“Organic farming helps maintain a natural approach that helps protect the health of animals, land and water resources. Horizon Organic’s dedication to holistic land management and regenerative practices has helped make a significant impact on the environment. By implementing cutting-edge, pioneering grazing practices, based on Holistic Management planning, Horizon Organic has shown themselves to be an industry leader in protecting our natural resources and ensuring the health of the animals.” “Horizon Organic’s commitment to family farmers across the nation has been extremely important in helping to grow and sustain the organic dairy community. They have helped hundreds of farmers convert to organic farming and are dedicated to improving the livelihood of all organic dairy farmers in the organic dairy industry. NODPA is enthusiastically working with Horizon Organic and their farmer partners to provide a sustainable future for existing organic dairy farms while continuing to expand organic dairying and protect and advance the integrity of the USDA NOP organic standards.” -- Ed Maltby, former organic dairy farmer and Executive Director of the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance (NODPA). "Organic milk is a great source of protein and calcium. I support the farmers and farms of Horizon Organic as they join together to provide organic milk for our country." -- Alan Greene, MD, www.drgreene.com "One thing is clear throughout Horizon's standards of care -- a deep commitment to animal health and welfare, and to the land. These commitments, coupled with insights from new science, will lead over time to more nutritious, safer milk and dairy farms that are sustainable in every sense of the word." -- Chuck Benbrook, Ph.D., Chief Scientist, The Organic Center
