NEW – Lactose-free, organic, cream-top, reduced-fat milk!



This is as delicious and rich as all of our other organic, cream-top milks – and of course it is also non-homogenized, non-GMO Project Verified, kosher and gluten free. Our new Lactose-Free Milk comes with all the same taste and nutritional benefits of regular milk – just minus the lactose.

To save our planet!
 
We reuse the glass bottles an average of 8 times. That's even better then recycling!
 
A significant number of plastic milk containers go into California landfills. Those of you that are drinking our milk in glass are preventing waste from going into the dumps! Read about our thoughts on glass and plastic milk containers...
