Organic Dairy #FightPesticides

When I had children I began to question a lot of our habits and purchases. One of the first areas we looked at were the type of food products we were purchasing and where they were coming from. Our children and their health mean so much to us! We began the long road to educating ourselves about organic vs non organic food products.

So what does organic mean?? Organic refers to the process in which food and fiber are grown and processed. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics and synthetic hormones. Do not confuse natural with organic! Stonyfield has an awesome table on their website that outlines the great differences between these two tables and you can find it here.
Dairy plays a huge role in our family. Our children love their yogurt, cheeses and milk. You can imagine my shock when I found out that non organic dairy is produced from cows that are injected with synthetic hormones. These hormones work to increase the weight of the cattle along with milk production. These hormones can actually lead to increased infections in cows.
