Organic Farming
More and more farmers are expressing an interest in organic farm operations, complimenting a growing segment of consumers who want their families to receive the health benefits associated with organic dairy products. (Visit "Our Products" pages for more information about the benefits of organic dairy.)
Naturally Iowa stands committed to offering our customers the highest level of quality and standards for each of our superior dairy products. Each of the farms that produce raw milk for us, therefore, follows organic farming practices that earn them certification through the Iowa Department of Land Stewardship and Agriculture and/or other certified qualifying agencies for USDA approval.
The National Organic Standards Board set standards that prohibit the use of synthetic materials, and regulate production and handling, as well as labeling for all organic products. USDA accredited certifying agents review information and perform on-site visits to determine eligibility. If a farm passes these inspections, it earns the USDA Organic Seal.
Naturally Iowa farms participate in this national process, and Naturally Iowa products have earned the right to display the National Organic Seal on their labeling information. Each of these steps, from local and state through national certification adds another level of comfort and security for you as a consumer, with the guarantee that your family receives the best that dairy products have to offer.
ALL NATURAL DAIRIES
In addition to organic certified dairies, Naturally Iowa sources milk that is rBST-free–-all-natural. This flexibility allows for the manufacturing of products at a slightly lower price point than the Naturally Iowa Organic Line.
