Why Organic?

The average farm in the United States contains the most nutrient depleted soil of any nation on earth. As a result, American citizens are fast becoming the most unhealthy people on earth.

It all started about 60 years ago after the end of World War II. Farmers began being bombarded with chemical sales people who were trying to convince farmers that they needed to use artificial fertilizers to increase there crop yields thereby increasing their profits. Later these same chemical sales people also convinced farmers to use poison sprays on their fields to prevent bugs from destroying their crops which by now were lacking nutrients and were fast become unfit for human consumption.

What most farmers don't realize, is the fact that God created those bugs to destroy any crops which are unfit for human consumption. If they would raise more perfect food, these destructive bugs would be few and not be a problem. But many would rather destroy the bugs which are there to protect us, and force us to eat toxic food which is bound to destroy our health.

So how can farmers improve their soil and produce health promoting food?

If we go to the library and study a book on earth worms, we will discover that the common earth worm makes perfect soil. The more earth worms in the soil, the more perfect the soil. The average farm in America is almost totally void of earth worms. Worms can not live on artificial fertilizer. It takes compost and natural fertilizer like our forefathers used, to create abundant earth worms.

This is why we only work with organic farms in making our cheese. These dairy farms never use artificial fertilizers, never use toxic sprays, never use synthetic hormones to force their cows to produce more milk than they were created to produce. These cows were created to live on grass and hay to produce milk with a total nutrient balance. So they are never fed any grains. Also, these cows are only milked while they are eating grass. They are not milked over the winter months which results in extremely healthy cows.

In other words, These small family farms which are making our grass fed raw milk cheese, are farming the way their forefathers farmed 100 years ago. They are producing the most perfect, nutritious, and delicious cheese products on planet earth.
