, non-GMO or farm fresh.
  6. Buy pastured chicken. The listing calls it pastured organic chicken, and the farm belongs to a pastured poultry producers group.
  7. Try the yogurt. One reviewer says they buy it every week.
  8. Grab fresh sourdough. One reviewer left with fresh sourdough, and baked goods are listed in every season.
  9. Choose beef or ground beef. Both farm-raised beef and ground beef appear in the product lists.
  10. Look for Mulefoot pork. The listing files the Mulefoot hog under Ark of Taste, alongside Bourbon Red turkey.
  11. Ask about tours and classes. The listing says they happen occasionally, so contact the farm about availability.
  12. Check for goat milk and honey. One third-party listing includes both among what the farm sells.
  13. Browse Azure Standard groceries. The online shop also carries them, plus organic animal feed.
  14. Consider a subscription. Many of the eggs, yogurt, chicken, beef and bread items can be subscribed to.
  15. Pick up soap or pet food. Both appear under processed products on the listing.
  16. Look for seasonal turkey. Turkey appears in only one of the four seasonal product lists.
  17. Say hello to the owners. Reviewers describe them as friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
  18. Follow the farm online. Listed as @thebucketlisthomestead on Instagram and Facebook.

It works as a shopping-and-sightseeing list on your phone: tick things off at the counter, skip what's sold out, and keep the rest for the next trip. Handy to share with whoever's driving.

When to use it

Use it before a trip to the Winston-Salem area, or when you're planning a weekday or Saturday run to the farm store.
