i’m curious, do you drink real milk or have a favorite alternative? i ask because these days it’s pretty confusing as to what the best option is. personally, i drink real milk, so i wanted to share my go-to brands. these brands prioritize the health and comfort of their animals based on my own research.  it’s very important to me that brands are actually following organic farming practices. here’s a link to their organic dairy scorecard: cornucopia scorecard dairy. they all have a cow-rating of 4, which is excellent. 5 which is top-rated is milk from actual farms. happy cows = healthy milk, it’s simple. 

Maple Hill – this is on the expensive side of milk purchases but it’s a good choice of milk. no growth hormones or antibiotics for these cows. 100% grass fed. grass fed milk is superior because cows are eating grass (which is more natural to cows and their digestion) than grain. grass fed animals are healthier and in turn provide healthier milk and meat. 

Organic Valley – they are committed to quality for sure and their milk is how milk should taste. this is milk you drink and you feel good and refreshed drinking it. with this milk, you don’t need to anything extra to your coffee for example. it’s a good source of flavor on it’s own. 

Stonyfield Organic – they are obsessively organic. this is what we purchase over and over in our home. it’s good in cereal, coffee, baking. it’s good in everything. it’s fresh and light, it lasts long, and worth the price.
