Horizon Organic was America’s first nationally distributed organic dairy brand. Since it was founded in 1991, the company has been a pioneer in the organic movement. Today, as the organic industry evolves, Horizon Organic continues to lead with insight, integrity and unwavering commitment to organic principles.

Company Overview:

• Founded in 1991, Horizon Organic was America’s first national organic dairy brand.
• Together with other industry leaders, our founders played a key role in helping to develop the National Organic Standards and the USDA Organic Seal.
• We have pioneered practices for organic dairy farming and land stewardship, and are privileged to work with some of the industry’s top experts in land conservation, organic agriculture and animal welfare.

Toward a Cleaner Planet:

• Our Idaho dairy was the first large certified organic dairy in the country, and now supports more than 30,000 organic acres (including the cropland supplying feed to our operations).
• On our Maryland farm, our organic practices have transformed previously mismanaged land with dangerously high phosphorous levels into permanent organic pasture.
• We sponsor numerous non-profit and trade organizations devoted to organic agriculture and related environmental causes: Farm Aid, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), Help Wanted Organic Farmers Campaign, The Organic Center and others.
• We have been recognized with an EPA Green Power Partnership Award for our support of renewable wind energy.

Support for the Family Farm:

• Through the Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) program, we recruit and support hundreds of organic family farms across the country.
• 80% of our milk is supplied by 363 certified organic family farmers from 18 states across the country. The balance of our milk comes from our two certified organic dairies in Idaho and Maryland.
• 228 additional family farmers are in the process of converting to organic through the HOPE program.

Farm Animal Welfare:

• On our company-owned farms and the farms of our partners, all of the animals that supply Horizon Organic milk enjoy the holistic benefits of organic management practices:
• A preventive approach to healthcare that minimizes illness by providing a sanitary environment, proper nutrition and compassionate, attentive daily care.
• Room to roam outdoors and to display natural behaviors.
• A 100% vegetarian, certified organic diet of active grazing during the growing season, supplemented by certified organic feed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Other retail outlets for 8 oz Horizon Milk, September 25, 2007

This review is from: Horizon Organic Low Fat Milk, Vanilla, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18) (Grocery)

For anyone who has a Whole Foods Grocery chain in their area, this same product sells for $12.99/case(18 cartons). I discovered this after I paid Amazon's high price of $25! Maybe they will adjust their price downward if more customers share competitive pricing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk is a Favorite, but pricy on Amazon, September 15, 2007

This review is from: Horizon Organic Low Fat Milk, Vanilla, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18) (Grocery)

My kids love this milk. Admit it is on the expensive side, but it travels well and the kids will drink it (they won't drink other milk.)
Note: Just went to BJs wholesale and paid 12.99 for the 18 pk. Won't buy from Amazon again when there's such a price difference.

My son loves these milks and we used to get them for him when we went to Starbucks. I was familiar with the Horizon brand and thought that the vanilla flavor would be fine. I began to notice a few times after drinking this he would say his tummy hurt or he would act sick(really tired) shortly after drinking them. I read the label and saw 29g of sugar...yeah holy cow!

When we serve him a flavored milk I give him Gerbers smart sips, they have vanilla and mild vanilla flavor with 11g of sugar, I think the mild vanilla has even less grams of sugar. He still loves the taste too! I find them in the babyfood aisle at the grocery store.
