Horizon Organic 1% Low Fat Milk Boxes, Chocolate, 18 Pack

Horizon Organic, America's first nationally distributed organic dairy brand, was founded in 1991 and has been a pioneer in the organic movement. Together with other industry leaders, the company's founders played a key role in developing the National Organic Standards and the USDA Organic Seal. Horizon Organic has continued to lead the organic industry with insight, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to organic principles as the industry has evolved.

The company is committed to the long-term success of the organic community and is passionate about the health of families and the environment. Horizon Organic supports family farmers and promotes animal stewardship, with a strict and unwavering adherence to upholding the rigorous organic standards that are a cherished part of the company's heritage.

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 supplying feed to the company's operations. On the company's Maryland farm, organic practices have transformed previously mismanaged land with dangerously high phosphorous levels into permanent organic pasture. Horizon Organic sponsors numerous non-profit and trade organizations devoted to organic agriculture and related environmental causes, and has been recognized with an EPA Green Power Partnership Award for its support of renewable wind energy.

Through the Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) program, the company recruits and supports hundreds of organic family farms across the country. 80% of Horizon Organic's milk is supplied by 363 certified organic family farmers from 18 states, with the balance coming from the company's two certified organic dairies in Idaho and Maryland. 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 of the animals that supply the company's milk enjoy the holistic benefits of organic management practices: a preventive approach to healthcare that minimizes illness by providing a sanitary environment, proper nutrition, and compassionate, attentive daily care; room to roam outdoors and to display natural behaviors; and a 100% vegetarian, certified organic diet of active grazing during the growing season, supplemented by certified organic feed.

Horizon Organic's shelf-stable, single-serve chocolate milk boxes offer the organic goodness of Horizon milk for on-the-go convenience. These milk boxes are great for lunchboxes and snacking, providing a wholesome alternative to juice boxes. Each box contains certified USDA Organic milk from happy cows raised by Horizon Organic's trusted farmer partners, with no antibiotics, persistent pesticides, or added hormones*. The milk boxes offer many nutrients, including calcium, vitamin A, and 8 grams of protein, all while locking in delicious taste without refrigeration.
