Both methods of farming, Arizona Organic and Conventional farming are more alike than different. They both have well-established markets. They both use approved pesticides and they both feed us with the same level of nutrition.

June is Dairy month! 97% of milk in our Arizona grocery stores comes from our local Arizona dairies where the cows make the freshest milk, cheese, and yogurt. A dairy cow will produce 7 to 8 gallons of milk every day.

Look at Labels for products with “Milk” in the title: Dairy milk’s ingredient list is short —milk, vitamins A, and D. Non-dairy ingredient lists can be much longer and have 10 or more additives. Choose dairy milk, it’s real milk.
