Animal Care
Organic Standards of Animal Care
All of the organic family farms of our cooperative meet organic standards for dairy cows including 120 days or more of time outside grazing on pasture and year-round access to the outdoors and fresh air and sunshine, weather permitting. Our organic approach shines through in our products
Time Outside!
Our cows enjoy grazing on pasture more than 120 days each year, and even have access to the great outdoors year-round weather permitting. With that outdoor access and space to roam, they take thousands of steps daily. Because we believe cows should live how nature intended– with time outside grazing on fresh organic pasture.

Working with Nature, Not Against It.
We believe natural is better. Which is why we’re always organic. We raise our animals without artificial growth hormones or antibiotics, and nothing they eat has ever been sprayed with synthetic pesticides. Organic practices allow for longer lives on average for our cows and wholesome milk you can feel good about serving to your loved ones.

Little Herds. Lots of Love.
Factory farms have herds with tens of thousands of cows. Our organic farms look and operate very different from that. Our 1600 member farms are spread across the U.S. - and amongst our cooperative membership, our average herd size is only 78—We believe small organic family farms are worth saving.

Cows Outside Eat as Nature Intended.
Pasture raised dairy and grass-fed dairy give cows the nutrition they need from the natural cycle of cows grazing on grass. It’s a natural cycle that is good for people, animals, and the planet.
