Go ahead… have a cow!
To help you better understand organic farming practices and their benefits, and how they relate to life on the family farm, we created the Have A Cow® program that connects you, the consumer, to direct supply farms, the farmers, and the cows who provide the milk. You’ll learn about the benefits of organic farming practices and how these farms use them.
When you sign up for the Have A Cow® program, you can choose to “follow” a cow via email newsletter to learn about how it’s raised, what farm it lives on, and how organic farming works. Through these updates, you will learn about organic farming and responsible ingredient sourcing, and how each benefits the environment.
Organic farming and responsible ingredient sourcing are important ways to help sustain the environment. To learn more about organic farming and responsible ingredient sourcing, please click here.
