Kalona Organic Yogurt
Yogurt That’s Low Sugar, Low Carb!
Cultural Revolution is the newest product from Kalona Organics. This true, European-style, organic yogurt uses only the freshest, most natural ingredients, and—here’s the revolutionary part—it delivers naturally sweet, creamy taste without all the sugar, carbs, calories and sodium contained in most other yogurts. In fact, Cultural Revolution has as much as 1/3 less sugar than other yogurts. So how did we create a yogurt that is so good for you and tastes so good? We simply let nature do what she does best, and she delivered. Our yogurt is made exclusively of organic whole milk and rich, creamy organic butterfat that contains vitamins A and D. Gently processed and never homogenized: Cultural Revolution has a pure flavor and texture that will transform your taste buds.
Why Does it Look Different?
Cultural Revolution looks different because it is different. We wanted to create a true European-style, organic yogurt. But we knew in order to do this it was essential to avoid using unnecessary stabilizers or thickeners that are in most other yogurts. The result is a yogurt that has a clean and natural marbled texture that tends to be thinner (looser) than most American-made yogurts.
Typically yogurts made in the United States have textures that are smooth, thick, or whipped. You see these textures because thickeners or stabilizers are added to mask the natural marbled texture of the cultured milk. Over processing of foods, like yogurt, brings confusion to what we expect is normal when it comes to food. At Kalona Organics, we make it easy to demystify food. That’s because you can rest assured that we always bring you yogurt in its truly natural state.
So Much Flavor. So Many Choices.

Kalona Organic Milk
It Simply Tastes Better
Since March of 2004, Farmers' All-Natural Creamery Milk has delivered organic, cream-top milk that stands apart in quality and taste. The milk comes largely from small, Amish / Mennonite family farms where the average daily herd is 30 cows and where most of the work is still done by hand. Many of these farms—most of which are on about 80 tillable acres—have been in the same family for 150 years and have never been touched by chemical herbicides or pesticides.
Fresh and Full of NutrientsWhat has our customers raving about our milk? The simple fact is that our Grade A milk has substantially more nutrients than conventional milk and it is much fresher when it reaches the grocery shelf. Our milk is non-homogenized (left in its natural state) and VAT pasteurized, meaning it is pasteurized at the lowest temperature (145 degrees F) that can be used and still meet pasteurization standards. VAT pasteurization heats at half the temperature of a UHT process (cooked milk) and 30 or more degrees less than the HTST method (standard fresh milk pasteurizing). What all of this means is that our milk not only tastes fresh, it is fresh. It does not have the “cooked” or “burnt” flavor found in ultra pasteurized milk. And you can be guaranteed that it won’t be sitting on the grocery shelf with a 57 day shelf life like other ultra pasteurized milk. With Kalona Organics and Farmers’ All Natural Creamery you are truly getting farm fresh milk.
So why don’t other companies use the VAT pasteurized method? Because it takes longer and costs more, but the end result is higher quality, fresher milk.
Natural, Creamline
Because our milk is non-homogenized the cream naturally floats to the top and thickens. This is the true sign of milk in its natural state. The cream naturally separates and rises to the top, allowing customers to skim it off or shake it into the milk. This cream is rich in vitamins and minerals, and it’s easier on the digestion system.

No GMOs or Added Hormones
Our milk also contains no added hormones and comes from cows that are all vegetarian fed with non-GMO feed. The result of these processes means customers get the freshest and most natural milk that can be sold in a store. It is exactly what natural food consumers and those looking for healthy food choices for their families are hoping to find.

Quality You Can See
Our milk is packaged in a unique, clear bottle that harkens back to the days of old. It’s been specially designed to seal in freshness. The bottle is made of a PET material that does not leach into the milk and is the only PET dairy bottle in the marketplace that has ultraviolet blockers protecting the goodness of our milk from harmful UV rays, which can breakdown vital components milk naturally offers.

Kalona Organic Cottage Cheese
What Makes Farmers’ All Natural Creamery Organic Cottage Cheese Authentic?
It’s what goes into, or should we say, doesn’t go into Farmers’ All Natural Creamery organic cottage cheese that makes it authentic. When you read most ingredient labels today for cottage cheese you see a long list of words that you can’t pronounce or have no idea what they are- guar gum, xantham gum, locust bean gum, etc. These things are added to speed the process for making cottage cheese, create uniform textures, and/or extend shelf life.
These practices are so universal one might think these ingredients constitute “authentic” cottage cheese. Not so. Cottage cheese is yet another food that industrialization altered from its original quality.
Just as its name suggests, cottage cheese was first made in the kitchens of country cottages where staple ingredients (non-homogenized milk, cream, and cultures) were used to slowly make the simple cheese that came to be known as cottage cheese. We persist in practicing that original method by using just non-homogenized milk, cream, salt, and cultures to make Farmers’ All Natural Creamery organic cottage cheese. These basic ingredients give our cottage cheese such pure texture and full cheese flavor that you will realize the slippery, pasty textures and bland flavors the industrialized food movement brought to cottage cheese. Your first experience of trying Farmers’ All Natural Creamery organic cottage cheese will make it your favorite.

Sassy Cow Organic Milk
Organic vs. Traditional Milk
So what's the difference between Sassy Cow Creamery organic and traditional milk? Sassy Cow Creamery is in the unique situation of having both organic and traditional milk. Brothers James and Robert own and operate both dairy herds that supply milk to the creamery. We have 100% confidence in all of the milk we produce, organic or traditional. The bovine growth hormone (rBGH) has never been used on any of our cattle since we started to farm and will not be used in the future. So what are the differences between the two and which one should I be buying? First off, the cows are treated with the same care and compassion at both farms. The tools available for treating any health issues are different for each farm. As an organic herd, no antibiotics are administered to the cattle. In the traditional herd, if a health concern such as a swollen foot were to develop, we would use an antibiotic to cure the infection and reduce the swelling. The milk from that cow is withheld from the tank while she is being treated and then her milk is tested to be clear of any residue before her milk goes into the tank again. The greatest difference between the two herds is the acreage the feed is grown on. The feeds grown for the organic herd are grown without the use of any herbicides or commercial fertilizers. The feed grown for the traditional herd is grown on acres that are treated to kill weeds. It is easiest to understand this if you think of your lawn and how you care for it. You can choose to care for your lawn using conventional or organic practices. The same applies for the crops grown to feed our cattle. For you, the choice between traditional and organic milk comes down to your beliefs and personal preferences. Both milks are completely safe and nutritious. If you have chosen a lifestyle that includes organic products and practices, we fully support you. If organic isn't something that is important to you but still want to know where your milk comes from and are concerned about how those cows are cared for, we are committed to you as well. |
Green Meadow Organic Eggs
Why Our Eggs are So Wonderful...
Oberweis All-natural milk, yogurt, cottage cheese
As it turns out, all the choices of eggs at your supermarket aren't providing you much of a choice at all.
Recent tests conducted by Mother Earth News magazine have shown once again that eggs from chickens that range freely on pasture provide clear nutritional benefits over eggs from confinement operations. Mother Earth News collected samples from 14 pastured flocks across the country and had them tested at an accredited laboratory. The results were compared to official US Department of Agriculture data for commercial eggs. Results showed the pastured eggs contained an amazing:

Mother Earth News collected samples from 14 pastured flocks across the country and had them tested at an accredited laboratory. The results were compared to official US Department of Agriculture data for commercial eggs. Results showed the pastured eggs contained an amazing:
1/3 less cholesterol than commercial eggs
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
7 times more beta carotene
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
7 times more beta carotene
Eggs from hens raised outdoors on pasture have from three to six times more vitamin D than eggs from hens raised in confinement. Pastured hens are exposed to direct sunlight, which their bodies convert to vitamin D and then pass on to the eggs. Vitamin D is best known for its role in building strong bones. New research shows that it can also enhance the immune system, improve mood, reduce blood pressure, combat cancer, and reduce the risk of some autoimmune disorders. This latest good news about eggs comes from a study just released by Mother Earth News, a magazine that plays a leading role in promoting health-enhancing, natural foods. The editors found that eating just two eggs will give you from 63-126% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.
Note that this benefit comes only from hens that are free to graze fresh greens, eat bugs, and bask in the sun. Most of the eggs sold in the supermarket do not meet this criterion. Even though the label says that the eggs are "certified organic" or come from "uncaged" or "free-range" hens or from hens fed an "all-vegetarian" diet, this is no guarantee that the hens had access to the outdoors or pasture.

Oberweis All Natural Milk
There are many reasons our milk tastes as delicious and rich as it does! Many people think it's just the glass bottle, and while our signature glass bottles certainly protect the flavor of our milk, it really is much more than that. In fact it all starts at the farm...
Milk Quality At the Farm
We start with the highest quality milk available:
* Family Farms and The Oberweis Farmer’s Pledge: Our small-herd family farmers make certain commitments to Oberweis Dairy and our customers that ultimately produce the highest quality milk available. Click here to read the Oberweis Farmer’s Pledge.
* Measurable Quality: We measure somatic cell counts (SCC) and pay our farmers a substantial premium to achieve low somatic cell counts. An important measurement of the quality of raw milk, low somatic cell counts indicate a healthy cow. State laws allow 750,000 SCC/ml in raw milk. Oberweis milk can only have a maximum of 250,000 SCC/ml, and most of our producers are in the 100,000 – 150,000 range.
* No Artificial Hormones: The use of the bovine growth hormone (rBGH) is NOT permitted on Oberweis farms, just as on organic farms. Most of our farmers would never even consider using rBGH on the cows because it tends to make the cow more susceptible to infections. This is inconsistent with the great care they provide for their herds. We pay our farmers a substantial premium not to use rBGH.
* Humane Treatment of Cows: Our small-herd family farmers know their cows by name and treat them accordingly. Their farms are designed to maximize the comfort of the cows rather than the cows’ milk production. By focusing on their animals’ comfort, our farmers have happier and healthier cows that produce higher quality milk.
