Horizon Organic, America's first nationally distributed organic dairy brand, has been a pioneer in the organic movement since its founding in 1991. Together with other industry leaders, the company's founders played a pivotal role in developing the National Organic Standards and the USDA Organic Seal. Horizon Organic has continued to lead with insight, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to organic principles as the industry has evolved.
The company's dedication to organic practices and environmental stewardship is evident in its operations. Horizon Organic's Idaho dairy was the first large certified organic dairy in the country, and now supports more than 30,000 organic acres, including the cropland that supplies feed to its operations. On its Maryland farm, the company's organic practices have transformed previously mismanaged land with high phosphorous levels into permanent organic pasture.
Horizon Organic's support for the organic community extends beyond its own farms. The company sponsors numerous non-profit and trade organizations devoted to organic agriculture and related environmental causes, including Farm Aid, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), the Help Wanted Organic Farmers Campaign, and The Organic Center. Horizon Organic has also been recognized with an EPA Green Power Partnership Award for its support of renewable wind energy.
The company's commitment to the family farm is exemplified through the Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) program, which recruits and supports hundreds of organic family farms across the country. Currently, 80% of Horizon Organic's milk is supplied by 363 certified organic family farmers from 18 states, and an additional 228 family farmers are in the process of converting to organic through the HOPE program.
On Horizon Organic's company-owned farms and the farms of its partners, all animals that supply the milk enjoy the holistic benefits of organic management practices. This includes a preventive approach to healthcare, ample room to roam outdoors and display natural behaviors, and a 100% vegetarian, certified organic diet.
Consumers can now enjoy the organic goodness of Horizon milk on-the-go with the Horizon Organic UHT 1% Low-Fat Chocolate Milk Boxes. These shelf-stable, single-serve milk boxes are great for lunchboxes and snacking, providing a wholesome alternative to juice boxes. Each box of organic milk offers many nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin D, and 8 grams of protein, without the need for refrigeration.
Horizon Organic's commitment to the health of its families, the environment, and the organic community is a cherished part of its heritage. As the organic industry continues to evolve, Horizon Organic remains dedicated to providing consumers with the best, great-tasting organic dairy products that make a positive difference in their lives today and in the future.
