The fact that it is made by grass-fed cows makes all the difference in the taste and health benefits of milk."

This , and every day, we're proud of the commitment and work that Maple Hill, Teton Waters Ranch and p a c t are doing to leave our environment better than how we found it:

🌳 Maple Hill only produces 100% grass-fed organic products that result from regenerative agriculture practices. Only grass is used to feed Maple Hill cows -- no corn, no grain -- which decreases the carbon footprint of dairy farming, and actually improves the land we farm. Recently, they were named a recipient of the USDA's Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grants. With these, they will help grow grass-fed organic dairy opportunities for small family dairy farmers and enhance industry leading climate-smart practices.

🌳 Teton Waters Ranch opted out of the conventional methods of mass production used today. Their regenerative agriculture approach allows cattle to roam freely and graze on native grasses to restore the land, improve soil, and help reverse the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration. ⁠

🌳 p a c t ensures their products and processes support the planet. Compared to conventional farming, organic farming results in cleaner air, better soil, safer farming, and fewer toxins in clothing. It also uses 81% less water and 62% less energy to be produced. Pact is committed to reforestation, renewable energy practices, and community projects that sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
