Organic milk

OK, so I decided to give DD organic milk because I am afraid of the hormones and antibiotics in regular milk. I know the hormone part may be a bit controversial, but as a pharmacist, I really think he antibiotic part is a concern.

Anyway, when I was in the store yesterday buying milk, I saw on the label for Farmland Dairies that it says, "No hormones or antibiotics added". So, if they're not using these chemicals, is there a reason to continue using organic milk? Does anybody know if there is a difference other than the hormones and antibiotics? Farmland is certainly alot cheaper than the organic, and if it is just as good, I will start saving my money now.

I was wondering the same thing because that is my concern as well. I think the difference might be in what they feed the cows they get the milk from making sure they aren't eating anything full of pesticides or chemicals.

I just make sure the label says hormone and antibiotic free. I have been using regular milk

Re: Organic milk

I think when it comes to organic milk it means more that the grain fed to the cows are organic and nothing artifical is added to their feed. I bought it once and then I said forget. I buy Farmland whole milk since it does say no hormones added.

I use Farmland and it's only $2.23a gallon at Sam's. If you are concerned only about the hormones and antibiotics, then I would just use it. If you care about what the cows eat, then stay with organic.
