Crescent Ridge Dairy
I'm not a huge chocolate milk fan, but Haven picked up some Crescent Ridge chocolate milk recently at the Whole Foods on Prospect in Cambridge -- and he loved it.
A blast from the past, Crescent Ridge does home delivery throughout the Boston metro area. (When I was growing up in Des Moines in the 1970's, we used to get our milk delivered. I didn't think any company still did this.) They also bottle their milk in glass bottles, which are returnable, recyclable, or reusable. We're using ours as a vase.
The company's Web site says, "all Crescent Ridge milk is from cows not treated with the rBST growth hormone." Its homepage also has pictures of cows munching on grass out in a field -- but I wanted to make sure this wasn't just propaganda, so I emailed Crescent Ridge to ask about the cows' diet and access to
pasture.
Marketing Manager Brad took the time to respond: "The cows are treated very well. All of our whole milk comes from the Howrigan Farm up in Northern Vermont and is a very awarded farm. The have 500 head of Holstein that are fed corn grown on their property. The cows are also out in the Pasteur to feed on grass through the day. None of the cows are treated with growth hormones to increase the milking. Our Skim milk comes from various different farms in the Vermont area from a Coop called St. Albans. Crescent Ridge Dairy pays a premium to receive milk that comes from cows that are not treated with growth hormones. St Albans has many inspections to the farms that are part of the coop to make sure the quality is of the highest." Thanks, Brad!
