PLANNED

Small dairies deserve transparent infrastructure.

Raw milk, artisan cheese, farmstead butter — from named farms with verified practices. The same clearing layer that serves beef producers serves dairy producers. Same USDA framework. Same regional processing bottleneck. Same solution.

$2-3
Commodity milk price/gal
$8-14
Direct raw milk price/gal
3-5x
Price premium for provenance
70%
Small dairies lost since 2000

The thesis.

Small dairies are crushed by commodity pricing. A gallon of raw milk from a pasture-based dairy is worth $8-14 to the right buyer but sells for $2-3 through commodity channels. The transparent supply chain gives dairy producers direct access to buyers who value provenance.

How it works.

01 — LIST

Dairy products

Raw milk, cheese, butter, cream, yogurt. Breed, feed, practices, and certifications documented. Herd health records attached.

02 — MATCH

Local buyers

Families, co-ops, cheese shops, restaurants. Buyers see the farm, the herd, the practices. Subscription and one-time purchase models.

03 — SETTLE

Same-day payment

No 30-day terms from the processor co-op. Funds escrowed and released on delivery. The dairy farmer gets paid when the product arrives.

The opportunity.

A family buying a cow share from Rivercreek would also buy dairy from the same network. The cross-sell is natural: same producer, same trust relationship, different product. The platform already has the producer and the buyer — dairy is the next SKU.

Connection to the network.

Same USDA inspection framework as beef. Same regional processing bottleneck (small creameries, not mega-plants). Same producer economics — the dairy farmer keeps more when the intermediary stack is replaced by one transparent layer.

Join the transparent supply chain.

If you produce, process, or buy dairy & creamery and want to be part of what we're building, we want to hear from you.
