Horizon Organic was America’s first nationally distributed organic dairy brand. Since it was founded in 1991, the company has been a pioneer in the organic movement. Today, as the organic industry evolves, Horizon Organic continues to lead with insight, integrity and unwavering commitment to organic principles.

Company Overview:

• Founded in 1991, Horizon Organic was America’s first national organic dairy brand.
• Together with other industry leaders, our founders played a key role in helping to develop the National Organic Standards and the USDA Organic Seal.
• We have pioneered practices for organic dairy farming and land stewardship, and are privileged to work with some of the industry’s top experts in land conservation, organic agriculture and animal welfare.

• Our Idaho dairy was the first large certified organic dairy in the country, and now supports more than 30,000 organic acres (including the cropland supplying feed to our operations).
• On our Maryland farm, our organic practices have transformed previously mismanaged land with dangerously high phosphorous levels into permanent organic pasture.
• We sponsor numerous non-profit and trade organizations devoted to organic agriculture and related environmental causes: Farm Aid, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), Help Wanted Organic Farmers Campaign, The Organic Center and others.
• We have been recognized with an EPA Green Power Partnership Award for our support of renewable wind energy.

• Through the Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) program, we recruit and support hundreds of organic family farms across the country.
• 80% of our milk is supplied by 363 certified organic family farmers from 18 states across the country. The balance of our milk comes from our two certified organic dairies in Idaho and Maryland.
• 228 additional family farmers are in the process of converting to organic through the HOPE program.

• On our company-owned farms and the farms of our partners, all of the animals that supply Horizon Organic milk enjoy the holistic benefits of organic management practices:
• A preventive approach to healthcare that minimizes illness by providing a sanitary environment, proper nutrition and compassionate, attentive daily care.
• Room to roam outdoors and to display natural behaviors.
• A 100% vegetarian, certified organic diet of active grazing during the growing season, supplemented by certified organic feed.

Customer Reviews

delicious- but don't buy it here
Fabulous product- very yum and convenient= however, $25 for a case is highway robbery. If you have a whole foods near you- it's 5-7 dollars cheaper by the case, and 2-3 dollars cheaper even if you purchase individually.

Know About this Brand before You Buy
Horizon has been boycotted by the Organic Consumers Association and is the target of frequent complaints filed with the USDA because of their poor track record with regard to compliance with organic standards. Since they were bought by 12-billion dollar mega-corp Dean Foods, a large percentage of their organic dairy has been produced at factory farms, some with upwards of 10,000 cows.

I recently started a blog about this subject because it irritates me on a personal level. See my blog for more information and links regarding Horizon Dairy products: [...]

Great milk, terrible price
I love this chocolate milk--especially in my morning coffee. But $25 for an 18-pack is JUST WRONG! I bought an 18-pack this morning at Whole Foods for $15.99!
