I found a very unusual substance in a new carton of Horizon Organic whole milk. It looks like a very thin membrane, clear and about 3 inches long. Emailed Horizon and unfortunately, have not received a respones. I want to know what it is since I feed this brand milk to my toddler.

You state in your post that Horizon Organic milk company supports small family farms. Unfortunately this in not the case. They are misleading consumers and dealing unethically with producers. They claim to get their milk from small, family-owned farms when they are actually driving these exact farms out of business. Horizon is not honoring contracts with small farmers, but instead getting their milk from their OWN company mega-dairy. They are misleading consumers by stating, on their website and in their literature, that they are comprised of small family dairies, when in fact, much of their milk comes from dairies with more than 500 cows.

One dairyman, Mr. Don Halverson, the owner of a small 50-cow dairy in Idaho, has shared his story of Horizon committing verbally to take his milk once he completed the expensive organic certification process, only to refuse to honor that agreement after he’d invested the thousands of dollars and time required. His letter is found http://sites.google.com/site/integrityinbusiness/Integrityinbusiness/donhalversonstory

I’d love to try it too – please enter me. Is it available at your average grocery store or just the healthy ones?

Did you get those through BzzAgent?

Just curious because it was a BzzAgent WoM campaign and I didn’t get offered it. But since I didn’t see you mention BzzAgent then I was just wondering how you were offered free ones. What else you get offered and how I can sign up!

We’ve been buying this milk for Thing Two – she’s got moo juice issues – and she seems to like it, too.

Maybe I should give it a try, then…huh.
