Highland Dairy FarmSoil that’s healthy not only grows nutritious grasses and crops, it also helps trap carbon underground, keeping it out of the atmosphere. We’ve invested in regenerative agriculture practices to increase soil health on over 60,000 acres of organic land.
Borbonus Family FarmWe all know cows are culprits–they can’t help it. The GHG methane is a natural by-product of their digestion, which comes out as burps. Improving manure storage and handling can also curb the release of GHGs.
We optimize our milk pickup routes among our network of farmer partners, as well as our distribution routes to retailers across the country. This helps cut down the distance driven, saving fuel and cutting GHG emissions.
Turner DairyOur carton packaging is widely recyclable, and we’re members of the Recycling Partnership, a national non-profit transforming recycling for good. You can find the How2Recyle logo with proper recycling instructions on our packaging.
We’re committed to regenerative agriculture practices, as of 2021 our farmer partners had a big impact.**.
fewer tons of CO2e***
the same as taking 1,626 cars off the road for a year, or 41 rail cars of coal saved from being burned.
tons of soil carbon trapped underground
tons of soil saved from being lost through erosion
the same as 954 dump truck loads of soil

***What is CO2e? It stands for “carbon dioxide equivalent.” While carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, it’s not the only one. (Take methane from cows, for example.) CO2e basically brings all greenhouse gases into one measurement.
