Plano Dairy Farm Seeing Increased Demand For Raw Milk

Lavon Farms, a hidden dairy on Jupiter Road in Plano, has seen a drastic increase in the demand for raw milk. Customers are paying as much as $8 for a gallon, said Todd Moore, a third-generation dairyman and Lavon Farm’s owner.

“We sold 250 gallons of raw milk last Saturday,” Moore said. “There isn’t a single grocery store in Plano that sold 250 gallons of milk.”

A month ago, Moore reached out to Denton’s Cupboard Natural Foods grocery store in an attempt to sell his product, he said. Now customers can find Lucky Layla products, the processing branch of the Lavon Farms family tree, in stock at the Cupboard.

“The Cupboard is the first grocery store to carry my entire product line,” Moore said.

Danielle Dubose, a Cupboard employee and psychology senior, said all of her friends shop at the Cupboard. Dubose also has family in the dairy business
