Indeed it is! Organic Valley's standards exceed others in the dairy business for both handling & feeding of the cows. Other organic milk suppliers have been fined numerous times for "breakning the rules" and source their milk form huge 'industrial' milk farms.

Also, Organic Valley is a cooperative so their farmers get more pay for their hard work!
