Organic milk is just one of many options in the dairy case to fit different lifestyles and personal preferences. Organic and regular milk are equally as good for you. Check the nutrition label, and you'll see that every 8-ounce serving offers the same amount of essential nutrients.

Walnut Acres we believe you can contribute to the long-term health and well being of yourself and your family and the environment by choosing certified organic foods. Increasingly, conventional foods are made from ingredients that contain residues of toxic synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones and other contaminants and may be irradiated. The effects of long-term exposure to these are unknown, including the impact on the developing systems of children.

Organic milk is cows milk produced without the use of antibiotics or synthetic hormones in order to artificially promote milk production, and without the use of pesticides on the natural feed and grass on which the cows graze. Organic milk must comply with the standards set by National Organic Program and the producers and processors of organic milk must be certified by a third party Organic Certifier accredited by USDA.

Discard it. Please let us know right away, and we will investigate. If no one else had a problem--or if you find that only one of your jars did, while the others were okay--there was likely a problem with the sanitation of that particular jar. You should review your cleaning procedures.

It has become very popular in aromatherapy to use only organic oils. In our experience, organic may not necessarily mean better. When oils are steam distilled, offensive or harmful pesticides are left behind. The pesticide reside is too big to pass through the distillation process. The only way pesticides could get through is if plants were newly sprayed at harvest time. The likelihood of this is slim.

Organic soymilk is made with whole organic soybeans and meets the USDA certification standards. Non-organic soymilk can be made with organic or non-organic soybeans but contains other non-organic ingredients that do not allow it to achieve the percentage of organic ingredients dictated by the USDA. Some natural flavors are made with non-organic ingredients, rendering the soymilk non-organic.

Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to a temperature high enough to kill any disease causing bacteria that may be present. This is done to safeguard the health of our customers. Pasteurization does not significantly affect the nutritional value of our milk. In Canada it is illegal to sell un-pasteurized milk.

The milk is homogenized to provide smooth drinkable milk. It prevents the butterfat or cream from separating from the milk by breaking up the fat into smaller particles. Without homogenization, the cream in the milk would separate from the skim and rise to the top of the container. Homogenization mechanically breaks up and disperses the milk fat throughout the milk and has no negative effect on the quality.

times, they all may be organic. However, which ingredients may not be organic varies due to availability and quality of organic components.

No. Unlike systems that require refrigeration for an internal supply of highly perishable liquid milk, the SAECO® is designed to use a premium, dry non-fat milk powder. There is no threat of a supply of liquid milk going bad over the long weekend, thus filling your cappuccino with yogurt come Monday morning. Different flavors are possible, but we actually recommend the same syrup flavorings as used by virtually all coffee bars – Torani®.

When making milk, 3 cups of non-instant powdered milk makes 1 gallon of liquid milk. Most people have better luck if you mix milk 1/2 and 1/2 with regular milk. OR, add 1-2 cups of non-dairy creamer to each gallon.

No, we at Redwood Hill Farm believe in consuming products in their most natural form with the least amount of processing. Goat milk is already lower in fat and cholesterol. Low and not fat products are not commonly available from goat milk producers because the equipment to separate the milk is expensive and most goat milk producers are smaller family farms.

At OF&G we don’t like to say ‘better’, we like to say ‘different’. Most non-organic farmers also care about the countryside and the welfare of their animals and it would be unfair to suggest otherwise. However, we think that organic methods take care for the environment, animals and the end product to an even higher level, giving the consumer the choice to eat food produced in this sustainable way.

Organic oils come from plants that are grown, harvested and distilled in accordance with organic practices. Non-organic essential oils come from plants that may have been grown with chemical fertilizers and sprayed with herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. In addition, non-sustainable farming practices may have been used – in other words practices that do not protect the soil, water and animal life.

Good question! It's not that the non-organically-grown is not vegan, but there are ethical issues around the production of chocolate and cocoa. For more about this, see the article by John Robbins here. Organic is not necessarily fair-trade (see the article), but, if you can't find fair-trade chocolate and cocoa, organic at least does not endanger the workers with pesticides. Alot of us use chocolate chips for for cooking and baking. Cocoa butter is vegan.

That's a big question. There's no doubt that growing crops and raising animals organically is easier on the environment. I try to shop organically as much as possible, but to me, fresh and local is better than organic shipped from far away. Some organic foods definitely taste better than non-organic. I've even converted to Heinz organic ketchup because it tastes better than their regular ketchup. With some foods it's hard to tell, so let your budget, ethics and taste buds be your guide.

Fresh organic fruits, vegetables and eggs often taste better than conventional ones. Dogs, with their remarkable sensitivity to smells, may be able to tell that our cookies do not contain preservatives or any other chemicals. Most dogs certainly seem to think that our treats are delicious!

Certified organic milk is put into a tank at a very low level, about 200ppm (0.02%) of lactase enzyme is added. Over the next 24 hours the lactase breaks down the lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. Every gram of lactose is broken down into ? gram glucose and ? gram galactose so the carbohydrate content of the milk stays the same.
