Back in the good ol’ days families had farms, gardens and raised animals for their family’s food and milk. I love hearing stories from my mom about her cow growing up, she still tells us of her fond memories of her memorable friend (no, seriously she adored that cow… she can tell stories for hours- don’t get her started!!)
I find it so neat she had a farm and raised her own food. But my childhood on the other hand, was typical to most kids these days, in the suburbs and the city. It has just become the norm that very few families raise their own cattle. It makes me sad that we rely on other people for our food and we don’t appreciate the effort and hard work of the food we put in our bodies.
This is why the large companies have streamlined the business. “Beefing” up their cows for more meat and keeping the cows in tight living quarters. Sad, right?!
Let’s not get completely depressed though, because there are companies like Horizon Organic that are dedicated to their product. They are different in the fact they sell organic, simply great milk.
They partner with over 600 organic family farmers to produce the best out there (while supporting the “little guys”). When reading their Standards of Care, I was impressed with their practices and policies, such as – they believe the dairy cattle should be grazing and outside in the open as often as possible. I think so too! After all, they are cows!!
Most recently we tried Horizon Organic’s newest product, Fat-Free Milk Plus DHA Omega-3. My husband loves Horizon milk, and this new product was no different. In fact he thinks it is “the best milk ever.” Literally, he said that after the first sip! This milk is sure not to go bad and expire in our fridge! I also like Horizon milk, both for the company practices and their healthy, tasty milk options… oh I like their cheese too.. yum!
