Oberweis!

We decided to sign up for Oberweis home delivery of dairy products! Like most of my decisions lately revolving around becoming as healthy as I can be before we start having kids...this one is due to the fact that Oberweis cows are not given growth hormones. In addition, they have a document available on the website stating all of their gluten free items...awesome! We aren't going to go crazy and get everything there (it is more expensive...but really not significantly)...but we'll get milk (we already buy Oberweis milk from Cub here in town), cheese, sour cream, and maybe eggs. Oh, and the occasional quart of delicious ice cream! Their ice cream is awesome!!

Here's the Farmers' Pledge from the Oberweis website!

Our Farmers' Pledge
Our pledge is signed by all the farmers who produce and supply milk exclusively for Oberweis Dairy.
We, the families who care for cows that produce milk for Oberweis Dairy, are proud to pledge that we will:
Never use artificial growth hormones.
Only provide milk that is free of antibiotics. If a cow gets sick, we will treat her back to health using the best available medicines but not use her milk again until it is free of antibiotics.
Treat our cows humanely.
Do nothing different than if our children and families were drinking all of the milk we produce.
We pledge all of this so that your family can drink Oberweis milk with confidence. We understand that if we fail to meet these obligations, we will no longer have the privilege of providing milk to Oberweis Dairy.

Sounds pretty good, huh? I know I can't control everything...but I am glad I can take some steps to be healthier!
