History of Horizon Organic History of Horizon Organic
1991 Not so very long ago there were very few organic dairy products in the marketplace. Natural products industry veterans, Mark Retzloff and Paul Repetto, embarked on a search for organic milk in order to make organic dairy products available in the marketplace. They happened upon a cooperative of small organic dairy farmers in Wisconsin.


1992 From the discovery of that organic oasis, Horizon Organic® yogurt, the company's first product was introduced.

1993 A year after the successful debut of Horizon Organic yogurt, we introduced our first line of certified organic milk in half gallons.

1994 To try to keep up with escalating demand for organic milk, we purchased our first dairy farm located in southern Idaho while continuing to source milk from more and more organic family farmer partners throughout the country.

1997 We bought our second farm, on the eastern shore of Maryland.

Today Horizon Organic is the nation's leading brand of certified organic milk, with a full line of USDA certified organic dairy products. Organic is all we do. And doing it right is all we will ever do.

We proudly source organic milk from over 360 family farms and cooperatives across the country, and that number is growing every day. We have contributed to converting hundreds or thousands of acres to organic farmland. We continue to help hundreds of farmers throughout the country transition to organic production to help provide more great tasting certified organic dairy foods to our consumers.
