Calico Dairy

Excellent products, all hands made and natural. Not many places where you can find raw cow and goat dairy products and everything we’ve tried is awesome. Cheese, butter, kefir, etc.

Really friendly, great place to get raw milk and dairy! They have eggs too. Wish we lived closer!

What a find! I’ve been getting spectacularly healthful raw cow milk religiously now for several years but have rarely found sources of goat milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, kefir, cream, eggs and meat at one place easily located just half a mile west on League Line Road on the right off of I45 in Conroe! It’s well worth the drive from Lake Jackson.

I’m not really into the whole organic, locavore, gluten-​free thing. But this is super close to home for me and thought I’d check it out. Located on League Line off 45, it’s a spacious farm sandwiched between the subdivisions of Teaswood and Panorama Village. At the end of the dirt road is a tiny red barn where you can buy raw unpasteurized milk (goat and cow). A lot more expensive than your pasteurized milk at HEB. While there’s a risk of catching brucellosis (Maltese fever) drinking this, after eating brain taco, raw milk zoonosis is the least of my concern. The folks working there are very helpful. There were some customers who drove as far away as Beaumont to get the raw goods. I was here on a mission for butter. Also saw kefir and decided to give it a try. Wasn’t a fan of it. Loaded with probiotics, this yogurt was too tart and sour for my tastes. Daughter said it tasted like spoiled milk lol. The unsalted butter was absolute gold! Has a rich creamy taste! Move over Land O’Lakes! Calico is taking over my fridge. And boy has it taken it over literally! Each block is the size of a brick! There are some other items for sale there as well from gouda, cacciotta cheese, and their $ 9/​gal raw milk. I’m content with the yummy butter for now.

Today my son’s Christian school had a field trip at the dairy farm. It was scheduled with someone who apparently failed to communicate that with the woman behind the counter. When one of the teachers went in to ask for the bathroom, she was horrified by the evil response. The woman barked at her so rudely that the teacher was later in tears. I was not in there when this happened but when the teacher came out she was quite shaken and told us that she said the cows are milked at 9am. We were left to look through fences at the cows, goats and a pig. Being a working mom, I was excited to go on my first field trip with my twin sons. I took a group of children to the bathroom and as we walked (quietly and in a line-​not easy for five year olds) past the counter she looked down at the children with an evil, angry face shaking her head in the no position saying «ridiculous». I felt an overwhelming feeling of protection. I just wanted to shield the precious children from her. I can not even believe she thought it was remotely okay to behave that way. I will make sure to tell everyone I know how horrible this place was, especially the large woman that works behind the counter. I work with the public, and I would NEVER treat anyone the way she did. We all have bad days but what she did was uncalled for.

The Holfmans are awesome people. We drove the hour up to his place. We arrived and picked up a slate of eggs, 2 gallons of raw cows milk. ½ gallon of goats milk. The strawberry milk is awesome and the fudge milk is incredible but you have to dilute it for my taste. We picked up steaks and roasts. Ended up spending a $ 165 bucks before we were out of there. We will be back In about 2 weeks. Great friendly people who will educate and talk as long as you would want too.
