Is there any difference between the organic milk products and those coming from the cows that are raised and kept under the questionable conditions? The answer is YES, there’s a big difference.
Without doubt you see many brands of milk and milk products on the shelves of your grocery stores. But do you know a story behind each of the products you choose for your purchase?
As for me, researching and getting familiar with the brands, products and services I use for myself and my family is part of my life. You would not entrust a stranger with something you treasure and value. Why should we do the same with the food we consume?

Organic Milk Products vs Conventional Milk Products
First, I don’t want my food to contain any antibiotics or other chemicals that can harm the physical body. Just that one reason has been always enough for me to choose organic milk products for my family.
Organic Valley milk and half-and-half contain zero artificial additives or fillers, never use artificial hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, or GMO!
The Organic Valley farmers raise their cows using regenerative agriculture which includes alternating crops that keep the ground fertile year after year. The cows that eat the grasses grown on such fields pass the nutritional value of the green gold into the milk they produce.
FACT: The organic dairy products contain significantly higher protein, ALA, total omega-3 fatty acid and other micronutrients than conventional milk.1

You will be pleased to know that Organic Valley farmers graze their cows 50% more than organic requirements!

As a result of such care, the nutritional value of the milk and milk products is packed with nutrients good for the body.
Flavor Profile In Organic Milk Products

The taste of the fresh cow milk, aromatic cream and delectable cheeses my grandmother used to make will be in my memory for the rest of my life.

There’s no denying a fact that organic milk and milk products by Organic Valley farmers lift my childhood memories closer to the surface. The taste, the smell, the delicious texture of the milk and cream bring a smile and peace into my body every time I bring a cup with fresh milk close to my face.

I did not know that Organic milk offers more nutrients and protein. Such an amazing benefit in addition to being free of pesticides and antibiotics!
Michelle,
The studies definitely back this up! So happy you’ve learned something new!
I liked the brand too, it does wonderful products. Lately my family switched to non-dairy milk mostly and we use different brand for it but if I need cow milk, that’s definitely the finest choice
Lyosha,
I definitely use Organic brand. And the more I know about it, the more educated choice I make for my family’s well-being.
I agree so worth it for our family!
Paula,
It is vital these days to explore and learn about the brands and their products, and how they do their business.
Thank you for this review! We also buy organic milk for our kids and mostly organic fruits and as many items as we can
Nishtha,
I am with you. It is so worth to pay a bit more for the food that comes without pesticides and antibiotics.
So great to know that Organic Valley has the Lactose free products! We have a few family members who need it! And it is awesome to know that the milk has zero pesticides or fillers.
Thank you for the facts and informative post!
Daria,
It is important to know that Organic quality of milk products can be enjoyed by the people who are lactose intolerant.
Even though Organic milk can be pricey… especially right now… ibis a good thing for sure. I cut back on other things to ensure I get this yummy milk! It is so good!
Melissa,
Ditto. It is so worth to buy safer products, clean and non-toxic products for a few cents or a dollar more. It is going into our bodies. You decide, the consumer!
More protein is a good thing! I try to buy organic products often too. Thanks for sharing this info!
Ladena,
I found a lot of fascinating stuff and facts about organic vs conventional milk products.
Just knowing and having a non-toxic food in front of you is truly worth it.
This is why I have goats. The milk is so much better than what you can buy at the store and I know exactly what goes into it.
Renee,
You are the lucky one!
Not everyone has this luxury to have their own domestic animals. We are not even zoned for domestic animals like chickens and goats.
Yes, fresh milk is so good!
Organic is the way to go! I feel so much better knowing I’m not putting nasty stuff in my body. We’ve been drinking Organic milk for awhile now.
Monica,
My opinion and choice echo with yours.
Truly worth a few more cents or a couple of dollars to pay for organic and non-toxic food.
I’ve only tried store brand organic milks so I’m wondering how these compare taste wise. I think I’ll give this a try. I’m not sure if I’ve ever tried any Organic Valley products, probably because they’re more expensive than store brands. I’ve heard of them though, and it seems they’re probably better than store brands (which I’m sure probably have lower quality even if they’re organic.) Thanks for giving so much info here. It’s good to know that Organic Valley seems so committed and goes above and beyond organic requirements.
Sandra,
Thank you for your feedback.
I respect the companies who take care of their people, animals and create a sustainable business all around.
Researching the Organic Valley, I definitely vote for their products with my dollars spend at the store.
The company has checks and balances system that keeps quality control over what is produced and how.
Yes, try their products and taste for yourself!
i am so going to try this brand, thanks for this amazing post.
Jodi,
Organic Valley is a great brand to take home! Milk products, eggs, cheeses are from the cows that are cared for. The animals are treated with care and without any antibiotics.
Wonder if they have a lactose free variety. I’m lactose intolerant and buy milk without lactose or it’s broken down and won’t bother my stomach.
Jesse,
Organic Valley DOES have Lactose FREE milk! Check out your local stores, as well Target and Walmart.
