More and more people are buying organic dairy products in the UK. Not only do many people think that organic milk and dairy products taste better, but producing milk organically is also better for the environment, the welfare of cows and our own health.
According to the Organic Milk Suppliers Co-operative (OMSCo), sales of organic milk are growing by 30% each year. In fact, more people are buying organic milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products than ever before. The rising consumer demand has partly been driven by the publication of scientific research highlighting the nutritional benefits of organic milk.
Organic milk has all the nutritional goodness of non-organic milk but, due to the cows' more natural diet, it also has some additional health benefits.
