These Ham & Cheese Egg Muffins have all the right ingredients: eggs, ham, cheese, peppers, and Horizon Organic Milk. We’re big on Horizon Organic, and have been ever since we realized the importance of buying organic dairy.

There are so many benefits, from environmental to health to animal rights. And once you understand them? You’ll never go back.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE BUYING ORGANIC DAIRY?

It’s better for the environment. Organic rules are designed to conserve wildlife, maintain or enhance soil & water quality, preserve the diversity of plants and animals, and encourage use of wholistic and natural farming practices.
It’s better for our health. Organic dairy is non-GMO and free of antibiotics, growth hormones, and toxic or persistent pesticides. All of this equates to product that’s better for our health.
It’s better for the cows. Organic cows eat a diet of organic food and spend a minimum of 120 days/year grazing. They have access to the outdoors year-round and are provided with shade, shelter, exercise, fresh air, and direct sunlight. They’re kept in clean, healthy, low-stress environments, and producers must use approved preventative healthcare treatments and practices.

WHAT OTHER ORGANIC DAIRY PRODUCTS DOES HORIZON MAKE?

In addition to organic milk, Horizon makes organic cheese, yogurt, cream, butter, cottage cheese, sour cream, and even eggnog.
