Minnesota-based Old Home Foods has added a locally produced organic milk to its portfolio. The company believes that, by sourcing the milk locally, it's able to reduce the carbon footprint on the environment and provide consumers with the freshest milk possible without using ultra-pasteurisation techniques to extend shelf life.

Old Home’s Organic milk cartons are also made with renewable energy and are 100% recyclable.

“Organic products are in high demand from today’s consumers who care more about health, community and environment,” said Old Home Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Dave Holdsworth. “The timing is perfect to offer locally produced organic milk for those individuals and families seeking the pure and wholesome benefits of milk without the worry of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides.”

Old Home Organic milk is certified by the Midwest Organic Services Association (MOSA). It's available in gallon and half gallon sizes in whole, 2%, 1% and skim varieties.
