After all the talk about organic vs. regular milk last night...

Jessi+Aiden

Just wanted to give those of you who were interested some info on places that sell hormone free milk even though it is not organic. I know many of you live in places where organic food sellers are hard to come by, but milk doesn't have to be organic to be rBST free! Hope this helps someone.

Winder Farms, a home delivery dairy and grocer in Utah and Nevada, sells rBST-free milk.

Guernsey Farms, a dairy farm and distributor located in Northville, Michigan sells and distributes rBST-free dairy products in Southeastern Michigan. Their milk has been labeled rBST free for a number of years.

Safeway in the northwestern United States stopped buying from dairy farmers that use rBST in January 2007. The two Safeway plants produce milk for all of Oregon, Southwest Washington, and parts of northern California. Safeway's plant in San Leandro, CA had already been rBST-free for two years.

Chipotle Mexican Grill has also announced it will serve rBST-free sour cream at its restaurants.

Kroger has banned rBST-derived milk from all its stores (including its subsidiaries such as Ralphs) as of February 2008,

Publix announced it has been rBST-free since May, 2007.

Braum's has also issued a press release stating its milk is rBST-free.

Starbucks Company has as of January 2008 made all dairy in beverages rBST free.

Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores featured artificial-hormone-free "Great Value" brand milk, but did not label it as such in 2008.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream uses milk and cream from dairy farms that have pledged not to use rBST.
