Serving up a healthy glass (or bowl) of milk.

Why choose organic milk?

1.    No pesticides
2.    No antibiotics
3.    No growth hormones

Most of the milk you buy at the grocery store is chock full of the above three--lovely stuff that wreaks havoc on us as adults but is even more harmful to our kids who guzzle it down by the glassful. You can avoid all of this and serve up a healthy, tasty glass of milk by choosing organic.

Here are three more ‘feel good’ reasons to choose organic:

4.    Happy cows
5.    Happy environment
6.    Really cool farmers

With some of the tortuous conditions on many factory farms coming to light, choosing organic is another way to express our human decency. Many of the farmers who choose to go organic do so for a love of the animals and of the land. Organic farming practices are often gentler on the critters as well as Mother Earth.

And if you get a chance, give your local organic farmer a hug…they are working their buns off to deliver you healthy and safe food.

Even better than a hug, buy organic. This one’s a no-brainer. The extra you’re spending per gallon is an investment in your family’s health, the planet, and peace of mind.
