Frequently Asked Questions

Half and Half is a dairy product made by blending equal parts whole milk and light cream, resulting in a liquid with approximately 10-12% milk fat. The name comes from this 50/50 ratio of milk to cream. It's richer than whole milk (which contains about 3.25% fat) but lighter than heavy cream (which has 36-40% fat), making it the perfect middle-ground dairy option for coffee, cooking, and baking.

The primary difference is fat content:
ProductFat ContentBest Uses
Half and Half10-12%Coffee, light sauces, soups
Heavy Cream36-40%Whipping, rich sauces, ice cream
Whole Milk3.25%Drinking, cereal, baking
Heavy cream will whip and thicken when beaten due to its high fat content, while half and half will not. However, half and half won't curdle as easily in hot coffee compared to milk, making it the preferred choice for coffee drinkers who want richness without excessive calories.

Yes, but with limitations:Works for: Soups, creamy pasta sauces, coffee drinks, custards Doesn't work for: Whipped cream, ice cream, recipes requiring thickening through reductionSubstitution Ratio: Use equal parts half and half for heavy cream in soups and sauces, but expect a thinner consistency.Pro Tip: If a recipe calls for heavy cream and you only have half and half, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter per cup of half and half to increase the fat content.

While our milk isn’t certified organic, our cows are fed homegrown forage from Ellington and nearby towns - including silage, ryelage, haylage, and tailored nutrients, all overseen by an on-site nutritionist. No hormones are ever used, and each cow receives individual care based on their needs. We’re proud of the quality and transparency behind every bottle!

Our milk is pasteurized for safety and quality. That means it's gently heated to remove harmful bacteria while still staying fresh and delicious.

We guarantee that our milk will never have fewer than 9 days of freshness left when it's delivered to your door. Quality is our priority! To keep your delivery fresh, we recommend using our insulated porch boxes if you're not home when the delivery arrives.
