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

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!

great
Since I've started buying groceries at amazon I have discovered "taste great" is a pretty subjective thing. That's obvious since everyone has different tastes, but even so I wonder about some of the great reviews on some things. So I bought this because it was on sale with the 20 dollars off deal and didn't actually expect to enjoy the milk. I bought the regular milk and this chocolate. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised to say it actually does taste great. The milk does have a very very slight different taste from milk you would get in your supermarket, but in no way does that take away from the milk. I drunk it when it was over room temp and then when it was cool. It tasted better cold, but it wasn't bad warmer either. So I guess Horizon can consider me a convert to their milk and I will certainly buy again before the sale is off.

Wonderful alternative to Juice Boxes
My children love these handy boxes of milk. Although these are still hard to find in the 18 count box in many chain grocery stores, I go out of my way to order them online. They do not need refridgeration and are great for lunches, car trips or any place and time you want to offer your children a drink that is good for them and tastes good. They are pricey, but you are paying for the quality of real milk in a convienent on the go package.

Wonderful product.
