There Is an Alternative.

NOB HILL--Sometime long ago I remembered that Creamland said they didn't use suppliers of milk from rBGH injected cows. Just to be sure I checked with them by e-mail. Here is the response I got from Connie Holdren.

Creamland does not add any hormones to the raw milk we receive, and we have documentation from the milk coop we purchase our raw milk from indicating that the current producers supplying us do not use hormones. They continue to monitor this. This cannot be guaranteed if for some reason we would have to receive our raw milk from an alternate source due to an unusual supply situation.

So if price is not your only consideration, here is a locally produced brand that probably has no added rBGH in the cow herd. Creamland, by the way, is owned by Dean Foods.
