Why buy organic
A Whole Systems Approach
WHEN YOU PURCHASE an Organic, product, you're getting a healthful, premium product that you can feel good about serving to your family. But you're also supporting a system of agriculture that is environmentally sound, and which assures the health and future productivity of both animals and land.
Certified organic milk reflects the farm on which it was produced. The dairy cows on that farm were:
Fed organic feed raised on land certified as meeting national organic growing standards,
Raised in conditions which limit stress and promote health,
Cared for as individuals by dairy professionals who value animal health,
Not given routine treatments of antibiotics or growth hormones.
WHEN YOU PURCHASE an organic product, you're supporting organic agriculture, a production method which strives to maintain biological diversity while replenishing soil fertility and eliminating the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Because the husbandry practices used by organic farmers require a level of attentiveness and care incompatible with industrialized dairy operations, you're also supporting farmers.
You're supporting farmers who work with the health of the earth in mind
FOR ORGANIC DAIRY FARMERS, certification requirements include very specific standards addressing the introduction of new animals to a herd, veterinary practices, and housing and grazing. Even the handling of manure on an organic farm is regulated to ensure that run-off is not polluting aquifers or waterways. Organic standards also cover processing and packaging of the final product
