Many consumers aren’t aware that the FDA requires all milk, conventional and organic, to be free of antibiotics.  All milk is tested for antibiotic residue before it arrives at the creamery (in our case, the next building!). Our cows are very healthy, and rarely need medical intervention such as antibiotics. However, if one of our cows is given antibiotics as part of her treatment, her milk is disposed of the entire time she is treated and at least 3 days after treatment has ended. Her milk is only used again once it is tested free from antibiotics. We can run a simple test on-farm to determine if her milk is cleared.
