Our cows and farms
We ensure our cows are healthy and happy
We love our cows and treat each of them as a V.I.C. (Very Important Cow). All our a2 Milk® farms in the United States are Validus certified for animal welfare. The humane treatment of our cows is of the utmost importance to us. After all, they’re an essential part of the team!
The quality of our milk is a top priority. Our cows are not treated with growth hormone rBST* and are fed a plant-based diet.

Our US local farmers take great care to make sure the a2 Milk® cows are segregated from the rest of the herd and milked separately. This helps ensure the milk we deliver to you is delicious, a2 Milk® with the natural A2 protein.
We bring you uncompromising quality of our milk from cow to cup. We genetically test every cow and select only the cows produce only the A2 protein type and no A1. We also test every batch of our milk at various points throughout the process to help ensure our milk comes from cows that produce only A2 protein.
