Organic Dairy Products from Factory Farms!

If you're buying organic dairy products because you want healthier dairy products, be careful what brands you buy.

If you haven't already heard, Aurora Dairy in Colorado, although it has organic status is a factory farm. There is a lot of controversy around Aurora Dairy already because of its large scale operation with little space for the animals. It does not meet the criteria for the typical organic dairy. Yet it continues to produce dairy products under the organic label.

If you want truly organic quality dairy products from healthy animals raised in clean, healthy environments, you will want to avoid products from Aurora Dairy. They sell their products under the following labels:
  • Costco's "Kirkland Signature"
  • Safeway's "O" organics brand
  • Publix's "High Meadows"
  • Giant's "Natures Promise"
  • UNFI's "Woodstock Farms"
