Organic agricultural practices are important because they make a positive impact on our environment and help reduce resource degradation by respecting the earth and nurturing animals.
You can feel good knowing that when you buy Horizon Organic® products you are helping to convert hundreds of thousands of acres to organic agriculture.
For land to be certified organic, farmers are not allowed to use harmful chemicals that can pollute the air, water and food. Instead, they use sustainable farming techniques like crop rotation and composting to improve soil fertility, and use non-toxic materials to control pests.
Organic Farming Methods Impact our Earth by:
- Eliminating the use of toxic and persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers
- Replenishing and maintaining soil fertility
- Using less fossil fuels
- Conserving water in the soil
- Causing less erosion
- Conserving more biological resources than conventional farming
Horizon Organic farmers are also committed to the humane treatment of animals. Our cows are raised and nurtured with respect for their natural behaviors and are kept in good health by giving them 100% vegetarian, certified organic feed, fresh air and pasture.
