Horizon Organic was founded in 1991 as America's first nationally distributed organic dairy brand. Together with other industry leaders, the company's founders played a pivotal role in developing the National Organic Standards and the USDA Organic Seal. Horizon Organic has pioneered practices for organic dairy farming and land stewardship, and is privileged to work with some of the industry's top experts in land conservation, organic agriculture, and animal welfare.

As the organic industry continues to evolve, Horizon Organic remains committed to the long-term success of the organic community. The company is passionate about the health of families and the environment, supporting family farmers and promoting animal stewardship. Horizon Organic's strict and unwavering adherence to upholding rigorous organic standards is a cherished part of its heritage - organic is all they have ever done, and all they will ever do.

Horizon Organic's Idaho dairy was the first large certified organic dairy in the country, now supporting more than 30,000 organic acres, including the cropland supplying feed to its 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 animals that supply Horizon Organic milk enjoy the holistic benefits of organic management practices. This includes a preventive approach to healthcare that minimizes illness, room to roam outdoors and display natural behaviors, and a 100% vegetarian, certified organic diet. Importantly, the cows are given no antibiotics, persistent pesticides, or added hormones.

Horizon Organic's single-serve plain milk boxes offer the organic goodness of Horizon milk for on-the-go convenience. Great as a lunchbox stuffer or snack, these shelf-stable, ultra-pasteurized milk boxes provide a wholesome alternative to juice boxes. Each box of Horizon Organic milk is a source of many nutrients, including calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and 8 grams of protein, without the need for refrigeration or preservatives.
