Know Your Farmer | Milkhouse Dairy Farm and Creamery | Real Organic Project
Interesting video about the 30% pasture law for labeling milk as grass fed in the US, and the way big companies like horizon and stonyfield are making it difficult for small dairy farms to thrive and survive.
From the website:
A Washington Post investigative report in 2017 asserted that Aurora, the large certified organic CAFO was not meeting the USDA Organic Pasture Rule requirements. In addition, Aurora milk tested nutritionally similar to conventional milk, lacking the omega-3’s and conjugated linoleic acids found in milk from organic pastured cows. Unlike many small dairies across the country, Caitlin and Andy have found a way to differentiate their milk from USDA organic and thrive amidst the industrial take-over of organic dairy.
