Organic Valley^® Oat Beverages come in two delicious oat-based varieties: Original and Creamy. They are made with no gums or seed oils, and are nut-free, non-dairy and lactose-free — perfect for frothing, cereal, baking, smoothies and drinking! All of the organic oats are sourced from the farmer member-owners of Organic Valley.
Organic Valley’s mission is to provide a stable, sustainable pay price to farmers so they can continue farming with their families. It all started in 1988, when seven farmers got together to find a way to market their goods and make a sustainable living by producing organically derived food.
