History

Horizon Organic was established in 1991 with the aim of providing consumers with high-quality organic dairy products. Chuck Marcy, the founder of the company, recognized the growing demand for organic food and saw an opportunity to create a brand that focused on organic milk and dairy products.

In 1994, Horizon Organic became the first company to supply organic milk to a national grocery store chain. This marked a significant milestone for the organic food industry, as it demonstrated the increasing popularity and acceptance of organic products among consumers.

Over the years, Horizon Organic expanded its product line to include a variety of organic dairy products, such as cheese, butter, yogurt, and eggs. The company's commitment to organic farming practices and sustainable agriculture has made it a trusted brand among consumers seeking organic options.

Products

Horizon Organic offers a wide range of organic dairy products. Its flagship product is organic milk, which is produced from cows that are raised on organic feed and graze on organic pastures. The company ensures that its milk is free from antibiotics, added hormones, and pesticides.

In addition to organic milk, Horizon Organic also produces other dairy products, including cheese, butter, yogurt, and eggs. These products are made using the same high standards of organic farming and are certified by reputable organic certification organizations.

Sustainability Initiatives

Horizon Organic is committed to promoting sustainable agriculture and reducing its environmental impact. The company works closely with its network of organic farmers to ensure that they follow sustainable farming practices, such as soil conservation, water management, and biodiversity preservation.

Furthermore, Horizon Organic supports initiatives that promote the well-being of animals and the welfare of farmers. The company actively advocates for organic farming policies and invests in research and development to improve organic farming techniques.
