  At Horizon Organic, we are proud to work with nearly 600 family farms across the country. This month we would like to introduce you to Wenger Farm.

For Virgil Wenger, shipping his first certified organic milk was a milestone many years in the making. "It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time," says Virgil, who had been exploring organic practices for nearly a decade before seeking formal certification. "I didn’t like messing in those chemicals. I thought there had to be a better way." Virgil and his wife Julia note that with organic, the cows are happier, the fields are healthier and their four children are having more fun. "It’s more of a family life - the children can go with me in the fields because there’s no big equipment for them to fall off."
 
 
Dear Friend,

Want to know why Horizon Organic® milk is produced with NO pesticides? Watch our new “Know Your No’s” video that explains why organic farming with no pesticides is so important, especially for growing children. Studies show that kids who eat mostly organic foods have far lower levels of pesticide residue than those who eat non-organic foods. Watch the video now to learn more. And if you like it, tell a friend!

Horizon Organic has joined forces with Dr. Alan Greene to further our shared mission to educate parents on the health benefits of organic foods and to expand the number of healthy, organic products available to all consumers. Soon we will be adding tips and health information from Dr.Greene on our website. Be sure to keep checking our website for new tips and information.
     
  Horizon Organic Tortilla Torte

Delicate layers of flour tortilla and rich chocolate create a beautiful and easy dessert.

Yield: 12 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour +
Level of difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
  • 2 cups Horizon Organic® sour cream
  • 1 (12 oz.) package semisweet chocolate chips
  • 10 (7-inch) organic flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup organic strawberry or raspberry jam
Garnish
  • 2 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped or ground
  • 1 cup organic strawberries, sliced
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or saucepan over low heat. Add 1 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Mix well.
Place one flour tortilla on a serving platter and frost with about 1/4 cup of the chocolate mixture. Top with another tortilla and continue alternating chocolate mixture and tortillas. Halfway through, create one layer with strawberry jam instead of chocolate, then continue alternating tortillas and chocolate, ending with the last tortilla.
Combine remaining 1 cup sour cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Frost top and sides of torte. Cover with an inverted bowl or a “tent” of aluminum foil. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight.
To serve, decorate torte with chopped chocolate and sliced strawberries then cut into thin slices.
