Good deal, too bad it's not really organic
KayMMIV reviewed October 7, 2008 at 10:19 am

I picked these up because they were on half off sale at a local grocery store which made them cheaper then even conventional lactose free milk. They taste fine, but from doing some research I was disappointed to find that Horizon has been caught time and again trying to pull the wool over our eyes about the fact that they are not really organic. that the feed to the cows is conventional (after the feed they used to initially get their organic stamp they switched back) that the cows that are labels 'organic' milk cows are processed in the same plants as their counterparts under the same conditions. this made me very sad to see a manufacturer obviously not care about being organic, just using it to make a buck. I believe something is currently underway that will either hopefully loose the organic stamp for horizon, or get them to truly be, and stay organic.

1/2 a gallon fo red, 1/2 a gallon of white
JustaBitGreen reviewed December 15, 2008 at 2:49 pm

There is always either a 1/2 a gallon of white Horizion milk or a 1/2 of red Horizon milk in my fridge. I'm a Trader Joe's type of milk guy - a gallon of whole milk. I recently tried the Horizon milk since my roomate always drinks this brand. It felt really weird at first because it didn't have the thickness and wasn't as flavorful as my Trader Joe's brand. I also saw the price tag on it and I don't think I'd pay $4 for half a gallon of milk - that's just too pricey.

I had this milk a few weeks back and it was great tasting and organic!  The only down side was the price...

I grew up on this stuff....

 Horizon Organic Nonfat milk was what I grew up on...  Great stuff.  I'd still buy it as frequently today if it weren't so expensive...it's always significantly more than other brands (even other organic brands ) -- at least that's my in-store impression.  At any rate, good products (I like their yogurts, too!), but pricey.

Organic milk
SoCalSolar reviewed September 17, 2008 at 3:35 am

We have a few different types of organic milk that pass through our home - depending on where we were able to shop more efficiently... Horizon is one of the brands you may find in our fridge - never had a problem with it.  We typically buy the fat-free variety. 

 

Dean Foods / Horizon / Aurora Organic problems seem to be having some issues regarding keeping to the standards for USDA Organic certification - recommended to look into this more.

Good Milk
greengirl68 reviewed September 25, 2008 at 6:59 am

 It's a good product.  My son likes this milk.  I like that it's organic and the cows get fresh air. It is pricey, but everything is now.  I do usually get a different brand because I like the little plastic cap that keeps the milk fresher and it's easier to pour.
