Jar Return Guidelines

At Warm Valley Farm, we choose reusable glass jars because they’re better for your food, your health, and our land.

Glass keeps food pure.

Glass doesn’t leach chemicals, absorb odors, or affect flavor. Our milk and cultured products stay exactly as they were made—clean, fresh, and wholesome.

Glass supports sustainability.

Reusable jars dramatically reduce single-use plastic waste. By returning and reusing jars, we keep hundreds of containers out of landfills every year.

Glass protects quality.

Glass maintains consistent temperature and preserves freshness better than plastic, especially for raw and cultured dairy.

Glass supports a local, circular system.

Your refundable jar deposit allows us to wash, sanitize, and reuse jars safely—keeping costs down and supporting a closed-loop system right here in our community.

How the jar deposit works:

Each product includes a refundable glass jar deposit. Clean jars can be returned for credit on a future purchase.

Thank you for helping us care for our food, our farm, and our environment—one jar at a time.

Please Return jars that are:

  • Rinsed and free of food residue

  • Free of chips or cracks

  • Please return plastic lids as well
