Most of the milk that&#8217;s sold at the grocery store comes from cows that are injected with hormones to get greater milk production, and their environment and food are often sub-standard. That&#8217;s why my wife and I go out of our way to buy organic milk. Not only does it taste better, it&#8217;s better for our bodies \u2014 and the cows.<\/p>\n<p>I recently spotted this information on the side of a Horizon Organic milk cartoon. It came with a blurb about their growing family farms that adhere to their strict organic milking process. I was surprised to find out the strict criteria family farms have to meet in order to be a part of their network of organic dairy providers.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do You Raise an Organic Cow?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Give her wholesome certified organic food, fresh air, and access to pasture that&#8217;s not treated with dangerous pesticides. Plus, plenty of friends, of course &#8212; every cow needs a herd.<\/li>\n<li>Keep her healthy the old fashioned way, with a clean environment and attentive natural and homeopathic care \u2014 no antibiotic drugs.<\/li>\n<li>Let her give milk according to her natural cycles, without the stress of added growth hormones.<\/li>\n<li>Shower her with attention every day. After all, everything grows better with a little TLC!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonorganic.com\/\">Horizon Organic<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/custom?domains=familyresource.com&#038;q=organic+milk&#038;sa=Google+Search&#038;sitesearch=&#038;client=pub-7682956635976503&#038;forid=1&#038;ie=ISO-8859-1&#038;oe=ISO-8859-1&#038;safe=active&#038;cof=GALT%3A%23333333%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23999999%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BALC%3AF96611%3BLC%3AF96611%3BT%3A666666%3BGFNT%3A666666%3BGIMP%3A666666%3BLH%3A82%3BLW%3A489%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.familyresource.com%2Fimg%2Fgoogleheader.png%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.familyresource.com%2F%3BFORID%3A1%3B&#038;hl=en\">organic milk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m someone who loves milk, but I don&#8217;t like the way modern farmers raise and milk their cows.
