About our cows Our cows' living conditions, feeds, and health treatments were reviewed by an independent inspector and approved by a third party as certified organic. They cannot be treated with hormones or antibiotics , a significant factor in the certification process. And the stress-free lives of our cows mean they produce an abundance of milk naturally, without the use of rBST, a precedent already established by Clover Stornetta throughout their line of fluid milk products. Our animals have open pasture, plenty of walking area, fresh air, clean bedding, and humane milking and feeding conditions. Farmers are expected to develop nutrition and living condition management practices that sustain healthy animals and help prevent sickness.
Rotation of crops is integral to organic pasture and cropland management.
The farmer must be a good environmental steward by preventing waste runoff. International, the largest producer-owned organic certifier in the world.
