In order to make more money, some food companies like to take shortcuts—persistent chemicals, artificial hormones and synthetic ingredients. That’s not us. Instead, we rely on many generations of farming wisdom, combined with the latest science on regenerative agriculture, to make food that’s good for you and the planet. Turns out doing things the hard way is also the smart way. We let our animals grow naturally and produce milk and eggs on their own schedules. They’re never treated with synthetic hormones that could end up in your family’s food.

Just like you don’t want your kids or yourself to constantly be exposed to antibiotics, we don’t want our animals to either. Organic Valley farmers instead use natural holistic measures to treat animals in organic production. However, if an animal is ever sick, our farmers administer medications and the animal is permanently removed from the herd.
